[@taroman7100]

I agree no clutter just straight to it! thanks guys

[@FatNorthernBigot]

Let me be one of the many people praising this video on it's straightforward, easy-to-understand approach. Thank you!

[@TAPDecir]

FINALLY, a proper video teaching the basics, with passion and true facts, thanks!

[@reyjoson7895]

That moment when you used dishsoap and got beautiful latte art. You got too excited and drink it haha

[@htethtetaung448]

Haha

[@oznurc.5415]

Are u ok

[@kuku9543]

@Jay M Congratulations, you just ruined this comment section

[@xafafx]

Noooo! 🤣🤣OMG

[@endlessdrive8421]

I'm sure that was quite a "clean" tasting latte 😉👌

[@radiantav]

This is fantastic video, all signal, no noise. Great production quality too. Instant subscribe.

[@kristhetimetraveller3120]

This. Wish more videos were like this.

[@ooiyoubin]

Slowly but surely I'm getting a silky textured. Thank you for this great video !!

[@emanuelldavid607]

Amazing! The visualization is great, and the way he explains the tutorial is clear. I Love this.

[@ayenayen3806]

this is informative! I've been trying to create a perfect thick foam and one time "accidently" done it without knowing how I did it. tried recreating it to no avail 😂😂😂

[@instantpotenjoyer]

This is the best video on milk texturing on youtube by far!

[@jonnoble1741]

Great video guys. Love the step by step and the real time recap. Sweet!

[@Uncompletedrecall]

I've watched dozens of vids on this topic and this is the best I've found so far. Nice job.

[@jondoeami]

This video allowed me to froth the milk perfectly and make latte art when I couldn’t before despite tying so many times. Thanks for this tutorial!

[@hunterjardine7148]

Just started a cafe job and this is honestly one of the best videos I’ve watched explaining how to hold the cup and steamer. I keep ending up with super watery milk and I hate it. Tomorrow is one of my last training days so wish me luck.

[@NoName-ny1bt]

How did it go?

How's it going over there? :) ☕

[@phdwho9656]

Hope you’re making great coffee and latte art now 🙃

[@thejazzman4591]

i just had my first shift yesterday and holy hell was it annoying milk steaming is a pain in the arse

[@mayab487]

Hi there. I'm a Batista in training (beginner). This video was so so so helpful, especially the dish washing alternative as milk! A great way to save good milk, thank you very much!

[@etpaprika]

This is the most honest video about milk frothing. Never heard that noise when i watched other videos. Aweosme content, keep it coming. 😌

[@Garyh61]

Double, double, toil and trouble, in my milk jug, froth and bubble! Love this example and especially the practice tip at the end - water and dishwash! 😀

[@mariyapatokina3810]

This is magic! It took me four weeks of daily practice with my first ever coffee machine, tons of videos about frothing watched. That all got me nowhere and left me so disappointed. I had almost no foam in my milk, it would only get hot from my steamer. All until I came across this tutorial! Every single milk I froth ever since is perfect! Who would've thought that the key to success is the SOUND of the milk. That hissing sound! Not the airplane one (that I definitely had at the start of my practice with the steamer 😅). Thank you so very much for this tutorial! 💛

[@sexypicard]

This is one of the best videos on this topic I've seen. Quality footage and editing. Everything was well throughout to facilitate learning. A+

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

Glad it was helpful!

[@AD-kv9kj]

@@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters Question! Should you warm the milk before steaming it? I have been trying to get the milk warm enough to not leave the coffee luke warm and not hot enough at the end. However, this means I have to steam it too long and the texture gets a bit too thick for proper latte art. Do baristas have a constant supply of pre-warmed milk on hand or do they just use the milk straight from the fridge?

[@Fixingthings101]

Thanks for this video! Lots of great hints and tips in 5 minutes. I like the use of clear quality gates to move onto the next step (i.e. ~ 20% foamed, sound of the milk). Clear technique to follow and to try and perfect. Most other videos are just someone blabbering on about their coffee skills and where they've worked :)

[@edzimmerman5591]

A really great video. It’s direct, to the point and so easy to understand. This may be the best video on the subject and unfortunately I have seen plenty for comparison

[@JungleQueen17]

Man, these are great videos! Thank you so much guys for putting them together to help people get their technique right! The editing is great, and the instructions are extremely well presented!

[@luisarevalo6112]

I’m going to sound repetatvie but, this by far has been the best and most insightful video I’ve watched on steaming milk. Easy straight forward directions/examples.

[@ericscharf301]

Thank you so much for the help! I recently picked up a Breville Infuser and after watching your video and practicing the technique a few times on soap and water, I’ve made my milk perfect for latte art. Now to work on the art technique itself… 😁

[@rachsmith9747]

This was so helpful, you have a great voice and you’re very articulate. Thank you!

[@anseal5681]

Such a great tutorial. I have my Breville Barista Expresso Machine for nearly 2 yrs now and I had no idea how to properly texturize milk. I will definitely start learning tomorrow with some wated and dishwasher liquid. :)

[@mawromau]

This is one the best tutorial of milk frothing ive seen 😍😍😍 love it..

[@cinnamonsenorita3780]

This video was so well done...like it’s about milk steaming....but still so professional and entertaining

[@wuhjuhbuh]

Thank you so much for this detailed video! Clear instructions. Been looking for a video like this!

[@luthfiyahra1980]

wow, this channel so amazing. Very educative and so detail. I'm so excited, thank's😭

[@mdbw3411]

Really good video thanks!! My coworker taught me the dish soap thing when teaching me how to steam milk too, it’s crazy how much it looks like milk

[@elizabethalyn]

Finally a video that makes sense!! Commenting to support y'all!

[@djkittypuff]

Best instructional video made on milk frothing, thanks guys. Subscribed immediately!

[@clintmackinlay]

so nice to find such an expert team that happens to be a few blocks from home!!

[@jamesberry7371]

Thanks, this has given me something to go by. One particular part which shows where to put and how to use the steam wand in the jug correctly, of course that would vary slightly depending on the milk, jug size, wand size, steam pressure etc. Thankyou enjoyed the whole video

[@juliacathrin4681]

Omg after 1000 tutorials and attempts of trying doing the right foam I finally managed it after the first try with this video. I really can't believe it. One tip if your milk gets hot too fast: hold your cup and Steamer like shown in the video and then start by touching the milks surface with only the tip of your Steamer while it's already on. Do that while the milk gets hotter and only in the end put in the tip a little more to get that soft, shiny foam. The texture you get with this technique is insane!

[@tulayaydncalskan8772]

The best and easiest to learn to make a latte w step by step: you are good teacher w a great voice and you are clearly talking/explaining every details/tips.

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

Thank you! 😃

[@hanbyeolkim8557]

Finally I got an idea, the best ever tutorial that I found. I'm interested to learn barista. Thank you

[@fiorellaceciliamascaro5340]

from all the videos en the barista for beginners, this is the most useful and clear video, thanks!!!

[@marekstanicki]

Thank you so much, gents! This video helped me out a lot. Cheers from Canada!

[@vashmetfranz6697]

When you said ‘it’s probably not you… pick a different brand’ I could relate to that. I had an issue with the latte bubbling up after a minute or so. I changed to a different brand and it fixed the issue.

[@archangabriel]

I love how you teach to purge and wash the steamer every time, no excuses! I hate when people don't do it

[@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters]

I've seen way too many crusty steam wands....

[@AnnaMillen]

My biggest pet peeve amongst my coworkers 🙃

[@LetsGoTinito]

What a clean video! Sound and video quality was amazing

[@aaronwells5080]

Great video guys, nice clear explanation and I like the tip on using washing liquid & water to practice with :)
