This is a great video. Not only about coffee and latte art but how to coach someone in a new skill and in a short amount of time. Excellent process, guidance, support and feedback! Great work Josh! (and Freya(?))
Thanks, great advice, I've now discovered as a beginner because I'm taking too long in getting the wand and everything else positioned, I end up foaming hot milk. and this now explains the dry and bubbly foam I'm creating. Thank you, out of the thousands on 'how to steam' videos on YT you're the only person to explain this important step, thank you for your expertise, appreciated.
These are exactly the tips I needed to clear the confusion. Thank you so much!!!
This has been the most helpful tutorial I've seen! Thanks so much, it's greatly appreciated!🙂
Your videos are always the best, thank you for another great tutorial!
This was the most thorough and detailed video that I’ve seen, thank you!
i dont know anything about coffee or being a barista, I find it to be an art form on itself and its beautiful. Im here to learn. Thanks So Much
These tips really made steaming milk click for me after many months of attempts 🤟
Top advice mate- comprehensive and shows your knowledge and attention to detail
This is fascinating. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow morning, thank you.
I just got my first machine today, and after watching a few other videos I found you have extra tips that are useful, especially the one about practising with dish soap! When I saw your other videos pop up at the end I decided to subscribe as I think I will really benefit from them and get the most out of my machine; thank you 😊
Thank you!! As I was watching you I wondered how I was going to port this on my breville bambino. And then bam! You actually tested it on a bambino! Thanks!
Great description and sample....big thanks
You saved my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!
This is all for beginners. Thank you so much
your explanation are simple and very good for a beginner. short and compact with all important info. would like to see more video from you to guide me becoming a full total professional barista.
Great video! Specially the tips for a smaller machine were very useful! Thanks.
After watching 2/3 of this video, I just made the best steamed milk I've ever made. By far. Thanks!!!!
Wow, thank you! I've seen so many videos already, this is the one that helped me! Subscribed!
Great video! I would like to have heard the actual steaming noises as the the nozzle tip moves…. may be a good indicator of what’s happening. Just a thought.
Youre too good to explain,it’s easy to learn from your video❤
your scene of entire process of steam milk will help me much more than anything else i saw in the internet... i mean, people told how to do each part of process, but not show without cuts from beginning to ending the entire process, I already gor each step in my mind, but i really though that i should do it in a way that is totally more complex... because they tell first make air comes into the milk then start the vortex, but both steps are actually one in your case, and not a separeted step, what makes a huge difference, for sure is clear when each part acts on your video, but not in the others due to cuts that make it looks as a whole different timming for each step... i will try with water make the steamming process when i not want some milk a head, but for sure i will use milk because hot milk into coffee is better than cold milk... and mostly important i have a home machine that shred beans into pownder and has steam wand all in one, but is not good as comercial ones, anyway the machine is fine to do really tasty coffee, i could make really nice expresso, the tip i mostly undersmate is the fresh roasted beans, i bought i single package of to thest against one sit for some weeks and makes my mind blow, how different both are, now i just pick beans and use the amount i need to use in a few days, each week buy a new pack will be much more tasty than get a big one, or a bunch of the shelfs and get all into a good expresso coffee but without the max potential LOL Still learning and loving the expresso art
Helpful video! I was doing pretty well with my Capresso EC Pro and then I decided to clean the tip. I didn't realize how restricted it became over time. Restoration of much steam power turned me into a steaming newbie again and the milk has been too bubbly. I'll try to put the tip further into the milk from the start and I'm confident I'll get better results.
Took a while to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about! Thanks.
This is pretty good! I've been getting much better at my art but still inconsistent between jugs, particularly as I alternate between milk and almond in my house. Quickly picked up that I am rushing to inject air and creating large bubbles early. a few moments to establish the spin before injecting air is all the tip that I needed.

Thanks for the video. Lots of practice needed. At this stage, I end up with a massive foam, like if I had added too much detergent to the washing machine. The family still likes the coffees, though.

Just 1-2 seconds or air should be all!! Raise your jug the moment that has happened and stop stretching the milk and concentrate on having a really nice smooth spin all the way to temperature should limit how much foam you're making :D

I've just bought a Bambino Plus - after 5 years with a Barista Express (which died). But I find the steam power WAY too much to silk up about 125-130ml of milk for a flat white (or my version of one...). Have you been successful at that kind of milk volume? I've been successful with 160-170ml - but that's too milky for me
Thanks for the video! I love coffee with milk, but I found it extremely difficult to make. I will do my best to practice... 😍
If you do have a smaller unit like the Bambino but it has adequate pressure that you won't reduce its Effectiveness by adding more holes, I've seen a lot of people using the Bambino plus steam tip that has four holes to replace the one whole Bambino steam tip, reporting good results. One of the reasons I ended up getting a Bambino plus was because it was supposed to be quite a bit better at steaming so the cost to replace the tip kind of helped reduce the price differential along with the solenoid valve that makes for less wet pucks and the larger water tank for Convenience... Also prettier colors haha
Really good points. Thank you
I appreciate the info about the plant milk!

Just wonderful
Really helpful video
Thank you for this!
Thank you! To practice with detergent water is a great tip! Not only is the whole process transparent and easier to observe, now I don't have to end up drinking a big jug of foamy milk! However, the viscosity is a little bit different between the two liquids, so it's not really exactly the same in terms of the timing and swirling depth, but at least it got me up to speed. Like I said, not having to drink so much foamy milk is a big YES. 😂😂
How can you do this vid without showing the sound of the steaming.

Thanks for such a helpful video. You showed a consumer grade coffee machine with a steam wand but what about one having a panarello wand? Do you think we can achieve results with a panarello wand too? I have the Philips 3200 series in case you're curious.
Thanks !
i m french i m not very well in english but i understand what yousay and now i steam milk correctly with my delonghi thx

Pour a small amount of steamed milk in a mug then sprinkle some chocolate, give it a swirl and it’s basically the same as a coffee shot
Another thing to consider is the holes in the steam wand tip. After changing from a 4 hole tip to one with 3 holes we had way more success.
Really nice ecplained friend
Very nice video
immeditly i subscribed ur channel❤️❤️ really amazing explanation and easy way. thank u😊 my greetings from Palestine🇵🇸
I found that the bambino is better for beginners. The whole process being slower allows for easy and gentle air incorporation. Not only that, but it allows more room for error since the folding process is inherently longer so you can smooth out stray air bubbles. My profitec is MUCH faster at frothing milk, but it's much less forgiving.
Thnx !
Thanks you❤

Secret of making a NICE ESPRESSO. (I am having a Breville - The Barista Pro Coffee Machine. I am using a DOUBLE FILTER for one cup coffee. Hence I hope you will experience the same effect when making a cup of coffee) When making a espresso, you must notice the coffee dripping out of the filter. They (coffee dripping) have summarily 3 distinct colors of changing stages. They (coffee dripping) are: (1) Black dark color .... VERY BITTER (2) Golden color ..... NO BITTER (3) Light yellow color ..... WATERY If you like BITTER, then get (1) and (2) above. If you want NO BITTER at all, try to get (2) ONLY.... This is the BEST TASTE at all. So, when you see this LIGHT YELLOW COLOR ==> PRESS "TURN OFF" YOUR COFFEE DRIPPING! DON'T EVER GET (3), because it is too WATERY, meaning too much water added to your coffee is no good. Hence, too much milk into your ESPRESSO also give you not a nice taste, as you also feel TOO WATERY.
Here in Quebec Canada, there are two major players in commercial dairies. One of them os Lactalis. The milk from this brand is almost impossible to get the correct texture. The equal in Natrel is working fine. But i prefer some smaller dairies that have tastier products.

Noted, so Natrel will be better?
two questions please how i can get more cream to do art latte? and second if the steam have so many bublues what means need more time doing steaming? or is so much time steaming?
Few questions: how does lactose free milk compare? When you put the tip below the surface, do you lower the jug as the milk rises to keep it just below the surface or leave at the original position?
@sebastianwhitestone7504

It shouldn't matter if it's lactose free, foam and texture is based on proteins and fat, not sugar as far as I'm aware.
I've got a Breville (well, Sage in the UK) Barista Express, so seeing this done on a Bambino was perfect, thank you!

@SevenMilesCoffeeRoasters

as in no latte art? If that's the case then getting closer and pouring slower -> gently will let the milk art form on the top, pouring higher/faster will cause it to plunge beneath the surface of your canvas/crema. If you're taking too long between steaming to the pour, then the error is that milk has often split :) quick mix between two jugs nice and fast will remix all the milk texture and you'll be able to have another go with the same milk :)
I find that although many barristers get the silky smooth foam right. They too often then not serve up cold milk!
