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!

This comment is a year old. I bet OP is much better at it now ☕

I love how your "bad pours" are still 10x better than my best ones!!! LOL

The way you handle these full cups of coffee makes me SO NERVOUS watching your videos! I always feel like they’re going to spill all over the place! thanks for the good tips! Very useful

Your enthusiasm about the onion and pushing forward. I love it!

Absolutely loved this video. This helped me improve my pour skill with lots of room to explore now. You have a gift for teaching! 👍

Probably the most useful and insightful video on latte art. Been at it for 9 months but never came close to being happy or satisfied. First time after this video and viola!!!!

Big fan of this guy and his dorky, if I may, sense of humor. He explains really well.

weird to watch so many videos and sometimes it's just two words to fix what no video so far has explained. Move Forward! This looks like the answer to my biggest brick wall trying to improve my art. Thank you!

Too good ! The 2nd tip is more apparant on cups with a flat base. I love your latte art videos, watching a pro at work

So relatable, I am going to use this on bar tomorrow!! This is so helpful for me at my job. Thanks Lance so much!🔥

Gotta say your long latte art video helped me so much. 8 years with a Prosumer machine and only recently thanks to you I've got it a lot better! Big props to you bud 😍

absolutely I enjoyed the video ! this video is the best information how to improve your latte art in the KZread . Thank you Lance.

Started about a month to learn the Barista rol and doing some training on a Coffee shop while is not sooo full of ppl. With the 30min vid and this, i learned more Latte art than my teachers explained to me. Thanks a lot!! PS: They teached me so well how to work with the machines. They are not bad, this is different.

This helped me a lot! Thank you Lance!

Can't believe I missed this one when it came out. Super useful, thanks!

Thanks so much for taking the time Lance to put these videos out ,ive only just found you on here and have learnt more in one day then years of other videos on here also please can we have more beatboxing :)

You make it look so easy!

Great videos, Lance. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips , Lance !

I haven't seen anyone else show what you did in this video. I understand more now. Thanks!

excellent demo Lance!

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.

You’re a true artist my friend!

Thank you! Looks better already

Really appreciate these videos. Thank you!

Thanks for the tips Lance! You inspire me to try to improve from my “garlic bulbs” to something intentional…

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.

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.

@@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!

Love this channel!

Recently discovered you channel. Subbed. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to make these very practical and useful videos. Still working on perfecting milk texture for latte art, though. I only have a manual espresso press (Flair 58) and the Namo Foamer by Subminimal. I'd be tickled pink if I could eventually pull off the most basic of latte art... the heart 🤍☕️

Hi Lance, awesome video and really clarifies a lot of what I think I'm doing wrong. One question I have is about sizing. Everytime I do a double shot into an 8oz cup, I feel like I don't have much to work with after laying the base. Are these the correct measurements, or is it purely about just practising?

First shot…. looks amazing 😂😂

your awesome. Thanks for the great tips. To the point and entertaining! Thanks!

The pushing forward tip wow, my hearts look exactly like the one where you didn’t push forward 😂 now i gotta try it the proper way. I also definitely pour from a bit too high. My milk has improved with practice and i think is decent but I’ll have to check out your ultimate guide for more tips to get it perfect !

It is great if you have a good coffee machine but . . . most people watching on here want to try it at home. Yes, I know you will frown uppon people using a french press etc. but I ( and thousands of others ) just want to present latte art at home. Without a machine. It doesn't have to be top quality like yours but just any tips from you Lance would be most helpful. If someone has already got access to a coffee house machine, then they are already halfway there and probably got access to tuition in Latte art anyway at their work.

I get the feeling, from your tone, that you have strong feelings about latte art. (I love it!)

now THATS a Video I needed! I'd say that I'm a pretty decent Barista but those are some tips to step up your game. THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Greeting from Germany and don't forget.. NO ONIONS!

Hi Lance, great videos as always! Does the size of milk container and steam tip matter for foam volume/integration? I'm currently using a 2 cup glass Pyrex. The milk comes out with little foam layer and not mixed into the liquid. -Using Rancilio Pro X -2 Cup pyrex starting with 3/4 cup whole milk Cheers!

Love this, it helps me with some issues I'm having. My latte art is constantly blowing out on the bottom, which is super frustrating.

Great video! I will follow your advises! One thing i am not able to do well is the pouring the milk at the beginning to create the beautiful "canvas" for latte art. My canvas comes always in shades of brown/whites.. Do you have a video on how to fix that? What am I doing wrong?

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?

Great video.

Lance, I need some help on one thing. How do I fill the entire cup with the design? Do I tilt the cup more or tilt it less?

Great video! Your videos often have a way of dialing in (pun intended) on the the things that others often leave out. One question I do have, is how important is the cup you pour into? Are there any things you do differently when pouring into one of your latte cups vs a less ideally shaped vessel?

Steeper the cup, harder the art. For steep cups, fill more before starting your design. And tilt aggressively, pouring quickly

Do you have recommendations for bigger pitcher? I do have that same exact pitcher (and I love it), but I want a much bigger one for "big" lattes.

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?
