IF YOU CAN! please come back and leave a comment of your progress. Did this help you or hurt your technique? What specifically helped. This helps me know what you like and helps our other friends learn together.❤

[@chosenjoshua5763]

I'm sorry!! i don't want to offend you in anyway, but for mi to actually learn more from you is by marrying you. But that aside You are a blessing 👌😍😍

[@farrukhshahzad9818]

I love how your mistakes still look better than mine successes 😀

[@bobIsCoolhaha]

I'm just unable to pour anything nice.... I have a few things i'll integrate from this video but might come back to your channel. Latte Art is not something I want to actively practice, but everytime im pouring a shot of espresso and doing a milk drink, why not try, at some point i'll get it right. I think I was doing a little of all the mistakes in this video, which results in a very poor pour.

[@musisiabdul-ns7dm]

😂😂😂😂Like me

[@ashka6892]

Am done steaming bt art is pro nw any way thnx

[@alpinekiwi]

I love how your mistakes still look better than our successes 😀

[@kulbertistvan]

We need a video just to get to the mistakes😂

[@braxtondutson394]

Haha amen! I’d take her mistakes all day over what comes out of mine lol

[@chessandlattes]

Agreed. The mistakes results are already impressive for me but love the video explanations and side by side views. Amazing content !!

[@UltraInstinctZz]

Lol I was just about to say that. All my latte art looks like is modern art

[@UncleSkiBum]

Except for the foam turd, I've mastered that one. 🤣

[@mrpeppery]

I was really liking this video until she called me a "dirty scumbag". Now I love it. Seriously, this is the best instructional video on the subject I've encountered. Not just the tips themselves, but the way they are communicated and the use of side-by-side video.

[@alice_hml]

I laughed out loud at 2:22 when I saw a very realistic rendition of my coffees 😄

[@aramse]

It’s funny how you’re so good at your craft that you struggle to make your pours look bad. Great tips as always. Keep them coming and Happy New Year from a fellow creator who’s learnt a lot from your channel!

[@EmileeBryant]

So much thanks! I think learning any skills is simply narrowing the potential threshold of "failures" over time. At a certain point it becomes more like you said, a struggle. Thank you for following along! I am for sure a follower of yours as well.

[@belavet]

WOW. One video made my latte art improve immensely. My "great" is still half of what your "bad" is , but still, I am actually making hearts and not blobs now.

[@yvonnek1640]

New barista here!! 🎉 I have watched maaaaaany a latte art tutorial, and yours is by far the easiest for me to understand! Thanks for breaking down “rippling”. Using the visual example of water just made sooo much sense! Also thanks for the side by side comparison of too much integration vs too little integration of milk before starting the art 🤯 can’t wait to practice!!! Thanks a million!

[@stephaniethesoprano]

I can't wait to go to work tomorrow and try the less integration thing! That, and a different milk steaming technique... I accidentally made some REALLY good, clean latte art a few weeks ago on one particular latte and I'm not entirely sure how I did it and it has been haunting me haha

[@BoStark]

All good tips, you just need to keep everything in mind at the same time during the 0.00005 secs pours.

[@robaltieri745]

At-bats

[@TheDrwannabe1]

Pegged it. Again. I've been wondering for a while now, "How much integration is the right amount? Maybe I'm doing too much. I wish I knew..." Only making a latte every other day or so makes it hard to test (I need to invite a bunch of friends over for lattes and then I can run some controlled experiments). Thanks for doing the "lab work" for us! Another superb tutorial.

[@RobertMoroProfile]

Thank you so much Emilee, you just took my latte art skills to a new level! As a home barista, I can impress friends and family with my latte art. When watching videos of a professional doing latte art, I always noticed that their milk looks a bit runnier. I never knew why until you told me I wasn't swirling the milk enough. I was whirling, but you were right, I just wasn't doing that vigorously enough. Now my milk and latte art is one level up near perfection!

[@argentummolonlabe]

I love the random spinal column resting on the couch behind you :)

[@drewseman9389]

Who else felt personally attacked by the foam turd shot?

[@ystebadvonschlegel3295]

I need a t-shirt that says “Foam turd clan”

[@EmileeBryant]

Done Along with LART scum

[@peterlip8]

@@EmileeBryant I didn't feel attacked per se, more exposed as the latte art challenged person that I am. BTW, fantastic vid Emilee. Lots of issues for me to address, specifically getting rid of the "dome of foam" by swirling "just before, I'm about to pour". Look, you're not just a latte art champion, you're a word artist too!!

[@Daniellasanche]

Or....take it as the professional advice it is and improve

[@needsjustice818]

Hahahaha it was hilarious. Prob name the shop as Turd Shots

[@newtoeverythingy]

Nice video! Got me at the “If u push the person too hard, they die” LOL

Thanks glen!

[@thomastieber]

Unbelievable that this is ypur first video on KZbin. It is perfect. Thank you so much😊

[@EmileeBryant]

Hey! Thanks you kindly for the compliment and glad you enjoyed! Though this is maybe my 20th video in case you missed the others 🥹🤣

[@stephenjenkins1102]

I've watched so many latte art videos, but you are, by far, the best easiest to follow teacher yet. Thank you.

[@colinrandall8896]

Thannk you SO MUCH for making this!!!! I have been watching people like Lance Hedrick, Morgan Eckroth, and James Hoffman for YEARS, and I only already knew about milk swirling and cup tilting. It's currently 11:45 p.m. but I cannot wait to try these tips out and I already know they'll help so much!

[@elitebicycleracers]

This was so helpful - thanks! I watched the video before bed, woke up this morning, and applied it to my first cappuccino, and it was a step change improvement. The two tips I focused on were swirling and integrating. I started my pour much sooner than usual (less milk to start) and was immediately rewarded with clear ripple lines and a nice, full distribution that continued to the edge of the cup as it wrapped around. I actually kinda panicked because I wasn't expecting it to go that well and didn't really have a plan for where to go with it.

[@coreymccurry]

Thank you for this video, it changed my life.

[@zakariyyasheikh1674]

I'm watching this video during my shift. And my next coffee satisfied me.

[@PanzerIV88]

Probably the best explained video I've seen so far and one thing most videos fails with is to not explain what NOT to do, instead of just saying what we should be doing because I'd guess that most of us that fails are not even conscious that they do something everytime that they should never do but no one told them first so they will ever succeed.

[@labupreti5402]

Trust me ,the way you explain and showing reason behind why we couldn't not able get there , that's amazing,I swear you must be watch if you want to do better

[@twistedscience9248]

You're a great teacher! Thanks for these awesome tips, I definitely see how I'm making some of these common mistakes and I appreciate the solutions.

[@EmileeBryant]

Thank you so much! I’ll keep it coming haha

[@emberflame8396]

in my years of being a barista this is the single most helpful video on latte art I've ever watched!!

[@Stevo1361]

I've been watching hundreds of coffee content videos for over a year now and dozens upon dozens of latte art videos. Your way of thinking, expressing and demonstrating things (in this video) are the best I've seen. Subbed, looking forward to watching more.

[@AdrianBridgett]

Seeing such clear comparisons is really helpful, I really appreciate that extra thought and care - especially the clear glass demos for extra clarity (pun intended). "swirl more or you'll get a turd" describes my main problem so so well :-)

[@mindyshively4947]

I feel like I am going to have to watch this again and again- it is FULL of so much good info....getting ready to watch again and take some notes😋📖🖊☕💖 Thank you!!!!

[@dominikpfarr4012]

Brilliant video! I love the direct comparison of „not so good“ and „how to do it better“ next to each other!

[@cheekster777]

The rhyming in this video is on point! 👌🏻

[@m3rc14n]

You’re such a great coach. Just made an instant impact on my latte art! X

[@EmileeBryant]

So happy to hear that! Thank you! Let’s see you in the competitions soon enough.

[@Eczov]

I follow a lot of baristas and I have seen a lot of videos, but you are the one I learned more.

[@MyStolenAimbot]

Watching this as i drink a latte. Im getting the rest of my coffee accessories this week for my setup. Excited to start making my own

[@nicomelichar3576]

Wow, thank you! I made it in my coffe shop with the french press mode, and the emulsify of the milk its more difficult than yours. So its too good to know this kind of tips. Thxs a lot for this video! Greetings from Patagonia, Argentina.

[@adamtideman4953]

The Latte in the Before picture looks like a masterpiece.

[@clubmate12]

Not many youtubers put that much care in a video, with all the graphics, the nice shots, the witty and dark comments 😅 Seriously some nice explanation there. Thanks to you and Lance, I am finally pouring some nice cups.

[@EmileeBryant]

Thank you! I make it too much work sometimes haha. Glad you’re seeing results! :D

[@samanthacorralejo1769]

This video was SO informative! Thank you for breaking it down with all the examples too.

[@jorgeramos5136]

Beautiful video! Before finding this great tutorial, this morning I made 2 lattes and ended up with 2 foam turds 😂. At least I’m understanding a bit more on how the foaming process works! Will continue practicing. I’ll come back with a progress report after watching this. Thanks, Emilee! ❤

[@NinaKomsic]

Brutally good video! You are a great techer, this video was short, but filled with information. Keep up the good work :)

[@EmileeBryant]

Thank you! All I want is to help and share so folks can learn faster than I did. So happy you enjoyed this jam packed vid

woo new vid!!!

Showing the angles with the glass vessels at 3:49 was quality.

[@richardholmes5209]

I'm not yet where I want to be, for six months I've been making varying degrees of white blobs but your tips made a huge difference from the first time I adopted them. Thank you so much.

[@meowmi1130]

This is the best and the most thorough video I came across to learn about making coffee art. I'm excited to try out!

[@grumpyoldguy4817]

Just to be perfectly clear, your outro alone earned a sub from me. The content was amazing, but... you got me. Keep up the great work.

[@rberga1]

Wow I’ve watched many different latte art videos and this video had the missing links for me that no one else ever talked about!!! Thank you!!!

[@potkettle]

The first two of these were so helpful. Instant improvement in my designs!

[@jm.varian911]

Hey this is really helpful! Just found out your video from weird YT algorithm, and it's been really helpful. Especially no. 1! Thank you Emilee!

[@ronstar8857]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with latte art. I found this video to be one of the best on KZbin for causes of latte art problems. I am going to integrate them into my coffee routine tomorrow morning. Cheers!

[@mario08133]

Thank you Emilee! Things, surely, I don’t notice.

[@damianhbk1]

This is the video I didn't know I needed. Thank you for going into detail with all these techniques. I know exactly what I'm doing wrong in my pours! Can't wait till morning now!

[@enricokohler475]

I really love the flow of your pours, there is a special raw beauty in them! - I really need to work on lowering down my integration, I think it's holding me down even after years of pouring;) - regarding the swirling: I too have realized the more you swirl the better. But in my own attemps I found that once I finished steaming I like to swirl, transfer all of the milk/foam to another pitcher, swirl again and then transfer them back to my pouring pitcher and swirl again. In my perception, I get the least least amount of seperation this way and can maintain a very consistent density of microfoam throughout the whole pour. For me it's especially important, since my machine is a crappy modded Gaggia Evo, the first machine I started my coffee journey with and the stream pressure is not stable, so I basically have to a similar thing to oldschool temperature surfing to get to steam with a consistent pressure and also the steam being not too wet....;) Hope you can rate my free pours one day!

[@desmit6]

I don’t even drink lattes but was mesmerized. Awesome

[@JuanRamirez-di9bl]

This is by far the best explanation on how to do this thing! Thank you! I am finally gonna be able to draw Jim Carrey with a moustache in my cup!

[@crystaloffrost]

Again, the best explanation on this topic I have seen so far. :)

[@redgey5163]

What a great video. I was the "you" you were talking to at the start. Also, the funniest sign off line I've ever heard on a video. I'll be sure to repeat it to my customers after every impeccably designed coffee! Subscribed!

[@makethatlimedrop]

KZbin has figured out I have a new espresso machine now, and your video was the first latte art vid to pop onto my feed. After ~50 previous failed attempts faking my way through it, this morning after your vid I made my first foam squiggles. Cheers!

[@markforterealtor4537]

Thanks Kiddo. Your shots are great.

[@rickhoupt6933]

I’ve never done this but interested in learning. I only have a moka pot, aeropress and V60. Hoping my new moka pot will yield good shots after practice. It is my newest method. Thanks for sharing

[@furefure6544]

This video is a gold 🪙 mine!

[@nurita4]

This was helpful and refreshing! Thank you! :)) I feel like most videos on latte are just repeat themselves, this was awesome.

Gosh thank you. I feel more confident already. Thank you again.

[@Nickporter17]

Did it help you?

[@lemon_the_spider]

@@Nickporter17 yes actually! The one that I found that helped the most was having too much liquid in the pitcher! So when practicing, I find I get better texture milk in a smaller pitcher but then I transfer it to a larger one for the latte art (edit: exactly like she says but I forgot about that until rewatching the video lol)
