    Sometimes I get sad because when you do your latte art "improperly and wrong" it looks better than mine. *Back to practicing* once again a great video. Keep being you and doing what you do!

    When pouring art into notNeutral Lino single cappuccino cups (5 oz), I often blow out (flatten) the bottom of my art. I've always assumed it was because the cup isn't a perfect circle-because it doesn't happen with my other cups. I now realize that although the cup shape is part of the issue, starting higher may help a lot. Great video.

    The push forward has been an aha moment for me, great tip! Would love to see an advanced milk steaming video that goes into the more nuanced/micro aspects. It's one of the things I'm really struggling to nail down, especially since my steam wand heats up my milk fairly quickly.

    • @LanceHedrick
      @LanceHedrick  Před 2 lety +4

      Have you watched my long form video? That's literally all I do. I don't think overcomplicating it is super helpful.
      Getting the position right and practicing control of the stretching is all it is! You got this! Takes baristas anywhere from a week to a couple of months on bar to nail sometimes.

    • @tylerhilligoss
      @tylerhilligoss Před 2 lety +2

      @@LanceHedrick I have and it was incredibly helpful! I find myself getting bubbles that are hard to tap out but I do occasionally get some good steams. A couple things that have helped me have been looking at how the milk sticks to the side wall during swirls as well as the sound changes (the latter you mentioned but didn't go into the details).
      Perhaps a video similar to this where you talk about mistakes you see people make as they learn how to steam or good ways to identify what you need to change when you see certain indications of poorly steamed milk.
      Either way, keep up the great content it has been absolutely indispensable!

    These are terrific videos across the board! Lighting, long unedited commentary, delivery, etc... really shine through. I plan to step up my home brewing game from drip coffee. Affiliate links to the simple equipment you use in the videos would help me. Even if it comes off as hawking equipment to some, I would like to know the cups,tempers,etc.
    One thing I haven't found on YT yet... manual grinder versus electric. Is the disparity vast? Work flow is of little concern to me, but I wonder *how* the results differ. Basically, the limitation of manual grinders. I'm looking at picking up the 1zpresso jx-max as my first *real* grinder. I like the idea of a manual grinder, but would it be a sunken cost?

  • @TomsCoffeeCorner
    @TomsCoffeeCorner Před 2 lety +2

    Hey Lance, I think pouring the art is something that will come with practice, but the skill is really in getting the texture perfect. Also, no one has talked about the importance of the espresso you're pouring into as a canvas. Isn't this quite important to the fluid dynamics of it all, also? My espresso often doesn't look as ready to be painted as does yours or Emily's, so there must be something to that as well. Perhaps an idea for a future video.

    • @LanceHedrick
      @LanceHedrick  Před 2 lety

    your instructions are so detail compared to a lot of coffee videos I have watched the past 5 years.. you actually point out the do's and don't's and take time to pour the incorrect ways as you understand that us who have no training but to rely on watching youtube do commit such errors. very thankful i found your videos last year and still I can't pour the ripple effects as smooth as yours.. could be my milk is too thick as I always made 2 cups of latte at one go :P. is it harder to pour latte art on a double walled glasses than the cup that you use in your videos?

      Steeper cups are definitely more difficult! And if doing two at once, you need to ensure you split the milk post steaming with the method I show in my multiple drink video.
