What kind of coffee machine is this? Model etc..

[@luiscruzfritsch9552]

I don't know why the froth doesn't come thick on mine. I guess I put the wand in too deep and for far too long.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

You're welcome and thank you for the wonderful comment!

[@isabelydancer00]

The cappuccino almmost look like a latte here. Cappuccino is more foamy on the top. I'm not even talking 'dry' cappuccino which is pretty mmuch just foam. Having said that, I think this is the best video tutorial for basic latte art - heart, rosetta, tulip. A lot of videos I've seen shot have a terrible angle. This one shows pretty clearly how to pour the shots! I really like how he does the 'macchiato'!!! I think as a hobbyist - he is doing alright!!! Thank you. I amm still a new barista and I found this very helpful!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Thanks for your comment! Happy to hear you found it useful. Think the overall trend is for a cappuccino to be a little wetter than they used to be. A lot of people will try a flat white and prefer it to a cappuccino.

[@isabelydancer00]

I like cappuccino but not sooo dry that it is all foamm! Regular black coffee is my choice but every now & then I choose a latté just to see what kind of art the barista comes up with. =)

[@dannl24]

can you help me? so the cappuccino is just a longer frothing compared to latte?

[@frankfranklyn2562]

@@dannl24 I make cappucino by doing similar to how it's shown here. But ... After the initial start of the wand using the tip, I begin to lower it a bit at a time rather than go all the way down after initial steaming. This way I get a milk that is topped with thicker milk, whilst as it lowers it's filled with micro-bubbles until you reach the desired temperature. What I get, every time, is a Cappucino that is creamy all the way through to the top, leaving the thicker, denser head to sink as you drink; I don't think there is anything worse than a Cappucino that is topped with froth, whilst underneath it's no different to the sensations of drinking the average 'milky coffee'; Cappucinno should be better than that. In very much that way, the ratio is one-third coffee, one-third textured milk and one-third froth. ~F~

Haha yeah... consistency in the hard bit... I've done some epic looking latte art, but repeating it is a whole different ball game. I've had to whisk away some designs... the symmetry makes it far too easy to draw dicks and vaginas with striking realism. Mushroom clouds are also pretty easy, although my manager at work had an epic sense of humor failure over the best one I ever did. To be fair, it was the day after one of the North Korean missile tests, but it looked amazing, reminded me of the colour photos of the Castle Romeo nuclear test.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi CC, Thanks for the comment!

[@adzurko]

I've been told not to out the porta filter on the group head until you're ready to pull the espresso. I was told it can heat up the coffee thus changing the taste of the espresso. But for the purposes of having both ready at the same time this seems pretty good.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi A, When not in use the portafilter should be kept in the group. This keeps the PF warm and is part of providing a stable brew temp. When ready to brew remove PF from group, fill with ground coffee and perform the espresso extraction right away.

Here in Australia a Flat White, Latte and Cappuccino vary differently. A Flat White is served in a cup or a mug with milk and a thin layer of foam on top (hence why it's flat and white). A Latte is served in a latte glass and has 2 centimetres of foam on top. A Cappuccino is served with chocolate on top (or throughout for the art).

Great video! We bought a Gaggia Brera from Whole Latte Love (great customer service!), and it is awesome. But I have attempted and failed a Rosetta every day since June 1, 2015 (no joke). This video is probably the best that I've found, and tells me (I think) that I have been steaming the milk incorrectly this whole latte time. We don't get the spinning whirlpool effect that your video shows. I've been steaming with the wand slightly off-center. Tomorrow morning, I will try tilting the wand against the side of the pitcher while steaming, as you did--and see if results improve. Keep up the great work.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

+Sal DeTraglia Hi Sal, Thanks for your comment! Unless you have modified the Brera keep in mind you are frothing with an auto-frothing panarello wand. In this video Todd is frothing with a manual wand. With the auto-frothing wand you still want to get the air in early and then find a spot that creates a good swirl after burying the air intake hole on the wand below the surface of the milk. Here's a video with some tips on better frothing with an auto-frothing wand: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHrFZoSCfsaYgpI

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi HA, Happy to help!

[@mel_sj]

The steamer pressure of the coffee machine im using is different from the one in the video, so it takes a shorter time to steam the milk. Quite challenging to make different times of drinks sometimes

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Sim, What machine are you using? Did not understand if you were saying you have more or less pressure.

[@mel_sj]

Whole Latte Love I think it has greater pressure, so the milk steams pretty quickly.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Sim Melanie Wow, the Expobar Brewtus Dual boiler used in the video has loads of steam power. Still curious what machine you are using?

[@boba___]

Wow! Are you using your car exhaust to steam the milk? JK, but that must be a seriously powerful machine.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Mohab S. Todd is using the Expobar Brewtus IV. It's a dual boiler machine - so a dedicated boiler just for the steam. It does have some serious steaming power!

Hi Bob, Thanks for the kind comment!

[@glenn7422]

Thank you for this very informative video which I found very useful! I also have a question (for the latte) when I keep my milk in the steam nozzle for the amount of time you did, the can itself gets so hot that i can barely touch it ( and have to grab the handle of it ) - so how can you hold it for so long considering your machine has much more power? I am asking about the temperature because in another video you said that the milk shouldn’t get too hot ?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Rudi, You are welcome for the video and thank you for the question. For best flavor, milk gains its most apparent sweetnes due to heating at a temperature of 60-65C or 140-150F. I would pay no attention to the time it takes to froth. Perhaps our milk started colder or we were frothing a larger quantity. In my experience milk has reached about 60C/140F when the outside of the pitcher is just starting to get a little uncomfortable to hold due to heating. You should definitely never go to the point of barely being able to touch unless you like scalded milk. :)

Awesome video :) I make many drinks a day working at a place called Sheetz. I can never seem to separate the steamed milk (is this actually called froth?) from the foam. When I pour like you do, too much foam goes in at once. I can successfully hold back the foam from the milk if I use a spoon, not freehand. Any advice?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Mac, Thanks for the comment and question! Sounds like too much air is getting into your milk when frothing and/or it's not getting mixed enough to break up larger air bubbles. A lot depends on the type of machine you are using. Do you know if it is a manual or autofrothing steam wand you are working with? Respond with machine/wand type and I'll be happy to give more specific advice!

[@macjhimes]

Whole Latte Love it's manual. Is it possible that it's just something that will take time? I feel like it may be my pouring technique but I'm honestly not sure

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Mac, Could be pouring technique. That takes some practice to master. But you do need to start with milk frothed right. There should be no larger bubbles on the surface of the milk. Shouldn't have to use a spoon to hold anything back when pouring. What you want is milk that has a shiny surface - like wet latex paint when done frothing. It should be a uniform consistency thru the pitcher. Getting there is all about tip position relative to the surface of the milk when frothing. And that is based on the steam power of your particular machine. If getting large bubbles your tip probably needs to be a little lower into the milk when frothing. Also find a position for the wand that causes the milk to roll in the pitcher. That'll help break up any larger bubbles and create a uniform density top to bottom.

Hi there. Well I usually use 15-20 sec to make a perfect frothing. It doesn't use espresso machine. I use the manual froth. The milk is just silk and if you shake it a lil bit, the texture looks heavy and like a wall-paint. Hope it's helpful.

do tap the container how he tapped at 4:51

Here is one of my cappuccinos that turned out better than the last one I posted. facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=873097529405267&set=a.326272340754458.68440.100001150847055&type=3&theater

Todd, your videos are really excellent - some of the best coffee instructional videos on KZbin. Please - more!

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Gareth, Thanks for the comment. We are always making more videos. What topics are you interested in? Currently have more that 1,300 videos on our channel.

[@GarethDaviesUK]

Whole Latte Love It's a pleasure to watch your videos. There's not one video where I don't learn at least a few genuinely useful things that I didn't know. In this video, the suggestion to use the milk jug spout as a guide is brilliant - it makes a huge difference to the quality and texture of the milk. I hadn't seen this helpful tip elsewhere. Thank you.

[@kalashnikov7183]

i always had a hard time making foam :(

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Kalash, What kind of machine are you using?

[@mesfinbelay8134]

Very nice and helpful demo. This is the kill I need to learn for my newly purchased cappuccino machine.

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi MB, Thank your for the comment - happy to help!

[@anetmcclintock4945]

Correction: A flat white is the same quantity as a cappuccino, but with no froth. If you can make latte art on your flat white, then there's too much froth. Use a spoon to make sure you get just milk and no micro-foam with your flat white.

[@coops3600]

Anet McClintock No one does flat whites with no froth at all.

[@catlover-fp5ig]

A flat white should have a very thin foam cap (only a few mm thick) so that it can be easily carried while full (otherwise it will spill everywhere).

[@watchouch]

The truth is many latte artists froth milk with the froth somewhere between a latte and a flatwhite to make a good texture and the arts come out more clean and good contrast. And I always froth my flat white to the point that I could still draw something simple like tulip or rosetta

[@t-thedj-t-wanda4083]

Flat needs or should have shiny micro foam,not froath,the moment you touch the rim of the cup you suppose to meet the taste of the coffee and milk asap..

[@nrb5852]

Good video, i was showed different on the cappuccino tho, i was taught that latte milk needs to be poured out the spout, and cappuccino milk to be poured from the side of the jug, i think they both work well

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi Nathan, Thanks for your comment. There are many different techniques for pouring. We typically pour both a latte and a capp from the spout.

you watch these videos when your mom doesn't let you in Starbucks .-.

[@sarwat9940]

Thank you for this ,it was such a good explanation even better than the barista explanation themselves .

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Hi sT, You are welcome and thank you for taking the time to comment!

[@fro0tyl0opy87]

The problem with doing this, it really hurts my ears due to the very high pitched sound. Suppose I could always wear ear muffs?

[@Wholelattelovepage]

Sure.

[@Shiyuru999]

fro0tyl0opy87 If the streamer is creating a high-pitched sound, you are doing it wrong! Make the milk-can tilt a bit, and make the milk spinn. Don't place the steamer to close to the can. ;)
