4 Basic Latte Hearts ❤

Extra Pointers
- When you are cutting the heart, you want to cut in an arc so that the bottom of the heart is sharp and not blobby.
- The height of your pitcher to the milk is very important when determining the size of the art. Closer to the crema makes it so that more milk floats, making the design bigger.
- Being able to center the design is something that is key for symmetry. If you notice your latte art being too close to one specific edge, try to compensate and tweak your future pours to center the design more.
- For more complex latte art, start your design as early as possible. Add as little milk as possible to the espresso, then begin your art and be very sparing with your milk.
- Controlling the flow rate of the milk allows you to control the size of the design. Slower pour means that more milk floats on-top of the crema making the art we see, while a faster pour penetrates the crema and mixes with the liquid below.

What a lot of people skip on making latte art is having quality milk and steaming technique. When I finally bought proper, high quality milk and steamed it well the latte art almost poured itself.

[@luisgverdiales1227]

Ive been frustrated trying to get the milk to the point of doing all those latte art. Any useable tips? Thks

[@disinvolto]

@@termin8d I feel like the temperature is super important though more than anything. What temperature is your latte and is it hot when you mix it with the espresso? I think the temperature for it to work is not hot and it’s probably luke warm and doesn’t taste good.

[@termin8d]

@@disinvolto Very true. By no means I have mastered the technique. My Gaggia Classic Pro doesn't have a PID which I think would help with consistency.

[@brewinghabits]

Aiming for ~60°C should be what you strive for with all drinks unless the customer wants something else. It's the range where the fats have broken down and proteins do their thing making silky smooth foam.

@@termin8dthx!

[@WeekendMuse]

This short is really helpful. One of the aspects to pay attention to is the leftover milk in the jug after the art is completed. Make sure to froth more milk.

Blud is onto nothing 💀

I love the wiggle one

I watched a loooooot of videos to learn stuff about latte art. But this short video gives really good an helpful tipps. Thanks @brewinghabits !

Really helped thank you

Brilliant video, thank you! 😍

[@kazd2561]

Need to practice these before we get busier,they look great!😁👍

[@R3yne]

This looks good in a basic perspective, wait till you get to competitive scene and they have literally a heart shape ruler to see if you pour the heart ambidextrous and in a right dimension😂 what a tough time back then

Thank's bro, awesome content

[@rxonmymind8362]

I get the milk out ok. It's the foam that's stubborn and doesn't want to come out.

[@richardbennett5022]

The milk should be one texture all the way through. Make sure to get a good vortex when steaming and dont forget to swirl

[@Peterkha]

Wow so very nice ❤🎉❤

Is the type of milk you use important on how it turns out?

I used a hand frother but there are lots of bubble in my milk. Please tell me the correct way to make latte and also which milk is best for latte art.

[@kg-Whatthehelliseventhat]

I make the best art. No one can touch my spirals. They r hypnotising... Cry😢

[@otros1154]

What type of milk do you use? It looks thicker than the one I use; maybe that's why it never works :0

[@MrCodeMan3]

What size and type of mug is should buy for this latte?

[@saranghae_s-jay]

I'm really new...so is that milk u make art with... froggy milk??

[@marionrehm689]

can you do this with 2% milk?

[@xxdontpanicxx2056]

How do I make the white part you’re pouring?

[@tags.2412]

How come my my milk doesn’t spread out like that? Like It’ll be on top of the crema and I try to wiggle the milk to make it fancy but once it’s poured it sits still, it don’t move

[@MohammadIqbal-ph3hi]

How do we know when to do the heart

[@davi_brt]

The milk I steam doesn’t remain on the coffee surface!

[@twoseasonscoffee3976]

Actually the most important is frothing

[@-tivit-6487]

You should have added a side pov of the art for better understanding

[@lailazdiary]

The milk looks thick idk i always try but I fail.

[@mohammadjalal6714]

You need to learn more!😂😂😂

[@deldeek]

My struggle is how to get the milk to stay at the top of the crème it always just sink into the cup 😔

[@adamhancock9354]

Theres a lot of factors that will cause this. Main things to get right are how much you stretch the milk, how textured the milk is after stretching & how you execute your pour.

[@anchorsea6]

Had the same problem. Make sure the pitcher touches the cups end, then the milk will be on top. Idk how to explain it but basically make sure the pitcher is so close to the cup (when u want to make the latte art alr) that it touches the cup, you can even slightly lean on the cup.

[@MohammadIqbal-ph3hi]

How do we know we have done with the base

[@brewinghabits]

When the espresso and milk has mixed enough creating an even consistency base, that's when you can start your heart. If you start too early, the milk will sink straight through not leading to a heart. The better you steam the milk and mix it together with the espresso, the earlier you can start your heart.

[@MohammadIqbal-ph3hi]

@@brewinghabits thank you very much sir

[@dronesaddict1737]

you pulled the base of the heart too much

[@dallasbhowell8485]

That last one was an onion

[@sakumzimbatha1072]

That looks more like buttcheecks than a heart

[@Bowser558]

None of them are symmetrical

[@scrane5500]

Do designs work the same with plant-based milks? I have a family history of Cancer so need to avoid the estrogen and BLV in dairy. Thanks for sharing

[@CACabantac]

As a person who still in the practice of pulling latte art at home (after experiencing how to do it, and be trained by a barista friend of mine), the answer for your question is... yes it's possible to make latte art designs with plant-based milk. I would say oat milk or almond milk would be the most frequently used plant-based milk by many baristas.

[@omarhani]

Last one looks like an onion 🧅

[@tntnntan]

Last one is an onion

Please dont start learning people these things before you master it yourself 😢

[@fabioballestra704]

And don't forget the incantation you use to start the milk, turning the cappuccino white. 🪄
