Lance Hedrick you do very well, Iv had your basics vid on repeat and it helped (in my spare time I do the whole food colouring and soapy water thing)
It is near unbelievable how many of Lance's videos I write, "This is the best video I have ever watched on the topic." After years of watching 100+ hours on latte art I still cannot make anything not resembling the dairy version of The Blob. One video - a single Lance video - I've made my wife smile with latte art. You are the best coffee teacher Lance. Hands Down!
Very interesting. It’s funny how when you try to make mistakes, you still get a design that is much better than i can get when i try to make a good design.
I know many viewers would've said this before and would keep on saying it in future, but Lance, I've just got to say it to you now. Been watching so many latte art videos but never practical... till now. Yours is the best way of guidance so far, just like having a personal trainer right beside, pointing out mistakes and correcting as one struggles to practice. A great instructor, for students know when they're improving. A great video, a great job!

This is the best latte art video I’ve seen! You are the best! I used to work in cafes for a short time and I got my first coffee machine last week, it is a good home use machine but still very different to a commercial used one, means more difficult for beginners like me! I just couldn’t find out what is the reason my latte art is not getting right, now I think I find the answer! Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
Fantastic video!! You are a wonderful teacher.

You’re amazing Lance. Thanks so much for these. Can’t wait for the next video. Have you done any videos on how to stop channeling? Just got a new naked portafilter and have noticed my espresso is spraying and sometimes channeling.
@Lbradham123
2 жыл бұрын
I know I’m not lance but just thought I’d offer a few tips that helped me! 1. What’s the age of your beans? I started getting really bad channeling starting around 21 days from roasting date and didn’t know why til I did a bunch of research. I’ve found that 5-17 days from roast date is kind of the sweet spot for pulling espresso shots. 2. How even is your tamp? Filming yourself tamping and watching back can help a lot with ensuring an even tamp. 3. Don’t knock your tamper after tamping! I used to do this to get coffee off the sides of the portafilter, but I stopped after I found that this can cause tiny cracks in the tamp and lead to channeling. Honestly, addressing these three things alone dramatically reduced my channeling woes :) good luck, happy tamping!

For the most part, and excuse my stupid use of the imperial system, but 12oz pitcher for 5oz-8oz, 20oz pitcher for 10oz-16oz. For cortados, I like the bb 10oz pitcher

This whole time i couldn't figure out why my initial pour wasn't flowing but just piling up. i tried for weeks to make ripples but if there is no flow, no ripples form. i thought I might be pouring to slow but then speed it up and the cup is full before im done. literally your first tip on mistakes was exactly what i was experiencing. Im always afraid i never add enough air but i think i have been adding too mucn (7seconds of airating) and we always have left over milk in the pitcher that we have to re use later. I seperate the foam after its set but the milk is hot past the point of airating. This explains everything. Less is more! Thank you for your time and efforts into helping us improve
