LEARN LATTE ART IN 8 MINUTES from World Champion Latte Artist!

[@aljoschapahl5147]

Until I watched this video, I always forgot beatboxing while doing latte art and kept painting hearts that looked like butts, but now I can easily stack four tulips into five unicorns. Thanks, Lance!

[@LanceHedrick]

Haha! It's the secret sauce

[@stevenbosch5925]

These shorter videos are amazing. They are like a little reminder to me. I am wachting many videos about coffee and latte art. This one really explains how to start with practicing latte art.

Nice tutorial as always. Hoping we get a video in the future along the lines of "10 common latte art designs in under 10 minutes" keep up the great work!

[@LanceHedrick]

Oh nice! Writing vids for me

[@mgm1018]

@@LanceHedrick+1 for this guys ideas on latte art design tutorial for a bunch of different designs, or maybe short form content with standalone video for each design technique. Your videos definitely got me jumped started with starting to pour ok looking latte art. Honestly the biggest help was the milk steaming tutorial. One of these days I’ll watch your longer video, I just never find the time in the morning, and I usually don’t make coffee later in the day when I’d have time to watch

[@thfree69]

This happen yet or nah?

[@mdfrick]

Love these short videos. I have no problem with the long form and prefer to learn all I can, but having these shorter versions after are like the cram session that drives the main points home for me. 🧠

[@LanceHedrick]

For sure! Thats how I'm intending them to be. Thanks for the support!

[@michaeloporto5202]

Lance is such an amazing and natural teacher. Wish I could channel his skills in my professional life.

[@essential_listening]

I think he just likes to do it, and that’s the most important part. Enthusiasm and the ability to fundamentalize complex concepts, seeing things from the most basic perspectives

[@erincrawford876]

You deserve so many more views and subscribers I got my first espresso machine for Christmas and I’ve been taking notes some people take espresso a little too serious and with your videos I can laugh a little this all should be FUN anyways love your work

[@LanceHedrick]

That is awesome! Congrats on your first machine! Thank you for watching.

[@joebrook9175]

Not everyone can teach. Lance knows how to teach. He does it correctly. So we can understand it. And that’s two 👍👍thumps up!

[@SRunningK]

Love your energy and enthusiasm! It's great to watch your tutorials, because compared to other tutorials you accomplish to verbalize what's happening. Keep up the awesome work!

[@LanceHedrick]

Thank you so much!

[@shotbysal]

Lance, i truly love your energy and the goofy “silky milky” lmao you’ve encouraged me to really invest myself in coffee chemistry AND milk art so much that i’ve been able to share your videos and influence to inspire Starbucks partners! I know, “Starbies”, BUT through this journey i’ve grown to become a certified coffee master, join the SCA, and move up to become a barista at the Reserve and Roastery in Chicago (i moved from LA). Your videos inspire, motivate, and bring so many people joy, Thank you!

[@jarodconner7880]

Literally watching this on my break at my fifth shift ever as a barista, you’re a god damn legend! Merry Christmas my guy

[@LanceHedrick]

Hell yeah! I love hearing that. Cheers!

[@kylefurness11]

This is the latte art video that finally gave me success! I've passed this video on to anyone that asks about latte art.

[@fgmenth]

For a moment I was afraid that there wouldn't be any impromptu beatboxing, so glad you never disappoint

[@LanceHedrick]

Hahaha! Couldn't disappoint you!

[@loreo1235]

I love this short videos - I think the mix of both styles. College class and short tutorial is great

[@michaelmeerbrey2459]

Short form is great! Would also love to see your preferred method for practice without milk and/or espresso (i.e. soap and water with food coloring espresso, milk with espresso grounds, or whatever, to mimic crema and give contrast)

[@LanceHedrick]

Will work on something asap!

[@GoTellJesusSaves]

He got that microfoam pourin till the micro dome glistens And got that microphone soarin while a megadome listens. Yeah, 30,000 ears itchin to hear what comes next So Lance throws the next pitch and puts it into context. He's making difficult moves with black pitcher in hand. Makin everything look easy and does it all for the fans.

Now I get why my milk wasn't good. I had always forgotten the beatboxing. Thanks Lance, you are a lifesaver.

[@Maxime-ho9iv]

I just watch the video on foam, milk foam that is, and both videos are beyond awesome of course. But then come the beat box !.. And I'm like "does this guy know CoffeeShin?", there must be a collab here!

[@z3r0w1ng]

Another inspirational Latte Art video, with a smidge of beat box thrown in for good measure. Why? Do we deserve this? What did we do? We are just humble YT'ers yearning for content and BOOM, a Coffee Video God emerges from the vast underground forest of coffee bean trees in the small village of Beatboxelvania...beware the beats he lays down, for they will enLance your very soul...

Perfect! That is the short form intention. Thanks for watching!

[@kellymorgan8062]

Love your videos and personality.

[@LanceHedrick]

Thank you! Means a lot

[@shaughnessychris]

Hi Lance! I really appreciate all your videos! They’ve really helped me figure things out. I was wondering what you’d think of starting a “react” series where you take a look at submissions about steaming milk/latte art and help determine what they did wrong. I think you’re so good at latte art that even when you try to show the mistakes things turn out better than most of mine… so seeing real users making mistakes might help the rest of us. Thanks!

[@LanceHedrick]

Hey! I would but my friend, Emilee, is going to start doing this and I don't want to steal her idea. Coffee YT is smaller than you'd think and I'd hate to swipe an idea she has come up with!

Hi Lance. Really like your casual approach to coffee. I think some take it far too serious. I'm new to home coffee making but enjoying it, but despite watching loads of tutorials, can't get any pattern due to not being able to get the foam to float, despite getting my milk like 'melted marshmallow '. Any tips greatly received. Thanks.

[@bradleysalzwedel4240]

Interesting, I never knew synchronized swimmers could become concrete that we could drink. Haha. Anyhow. Thank you so much for this video. I need to go and learn and practice now how to do this.

[@Sanmer50]

You have given me the inspiration to try again with latte art. I have to admit that I'm hopeless when it comes to doing this. I usually tell people to close their eyes and enjoy the taste of the coffee that I make them. As a friend once said to me while looking into a vaguely cloud shaped pattern in his coffee, I'm probably closer to being autistic than artistic.

[@LanceHedrick]

You can do it! I believe

[@danw5942]

[@orenshlo]

I did it..... I fixed my 20 years old flat burr grinder and performed a Bypass Surgery on my nostalgic Jura Subito unique espresso machine (model 2000-2005 which was also known by the alias Capresso Ultima, and Delonghi Something...), knowing that if it doesn't work my only option is to get the Breville Barista Pro (maybe that drove me harder to get the task done). Not saying (yet) that the Jura Subito is superior to the Barista Pro, but I am sure gonna try to prove that. No doubt the Jura Subito is an underdog (with somewhat damaged arteries), but it sure has some nice features up his sleeve to try to level the score against the mighty Barista. Worked 8 hours on the grinder and the heart-damaged espresso machine, weighed 19 grams of whatever Lavazza beans I could find, grinded them coarser (first shot), leveled the puck, tamped it.... and BOOM... crazy ass crema espresso was showing (after almost 10 years of not using my equipment). I was so hypnotized by the crema I lost my count and the shot became over-extracted and bitter. Also found out I used the pressurized option of the machine since this machine has a cylinder + piston instead of a standard porta filter, but its a different story to be told in a different lance-comment-hitchhiking-blog :)

[@LanceHedrick]

Oh dang! So glad you caught inspiration to do so. Thank you for sharing!

[@orenshlo]

Only 10 minutes ago I finally got a glimpse of my perfect Latte after many attempts. I will probably make you pee in you pence if you hear how I got to get the espresso shot for this latte. Stacked 19 grams of finely grounded light roasted Kenya in a 45mm cylinder and pressed it as hard as I could with the built-in piston. This created so much pressure on the coffee, since as thin and deep the cylinder (= porta filter) the coffee resistance is harder and requires much bigger pressure for water coming through. So the perfect espresso shot for my latte is actually taking not 25 seconds but about 2-3 minutes, when you can actually count the number of drops coming down to the latte cup. The espresso layer that accumulated between the warm milk and the foamed milk was of about 4 millimeter (way less than even 1:1 extraction). Unbelievably, the espresso shot is not burned and the latte is extremely flavorefull (not yet as I want it to be, but I'm getting there). What do you think? Am I a crazy person burning his coffee/espresso and thinking its delicious??? I wouldn't change it even if you say I am..... :)

[@LanceHedrick]

Not at all! Sounds like a ristretto style shot, which I'm not surprised tastes good. With such a deep puck, likely quite underextracted, but that tastes really good with milk! Probably undrinkable on its own haha

[@orenshlo]

Thanks for responding Lance, you are the greatest. Ristretto? 3 minutes brew time? (Or shell I say drip time).

[@orenshlo]

Boom.... I found the sweet spot. Finally grounded light roasted Kenya with a hint of Brazil (cause I ran out of Brazil that moment) dripped as a strong Ristretto (Ristretto ++) on a warm steamed milk...... Wow... just wow... I am in heaven... Can it get better than this? And this is with a ~20 years old Machine + Grinder.

Hey Lance! You should change your concrete analogy to hour 1, hour 2, etc... it hardens quite fast (relatively speaking). It does take many days to fully cure, but it's hard enough to stand on after a few hours.
