Thank you so much for taking the time to make such comprehensive tutorials. I’m new to all of this and I feel like you’ve helped my progress by leaps and bounds in a short amount of time. QUESTION: If my machine won’t let me make the espresso and steam the milk at the same time, which do you think I should make first? I’ve been steaming the milk first and swirling it until the espresso is ready. 🤷🏼‍♀️

the see through glass really helped reconcile your verbal instructions with what's happening.

After watching many milk foam tutorials I'm shocked that you are the only one smart enough to show with glass and water so we can see the wand depth and positioning! That was very helpful.

I've watched about 12 million videos on how to prepare the perfect silky milk. This one is by far the best! It is short and to the point, covering the main points. The glass container makes it a lot easier to understand the position of the steam wand. I'm an instant fan. Thank you.

Seriously the most concise but nuanced take on perfecting milk steaming. Excited to try it out. And can't go wrong with the half way and a quarter dance too lol

If every video you’ve watched was only 30 seconds, you’ve spent 4167 full days watching silky milk videos.

Love the video length it was perfect for someone who has already watched your full video a few times. I would love some refreshers or tips about various traditional latte art shapes like tips for tulips or a video about rippled variants. As always the content is immensely helpful to a home barista. Appreciate your help and knowledge. Cheers Lance!

I genuinely feel this is the strongest video when it comes to a “how to texturize milk” tutorial. Considering there are hundreds on KZread, I would consider that a job well done!

Wow huge praise! Thank you so much! Appreciate the support

Going from stretching to incorporating once milk is body temp is a gem of a tip - this is the thing that let me be consistent with different types of milks, different amounts etc. Much better than trying to time it, or judge by how much volume has increased etc

Absolutely. Timing doesn't help at all from milk to milk. Thanks for your support and kind words!

Watched a lot of your videos. Love em. Good refresher from a decade plus out of the coffee shop. Love your teaching style and I have to say, The clear pitcher with the water injecting water… incredible visual for understanding.

Once again, great video! Seeing the process through the clear glass was a big “aha!” moment. Your videos are the best I’ve seen so far. Well done! 👏🏻

Love the short form video, Lance. Concise and to the point. Excellent!

Thanks Lance for your teaching and coffee knowledge. I rewatched your steaming video and improvement was major!

Got a Breville Infuser last week and this video helped so much! Thank you, Lance for providing such helpful instructions.

such a great refresher! you’re always my first look for tutorials, and whenever i am training baristas, i always teach steaming like you do because you do it best! and before i go to train anyone i always have them watch your vids first :) thanks for making good tutorials so accessible

What would be interesting is a video explaining how the number and size of the holes in the steam tip affect your milk frothing.

Thanks so much for the close up and explanation with water glass. Very clear.

Watched your full length video and loved it and helped me out so much making better and better coffees. But it was amazing to see now what is actually happening in the pitched when you are stretching! Gave me an even better understanding to the art of steaming milk! Thanks lance!

That is such a good video! You are an extremely good tutor!! Many thanks for this - amazed that I have mised it for so long

I am New to your channel and new to the barista world so I have a lot of listening to do!!! I have watched at least 40 videos on milk steaming techniques and this is by far my favorite video. Why? 1- you use glass (see-thru) pitcher! Just Genius! 2- you show different angles to pinpoint exact hand /wand placement 3- you don’t ramble on and on! I’m in love!!! Thank you soooooo much! I can’t wait to try this technique on the espresso machine. Do you have a video on how to make every espresso drink and how best to memorize recipes?

Legend! Worked a treat for me first time… Art needs a lot of work but finally getting there! Thank you 🙏

I love the way you explain every step in detail 🔥👌🏿 your presentation is so enjoyable and i am going to try this tomorrow

Wow thank god i found you, i have wasted alot of time trying to find the art of coffee with peoples tutorials. This was so so helpful. Im now going to lool at the rest of yoir videos and hope i can learn more Thanks for explaining this so well.

I've been binging your videos and I just want to be your friend. :-) The amount of education in a fun way with sound effects is perfect!

Lance, we are ready for some swag “half way and a quarter” “silky milky” “breaking the crust” “spro over”

you have the best demonstration with the clear pitcher. It makes is so easy to see how to angle the wand and the pitcher. I'm still learning, Thank you

I just buy the coffee maker today, and I’m very newbie for this coffee society, but I found your videos are very useful, explain clearly. I really love how you describe and stress out what exactly to do. Anyway, Thank you so much and have a great day. Love it

Yo! You are so much fun to watch, 1/2 way and a quarter!!!!! I've just got a new machine and feel like I'm starting my milk steaming journey all over again. I'm a give this a go in the morning, thanks for the video, great content.

Finally starting to get some good milk texture with my ECM Casa V - this video helped again to keep the basics in mind and what to look/listen for! Thanks a lot

Thanks for your excellent tutorials, Lance! Though I followed your instructions carefully I just got hot oat milk and almost no foam when steaming on my new La Pavoni Cellini Mini. This morning I put the milk jar into the fridge for a while to see if that lower temperature would make a change. It worked wonders! From the first second, I knew that this was the missing variable. The milk slowly rose to a smooth, silky foam to the mug's rim. I couldn't imagine that a small temperature difference could make such a big difference. 🙏

Very nice! Just a quick refresh for the people that watched the previous one, keep this series going!

Your explanation of this has helped me so much. I just got a linea mini a week ago and this has greatly improved having a baseline to start with. Now I just need to get the movements and stretching time down!

Very short sweet n informative. No long story nonsense. Thank u❤

Your video was recommended to me to watch, and I can see why. Very helpful to me, and you explained things really well. Thank you so much.

The clear beaker was great. I had already watched the long one twice. Also, looks like some new ink! Looks good.

Thanks a lot for your video. It helps me to understand how to point the steamer. I shared it to our work group as well. Good job pal 👍.

genuinely the most detailed and understandable videos out there

The view of the difference in the amount of air as you changed the depth of the steam wand is so helpful! I have been struggling with my Breville Infuser and its low pressure steam wand. Now, I want to test the depth with a glass pitcher.

Genuinely one of the best guides. And funny too when you made the injecting air sound I lost it 🤣

So far have been able to make really nice tasting latte's, but haven't mastered the milk quite yet. I am not getting the silky, frothy texture. Only been at it for a couple days but will keep watching until I get this. Love your teaching style, clear and repetitive to drive home the important points.

This is a fantastic way of explanation, very clear, especially using a transparent jug to show the position to inject air. this is the right way to clarify it. Otherwise, it will be hard to know. Thank you so much. It helps me a lot 🥰

This was so visually informative! The glass jug is so good. Im finally grasping stretching and whirling ❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍

Lance, I've become a fangirl of your videos and appreciate all your attention to detail in your videos. As a side note--something you address elsewhere that I'd like to disabuse you of--you never repeat yourself too much. Repetition is what helps us remember! Say things over and over because it's so helpful. Question: do you have a recommendation for a glass steaming pitcher? I teach baristas and it's so helpful to watch the milk steam, but my searching hasn't scrounged up a good clear pitcher. I'd love to know what you use or would recommend.

Bravo 👏. First time I’ve gotten the concept of when to stop the stretch thank you!
