Latte Art Mistakes: This is why your Latte Art fails

[@manuela.]

I'm actually flattered that you think my latte art looks like those 'disasters' in the beginning

[@diiii_mond]

Bruh Fr. I can barely get mine to form anything. I think I primarily need a pitcher cause I’m using my French press and looking at the way it flows, it doesn’t flow out the same as a pitcher would.

[@bubblefish17]

@@diiii_mond You do need a pitcher. I too did latte art with my french press in the beginning, but the tool is not designed to pour latte art unfortunately.

the last tip is really nice.

[@kevinlima9336]

Yeah, I was like :O

[@brendanhill5948]

wqcxb562 that’s what she said.

[@lintanghutama]

Yes it is so much better than using the dishwashing soap. 👍

[@jayjayalmendra8355]

I saw a barista doing almost the same thing(forgot his name) the different was he put coffee powder on the cup(no liquid just powder) in the first try so it wont discoloured the milk so much so you can try and try again using the same milk to practice. That is actually a very good tip indeed. Love it.

[@akshayde]

Thats what she said!! (in a gang bang)

[@stavros9849]

“...Your here because your latte art looks more like this:” Proceeds to create latte art still better then my white blob in the middle of the cup. Self-Esteem level -1

[@75yomu]

I think its because of many hours training and now it is hard to mess it up.

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

Sorry, in hindsight some of the mistakes we showed could have been worse.

[@skylark4074]

Haha I thought the same - but I guess once you can do it properly it’s hard to do it wrong !

I had the same experience as well - but we will get this - right??!

Oh, man! I would be sooooo pleased if i can do latte failed art like you did in the beginning.

As a beginning barista, you just saved me! The speed and thickness was exactly what I couldn't figure out. I work at a high quality café so I feel a lot of pressure lol

Brilliant! Simply explained - thank you! As a 73 year old grandma you have taught me something I've wanted to do for ages with my fancy coffee machine and milk frother. Can't wait to have a go!

[@lucieptackova1601]

The last tip is very good idea! I didn' t want to waste so much milk for practicing, but now I can practice latte art more often. Thank you for this video!!

[@IPv6Freely]

"your latte art looks more like this" ... yeah, right. My latte art looks nowhere near that good.

[@akshaynigam9729]

Really nicely presented video! I would have loved to hear a little bit more about step 2 really - how you start pushing that art on the surface, my milk quite often sinks or doesn't form a discernible shape even when i pour from a low height. Also if anyone else is reading this and don't always have chocolate - cinnamon powder makes for a good handy substitute to practice.

[@jhung1010]

Great tutorial! I've just started for a month now with my new breville express. With a bit of experience I can fully comprehend every single tip you have listed. Unfortunately didn't come across your video early enough. I like your bonus tip. If I had known earlier I wouldn't need to drink so much coffee and chocolate milk. Thank you again.

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

Thanks, glad we could help

[@MS-vl3im]

thank you for the tips! Mistake #4 for me is so hard to adjust, I always pour so slow fearing it’ll overflow

[@beatrice1700]

The bonus was even better than the whole tips, helps with practicing a lot

[@DeltaTimo]

I agree, I don't make coffee that I (or others) don't drink so it gets a bit frustrating not being able to practice as much.

[@Back2Basics1871]

Great tips, thanks for the video. I have also heard that a way to practice is to use water with one drop of washing up liquid. It steams up a bit like milk and you can practice over and over. I've tried it myself and it's not a bad way to practice if it's the art and not the frothing that you need work on.

[@jamesberry7371]

Hey thanks Paul, you've just explained how to froth milk correctly, so simply and it all makes perfect sense "why couldn't I see that"!!! I've been making espresso flat whites & cappuccinos (at home) now for about 5 years and have always wondered how they do it so much tastier in the cafe with exactly the same coffee beans. But it does take practice, thanks for the tips on how to blend the coffee and how to prepare the milk for latte art.

[@rachelhunt7910]

The excitement I felt when you gave the bonus tip for practising!! Oh my word!!! Trying it out TODAY! :D

[@sinetwo]

That one where you just scooped out the foam and threw the equipment 😂

Appreciate your patience to express in detail.

[@bdavison31]

Thank-you for this. All of the tips were great but that last one?! Gold medal winner!

[@micheleodstrcilek3703]

My biggest problem with latte art is my milk isn't thick enough. And the next time it's to thick .

[@MrBahBZ]

This brotha got some thick milk problems

[@MMAisFedor]

@@MrBahBZ big tits?

[@KC-cr9ew]

You can get a milk pitcher that has temperature readings on the side, which is especially useful when training new baristas. What I learned was to take the milk wand out as soon as the pitcher is too hot to put your palm against. And make sure to tap the bottom of the pitcher on a flat surface to get rid of air bubbles

[@natasha_lorensky]

I don't have a espresso machine, soooo...

[@MrBahBZ]

@@KC-cr9ew what part of the pitcher, though? The bottom is much hotter than the sides.

[@WiseAilbhean]

💯👏🏽👏🏽The how to practice without breaking the budget is my favorite tip. because if there wasn’t a way to not waste i’d be hesitant to learn.

[@kdawgs2001]

Biggest mistake : Everything

[@hisgracethedukeofavalon6600]

Such an amazing video. My problem was mainly pouring too fast and pulling away too much/fast. Love the tips will try again.

[@curlyuus_1516]

First I went like : "Nope. My kind of fail doesn't figure in this list" because my milk doesn't even lay on the crema Then I saw 3 types of my fails and I was like soooo happyyy like "ohhh yesssssss" 😂😂😂

[@PurpleWarlockDragon]

I love the big clump of foam in the beginning. :D

[@kainatxkay]

My mistake is milk texturing! Always too thin or too thick :( I can't even perfect the art cause I haven't been able to practice making ANYTHING cause the texture is way off every time! lol

[@elkolombardi]

I have that issue all the time 😭😭 It takes a lot of practice to get it perfect, that's for certain

[@Thekidisalright]

Thumbs up for the super useful bonus tip, literally save lots of coffee and milk! Thank you.

[@wheredidfrankgo]

That last tip is a true game changer I believe. As a home barista drinking one cup a day (mainly because the oat milk is 3$), practice is only once a day otherwise 😂

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

I've seen many Latte Art tips on youtube. Many of them look good, but nonsense. Yours look messy, but pure useful. Thanks for the good tips!

[@hoangvo8296]

0:32 that is the way my manager makes the latte art for customers. Actually, she hates getting smooth foam for the latte. Then she told me to do the same way. I gotta say: wow... it is not called Latte art Lol....

[@gigelushful]

2006 cappucino :))

[@Battlehammer333]

although it doesn't have anything to do with latte art it is one way to make a cappuccino and if you will even the "original" way. silky microfoam and thus latte art only ever developed in the late 20s century.

[@s0bad]

does she splash the whole thing into the customer's face when serving it? Might as well at that point..

[@hoangvo8296]

@@s0bad she does. She says that she loves making big bubbles for the foam instead of getting smooth foam. She believes that by that way, you will not “waste” milk for customers lol....

Im sure my steamed milk is too thin, how do i get it right without too much foam? Second question, i cant tell when its time to start the latte art?

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

Practice makes perfect! Try aerating your milk within the first few seconds, while working on creating a silky spin in your jug. We'd say the half way point is a good time to start your latte art. Hope this helps!

[@L1nkware]

i have been struggling with the end of my hearts and tulips ending in a Blob instead of a tail, didnt even realize that when my coworkers said "lift the cup up", they didnt mean the cup im pouring into, they meant LIFT THE JUG OF MILK!!!!!! thank you so much!

You can also practice with soapy water (aerated from a $5 milk frother), pouring into a couple ounces of water mixed with cheap Nescafe.

[@Cu_tea_party]

The #1 reason I have yet to succeed at latte art so far is the very primal urge in my brain to make as much foam as possible, even if I try to hold myself back there's just something in the back of my mind that goes 'no, more foam' and I succumb every time. I've decided on having smaller cups of coffee so I can make more cups to practice without going jittery
