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.

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.

Thanks a lot for the bonus tip! I've been trying to pratice this but the enormous amount of lattes to drink and the excessive milk consumption have been getting in the way. Nice to know there is a simple method to practice this!

[@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!!

[@mindxcircus]

I love the Bonus Tip! I was wondering how to keep practicing without having to kill my family members by forcing them drink coffee cups after cups 🤣🤣🤣 you saved their lives. Thanks!

[@10000roman]

Quick tip: if u have food coloring, add water to your cup and a dash of coloring, and for the milk just add water to your pitcher and a drop of liquid soap and it simulates the milk :) and no more wasting coffee or milk

I've always wanted to know how to properly practice this. Have been failing miserably and forcing myself and my family to drink a lot of lattes. I'm going to start using this method first thing tomorrow!

[@mindxcircus]

@@rodrigoom5311 we should have our own guild of latte art practitioners who forces their family members to drink lattes for the sake of our practice 🤣 But I'm happy to say I can do a fat triple tulips now! But sometimes it works out sometimes it doesn't, the point is to keep at ita you'll be happy when you see all the practice is paying off! 😁

[@lauralacy9572]

Best tips I've ever seen, even after being trained in a coffee house.

[@IPv6Freely]

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

[@adriancorrea3989]

Bro! I work at a coffee shop, and this is the best bonus tip I've been given to continue to practice my latte art without wasting a lot. Thank you so much!

Great! 'keep practicing' if it's too thin, I'm glad I watched the video for this advise

[@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.

[@nazarenesupriya5655]

Appreciate your patience to express in detail.

[@JasonMcCarrell]

This popped into my feed after i poured my upteenth cup where my art was chunky, especially the last line. I realized i was doing the final pour too close to the cup. Also I think I'm pouring too slow and starting the art too late. Amazing advice! I also need to get me some cocoa and a shaker to do some practice! So cool!

[@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.

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

[@franzitrone]

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.

Wow! that is so helpful but i always seem to run out of space and it overflows. defiantly going to going to use the chocolate method.

[@rachelhunt7910]

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

[@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.

[@witowerner161]

very nice tips - especially the one minimizing waste of coffee. I don't generally have problems pouring rosettas, but I found this video really helpful

[@ystebadvonschlegel3295]

Great video! I either get milk that just sinks below or a thick blob that doesn’t flow backwards at all - just sits there. So I’m thinking after watching this that I’m struggling with consistent texture and also maybe speed. Trying to change multiple variables at once is hard though to figure out which one is the main problem.

[@hisgracethedukeofavalon6600]

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

Really helpful tips. Clear and simple. Thank you so much 😊

[@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.

[@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.

[@da991s]

Thank you so much! I finally know what I did wrong!!! I have kept trying but didn't know what went wrong. I poured too slow, hence no froth to draw latte art. This information is very clear and you delivered it very efficiently! Thank you so much!!!!

[@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

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.

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

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!

Yup. Did all those mistakes. My milk jug almost touches the rim of the latte cup when I start the latte art. Sometimes it does. I also find that if your milk is too thick you can minimize the foam by pouring higher than normal and do a simple heart. Forget about the ferns with thick milk.
