- čas přidán 28. 05. 2024
- Like brewing espresso, steaming milk is not something you'll nail from the start. It'll take some knowledge, passion/interest, and lots of practice. I'm still working on getting consistent, but I wanted to finally create a video on steaming milk because so many of you have been asking me to! I hope you find this video helpful or, at the least, fun to watch. Thank you all for your support! I'm excited to create more coffee content moving forward 😊

Ok seriously, I've watched many an espresso video from the serious expert practitioners on youtube who are great. That said...you figure it out like we all would hope to do...step by step, trial and error, and deliver a great presentation that is humble, practical and delivers results! Boom. Well Done
Is it weird to to say watching your videos brought me to tears? Your level of creativity is mind blowing. You have such a natural way of explaining complicated processes so easily. And you do it with some of the best quality video I’ve ever seen.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much!! I'm so flattered 💕🙏🏼
Man I’ve watched a lot of milk texturing videos from professional Baristas and this was particularly well done, particularly with the nuances of the Breville. Great production quality as well. 👌
Thank you so much 🙏🏼 I really appreciate it and am happy to hear my experiences and tips were helpful!
You were saying you are not a coffee professional but after watching your video I don't believe it. Not only perfect coffee but perfect video too. The quality of your video is excellent 👍🏼😉
Aww thank you so much!! I really appreciate the support and kind words 🥰
I was struggling with this until I watched your video! Made my first latte art!! Thank you!!!
Every time I regress in my milk texturing, I come back to this video. For whatever reason, I get complacent, and my texturing capabilities drop off about ever 3 weeks, so a refresher is nice. So, thank you for sharing in such a high-quality way!
Methodical, clear, detailed, pleasure to watch, and above all helpful. Well done! Thank you.
Thank you for this! Very thorough and easy to follow! A troubleshooting section?! Outstanding!
Thank you for this. Been working on getting that perfect texture for a while now. Looking forward to trying out your tips!
I love how descriptive your videos are. Thank you so much for sharing!
This whole time I’ve been following others’ directions perfectly with not great results, but I think the tip to move quickly after purging is what finally did it, thank you!
Ah yes that was an important note I made sure to share! And I'm happy it helped you 🙏🏼 Thank you for watching!
Thank you for being very thorough and detailed with sharing this experience!
Just got my Barista Pro Touch and am intimidated on all things espresso. Your videos are amazing and helpful! It is also refreshing to see someone take so much pride in their work with quality production quality and detail.
I’ll be purging your videos to understand what the hell I am doing.
This was great to watch! Thank you for sharing!
Outstanding tutorial! Thank you!
Love your precise explanations. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thanks so much! I'm glad you found it helpful 😊
I just bought a barista pro. Your tutorials saved me! It made my setup experience so much easier. Thank you for making these videos.
this was super helpful. watched this video twice and immediately tried it out. wow. turned out so good!!!
This was so helpful, thanks for sharing. Trying to learn how to make latte art but I can never get the milk right. I feel like your explanation gives me easy to follow steps, and I'm excited to try it again. Thank you!!
Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words! I really hope my tips help you out 😊
Excellent video!!! So helpful! Thank you!
everything you explained was the correct and perfect way. Good job . thank you

Thanks for watching!!
Yourv ideos are superb, in part due to so much easy to understand detail.
Your channel is unique in this and I greatly appreciate it.
I've studied dozens of milk-steaming videos, but this one answered all my questions -- and it is so beautifully done. Looking forward to my next latte!
You are the best in explaning. Easy to understand. Now I am encouraged to do latte art again. Thank you!
it was best video about latte art i have ever seen. Thank you
This video was so helpful. Thank you!
you are my hero! i’ve watched dozens of these types of videos and this is by far the best explanation. thank you ❤
Well Done! Very informative!
Very well explained. Thanks.
Amazing video! So amazing that I considered for 3 second to buy your coffee machine!
I am exploring every move and detail of your video realizing your enhanced level (to my hobby barista level) but thereby able to see and spot many of your coffee battles and learnings you gained over the time in talking and showing the little details that professional baristas wouldn’t even touch or mention in their videos! Keep going!
I am so glad I found your video!!! This was so down to earth and truly a quality teaching video!! Thank you so much for making this video!!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it 😊🙏🏼
Thank you for the great video! It was very informative, detailed, and helpful.
This was a brilliant way of explaining how this works. Best one so far for me! Thanks!
Thank you so much for watching!
Seriously great. Thank you
Very informative and to the point, thank you ... Keep it up
Love it
Helpful ❤
wow just came across your videos and impressed the way you shoot and describe things in details is so insightful and informative. Not like pro barista which sometimes explaining something difficult to be more difficult but you make it clam and easy. Love your vids a lot!
Got my Barista pro a couple days ago and stumbled across this video just before bedtime. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow. Thanks for the Tips!
Great video! Thank you.
Awesome video for the steaming milk process, that is the best and most complete one i have ever seen, and i have watched heaps of them. i am into it big time, and on top of that, coffee dose not keep me awake at night. keep up the good work.
I just surprise after hearing your English . Mashallah it’s very nice ❤
This is super helpful, thanks! (Just got an Express) Also, been watching your coffee playlist and your videos and voice are so relaxing. If that was the intent, then it's working.
thank you so much for the support! 🙂
Thank you for an excellent video and tutorial. It was very informative and easy to follow. Thanks again!
Really happy to have helped!
Great job 👏🏼 enjoyed this informative video throughly! I like that you aren’t a barista pro makes it more relatable for us novices 😊
This is one of the best videos I've seen for steaming milk. Thanks!
Thank you so much, I'm happy to hear that!
Love This!!! Thank You!
This is one of the best milk texturing videos that I’ve watched!! It was really helpful knowing why you shouldn’t position the wand in the centre, the trouble shooting tips, why you should swirl the milk around etc. thanks so much 😊
Thank you so much! I'm happy to hear that my details and tips were helpful for you!
Awesome video. I'll have this video up on our large screen TV when I'm attempting my first few steams after my Espresso machine arrives tomorrow. Thanks again for the great video.
You are the very best at explaining in such easy and understanding way that is enjoyable to watch. The camera is always showing what you are explaining which helps a lot. Great work. Keep it going!!
Thanks so much, Neil! I really appreciate it 🙏🏼
great video Leena, keep it up 👌🏾👌🏾
thank you so much!
This videos are great. I think the only thing is looking at the level of the milk rises based off the air and different drinks have different levels (foam) so flat white least amount of air, latte in the middle with foam and cappuccino the most foam and highest level of rise after initial steaming
Can't wait to try it tonorrow...thanks for the tips 😊
After this excellent video (I got an espresso machine in Jan and more or less scoured the internet for all the info lol), I must request for one on pouring latte art please!
Great explanation!! Very helpful
I made my first half-way decent design because of this video, after watching like 20 other videos and flailing around a lot. I think I had not been heating the milk hot enough because I'd had so many over-heated lattes. The specific tip about the Breville was helpful too. Thanks!
Absolute magic. Thank you for the step by step tutorial. I actually use a Moka pot for my cappuccino and a milk frother. I find the froth from using the milk frother is too fine. Maybe I ‘ve left it too long but generally the consistency is acceptable.
Omg Im so happy CZcams recommend you ! Hijabi that loves food and coffee! A dream friend ! 🥰
Very helpful for us beginners. I love your content.
Thank you so much! I'm so happy to hear that 🙂
Love you!
Yes helpful needed information for a beginner like me starting from the start ,
Thanx
I'm happy to hear that! Good luck and enjoy!!
Thank you so much this was so well put together explained and videoed so so helpful
thank you so much for watching and supporting!
Nice tutorial! I learned a lot. Keep doing what you're doing for the love of coffee❤️ Thank you! Huge help from a beginner like me😊
Thank you so much! I'm happy to help!
Your review on the Breville Barista Pro is what convinced me to get one, your video on dialing it in helped me dial in my machine. Made my first drink with steamed milk while it was good I instantly wanted to learn how to steam the milk better. I went to your channel first because the way you explain things is very easy to follow. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to exploring it to see what other videos you have coffee related and not coffee related!
Wow thank you so much! I'm so happy you're enjoying your machine and that my videos are helping you along in your journey!
Just want to say I really enjoy watching your videos, I have the same machine as you. and am still learning how to get better at latte art and espresso knowledges. Please continue to share videos like this with us !!!!
Working at Starbucks and getting my first espresso machine for Christmas. This video is really helpful.
eeeek how exciting!! congrats in advance on the new machine! 🥹
It's already been said, but geez you are so good at teaching! I'm hooked ❤️. How do you manage to explain things better than world barista champions? You have a gift.
I always watch videos, and have been watching them for years now. But I have never subscribed to any of them. This is the first chanel I subscribed to. You're a great teacher.
Over the last few days I had a lot of issues getting a the microfoam at a point where I deemed that it was steam wand issue. After watching this video I now understand the science behind microfoam and that helped me fix my issues after following the technique you described here. The mistake that i was making was that i was burning the milk since i like coffeee hot and in that process ruining the whole microfoam creation process.I use the 30 degrees angle technique along with the instinct to judge the hotness of the mug to get a good microfoam.Also since I am using the same mug as you I am able to get the right amount of milk as you described and i see that gives me a lot of room to practice my latte art. Thank you for the detailed explanation and looking forward to more videos from you. Keep up with the good work !!
Wish a had a teacher like you back in my student days😂. Great work! I've ordered a barista pro too, can't wait to start using it
Thanks so much!!
Great video, great captions and great editing. Now I want to upgrade to the Barista Pro. Thanks for sharing your video.
thanks so much for watching!! 🙂
Thank you for a detailed explanation!! :))
Yo.. You are literally the best at this, seriously! I've watched everyone in the CZcams espresso community your tutorials are the best.. I really like Lance Hedrick but he's now number 2 in my book.. I just purchased the Bambino and the breville smart grinder about a month ago so I'm a newbie for sure. This espresso/coffee journey has been super dope.. Glad I found your channel..Keep on sis.
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼 I really, really appreciate the support! I'm happy to be of assistance 🙂 Congrats on the new setup! Tag me in your coffee posts on IG!
I have watched 30+ videos on how to properly steam milk with my new Breville machine and your video is by far the most helpful and descriptive. I cannot wait to try what I’ve learned in this video. THANK YOU!
Ahhh this comment made me feel so happy and proud! Thank you for watching and commenting, and I hope you enjoy your espresso/milk drinks!! 😊
I’ve been practicing what I learned from this video and FINALLY was able to make latte art!!! I cannot tell you how excited I am! Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom! 😊
@@jessc108 🎉 WOOOOHHH! I'm so happy to hear that, and I know how exciting it is when you notice your own progress!! Thank you for your support 🙏🏼🥹
Probably the best Breville milk steaming video I've watched, thank you. The only additional thing I would have liked to see is you steaming milk from beginning to end, no music, no commentary, no editing etc. Just as an example after all the guidance.
Just made my firat latte today, and it went great!!! No art but it was absolutely delicious, sweet and with a nice round coffee flavour.
so happy to have helped! 😊
Very sympathetic voice and good explanation of the process 👍👍😊
Wow this is such a good tutorial. I wish i saw it a couple months ago. Theres such a difference between steaming on a dual boiler and a single boiler. You do such a great job explaining how to steam milk using the machine that, lets be real, most people actually have.
I did use a thermometer for about a week and that helped me get a feel for temperature.
Thank you so much!! A big reason I wanted to share my experience/tips is exactly what you mentioned--many tutorials demo on a dual boiler or machines that are much more powerful than the more common Breville machines. The thermometer's very useful to get a better gauge of actual temp vs. feel in your own hand!! Thank you so much for watching and for your feedback!
Hello and salaam thank you for the informative video, I'm practicing my coffee machine. So thank you and have a nice day.
Thanks for the very informative video on steaming milk for cappuccino.
The best videos iv seen showing how to froth your milk, & iv seen a lit of videos
Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!!
Thank you from a serial failure!!! I'll try your tips. You explained them so well. Blessings.
Oh man the production quality of these videos is amazing. And your voice is like the perfect soothing “documentary” voice. And your attention to detail/obsession with tedious things such as espresso making is on par with mine 😂 I have the bambino paired with a 1zpresso JX pro hand grinder and I pulled a decent shot on my second try tonight thanks to all your videos! Thank you!! Also ps: is milk steaming always SO loud?! Would love a real time vid of you doing it without background music. Love 💛
I like that handle on the steam knob, I'm going to have to get me one of those.
Very detailed Video..
And I like ur Voice ❤
Very helpful tutorial. Clear voice.. hope i pass my barista class
Love your videos! This is really helpful. I just got this machine a week ago and your videos have been helping me. Thank you ☺️
Thanks so much Yahaira!! I'm so happy to hear that my videos are helpful for you 😊 congrats on the new machine!!
Thank you
Jazakumullah hu khaira
that 'salam aleikum' got me real smilin
Great 👍
This worked amazing! I finally have art!!! :D
Your videos are amazing, the best ones I have seen. Thank you for doing this. I am seriously considering purchasing the Breville Pro . Now that you have had it for awhile, what is your thoughts on it.? Do you still love it and was it very hard to learn to use?
Thank you so much! Yes I do still enjoy it very much and no it wasn't too hard for me to learn on (see: my how to dial in video)! The only thing I wish it had was a dual thermoblock (like a dual boiler but still the quick startup time) so that I could brew and steam at the same time haha but other than that I'm very happy with it! Highly recommend!
I wish I have that purging knob in my Breville espresso machine. I guess I have to figure out if I can purge by just pressing the button for manual start and stop button. We’ll see and thanks for this video. I want my latte pretty. More practice for me and I hope I don’t waste a lot of milk to practice. 😂
15:05🤯I've been having the Bambino plus for months and didn't now once you purge the steam wand, if you do it quickly then there will be no water and it will be just steam
VaAleykum Assalam! You have really great content, thank you for sharing!
ooh I love to listen to you, I will also buy this machine myself, have seen all your videos I am convinced with these techniques I will be able to brew so many coffees, thank you for these lessons, I will definitely do one thing subscribe to you channel and save the videos
Absolutely perfect. Surprised that she is not even a barista
Alaykum Assalam mashallah great job great work great filming 🎉
I love all your videos Leena! Thank you for this information.
Thank you so much, and for watching my content! I'll be sure to keep going 🙂
Awesome video, I am hoping that I will be able to also get that perfect milk foam one day ;-) (Completely random at the moment). How long approximately is that first airing phase with the Breville? (Maybe I am doing this too long as I usually get very much foam but not in this shiny silky quality)
