Thank you so much for taking the time to make such comprehensive tutorials. I’m new to all of this and I feel like you’ve helped my progress by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time. QUESTION: If my machine won’t let me make the espresso and steam the milk at the same time, which do you think I should make first? I’ve been steaming the milk first and swirling it until the espresso is ready. 🤷🏼♀️

After watching many milk foam tutorials I'm shocked that you are the only one smart enough to show with glass and water so we can see the wand depth and positioning! That was very helpful.

I've watched about 12 million videos on how to prepare the perfect silky milk. This one is by far the best! It is short and to the point, covering the main points. The glass container makes it a lot easier to understand the position of the steam wand. I'm an instant fan. Thank you.

Going from stretching to incorporating once milk is body temp is a gem of a tip - this is the thing that let me be consistent with different types of milks, different amounts etc. Much better than trying to time it, or judge by how much volume has increased etc

Thanks for your excellent tutorials, Lance! Though I followed your instructions carefully I just got hot oat milk and almost no foam when steaming on my new La Pavoni Cellini Mini. This morning I put the milk jar into the fridge for a while to see if that lower temperature would make a change. It worked wonders! From the first second, I knew that this was the missing variable. The milk slowly rose to a smooth, silky foam to the mug's rim. I couldn't imagine that a small temperature difference could make such a big difference. 🙏

I am New to your channel and new to the barista world so I have a lot of listening to do!!! I have watched at least 40 videos on milk steaming techniques and this is by far my favorite video. Why? 1- you use glass (see-thru) pitcher! Just Genius! 2- you show different angles to pinpoint exact hand /wand placement 3- you don’t ramble on and on! I’m in love!!! Thank you soooooo much! I can’t wait to try this technique on the espresso machine. Do you have a video on how to make every espresso drink and how best to memorize recipes?

Appreciate the refresher. Actually reminded me of a (very minor) mistake I was making. I was doing 0.75/0.25 (or putting myself in the middle of that back right quadrant). Still got silky milky in that position, but I think bringing it back to the middle that extra 0.25 will definitely help with consistency.

Hi Lance! I just discovered your channel and it is excellent! I have been a home barista for over decade and your steam wand position advice has already started to help me get even better. Question: do you change the positioning at all depending on the number of holes in your steam tip? I have seen lots of different advice for 2 hole vs. 3 hole vs 4 hole positioning. Obviously, timing will be different, but have you played around with your technique with all of them? Also, in one of your videos, you mention that it "works" on all milk varieties, noting that some alternative milks might need a little more aggressive introduction of air. Would you please do a video working with skim and 1% milk? Lots of people want their lattes with the "more healthy" option but I find it much more challenging to get silky milk with those. Thanks!
