THANK YOU.

[@RR-iq8ze]

If I add an espresso shot or even two espresso shots to a latte doesn't that change it to a cappucino? I don't know anything, but I was at the Wawa a few days ago and the order screeen asked me if I wanted to add an extra shot or two for 50 cents or a dollar. I added one shot, because I remember how light the latte is, normally. Way too milky and doesn't taste at all like coffee. Even with one shot, it wasn't so coffee flavored, but still better than without.

[@pepparmostheelder]

As someone who worked as a barista briefly I can call BS on that. For me it meant it was the only pattern I could reliably do. So it could just as likely mean your barista is not particularly good at latte art xD

@@pepparmostheelder I worked as a barista for 2 years and tbh at first this was my reason for it too... but I'd argue that a proper, nice heart does require some skill!

[@pepparmostheelder]

​@@alexinachoma5306 Sure but as far as patterns go its probably the easiest. Mainly cause it can be done without ever resetting to poor so less manouvering with the milk. Compared to for example a leaf even though the actual movement is similar. All I know is that I did it for that reason and not because of who the customer was. That said from now on I'll pretend that every time I get a heart on my coffe its because the barista fancies me :P Nice ego boost to go with the coffe

[@Lukergamer]

This video has completely changed how I prepare milk at home. In particular, pouring from the side of the jug instead of the front really helped with keeping the espresso as dry as possible while getting the foam on top (I make a lot of macchiatos).

[@nudge1983]

If you ever do this again just use clear glass cups to easily see the amount of foam

[@keyk4657]

It's easier to do it in cups (when you're in a shop) cause they usually fit the perfect amount. As for glasses, if i compare to my workplace, they would be too small for even a small latte

[@recruitmentch]

As an Italian, I can tell you the difference very easily. A cappuccino is a coffee drink that contains milk and we usually drink it for breakfast. Latte is milk. The Italian word for Milk is latte.

[@chloeharveyy]

Coffee shops do use the title 'caffe latte' but us brits are lazy and shorten it to latte haha

[@barneylaurance1865]

The video was in English though.

[@belle_pomme]

Different languages exist. If you go to an English-speaking country and ask for a latte, you're not going to get milk.

[@RoyArav]

This was a great video. Very useful information Chloe, cheers! :) From my coffee knowledge and barista experience I remember that cappuccino should usually have 1/3 espresso, 1/3 milk, 1/3 milk foam (1:1:1 ratio).

[@pompeomagno5916]

Nice video Chloe, love your accent :-) Just a couple tips if you are in Italy: 1) If you order a Latte, probably the barista will ask if you want it cold or warm, because he will serve you just a glass of milk; 2) a Cappuccino is often served (at least in Rome) with a sprinkle of cocoa powder on top. Try it!

[@jimmyjames2022]

Thanks for this, nicely done Chloe! James Hoffman (The World Atlas of Coffee) did a utoob bit on Capucinos and says the Capucin monks didn't shave their heads, and the name comes from their robes colour. But the shaved head idea works welly in practice.

So in Australia if you ask for a Cappuccino you get a latte 90% of the time.

[@RayTheMickey]

Thanks for the training!

[@tunstali]

In my personal favourite experiences, a latte has the silkier milk & just a higher milk to coffee ratio, something you can sip and relax and take your time to drink with the sweetness of the milk contrasting the espresso & preferably in a glass. My favourite way to have a cappucino is a good double espresso in a wide small ceramic cup - plenty of froth, minimal milk, for that foamy + espresso mouth feel. With or with chocolate. I find particularly in England than when you go to artisan coffee shops, the espresso in the drink is amazing, but every cappucino/latte/flat white tastes the same. I'd rather the differences be a bit more distinct.
