[TheHorseCarer]

ODD TITTLE

[nonb11]

''Kinda Hearty'' :P

[frypod18]

For some reason, I can get a good froth and the milk looks wonderful, but I can't seem to pour it properly. I've also noticed that it's much harder to pour a design if the espresso is mixed with a flavor first. What am I doing wrong?

[StarbucksTool]

i'm a right handed person, but i make drinks left handed. for some reason i pour with my left hand and manipulate the spoon (if i'm using one) with my right. I tried doing some latte art at work today with my right hand and it failed all over the place. i work at starbucks (I know, trust me, i know) and no one has ever taught me how to make good foam. i've had to teach myself and on the rare occasion when i get it right, i get it REALLY right. help?

[NathanrDyck]

@StarbucksTool thats disgusting. get a job at a real coffee shop

[8645440]

Juz look at the crema makes me want to drink it O.o

[jrizzleinnit1]

you suck

[therealFranzpan]

"Its kinda hearty" LMAO

That looked great



[rustOfunk]

Ha! That's crazy. I wouldn't even drink that. I'd put my cheek on it and fall asleep until it dried up. Then say, "that's a birthmark" if anyone asked about it. But seriously, kickass free pour. And your milk looked SICK! (In the good way, of course.) Care to share your technique? How high do you stretch it and to what temp? What temp do you stop heating it after plunging? Love how effortlessly you make it look!

[ciolamorta]

Looks like an onion :D

[Iansexy89]

i can do it !!!!! ;p

[BladeZnRoseZ]

i wish i can do that.

[spencexxx]

We wish you can English.

[lobisal]

"after you get in nice and close you have to lift back up 'cause you wanna suck"

lol

[kgoduti]

You're pouring too fast or you're not forcing enough air into the milk to make froth. Make sure you're steaming and frothing at the same time and not just steaming. There's a difference. Steaming creates a lot of noise like a jet taking off. If you froth correctly you should really only hear the steam and air going into the milk at first.

[TheChinglish]

who is this comment intended for?

[kgoduti]

My apologies, apparently the site glitched when I submitted this comment. This was intended for a comment made by zeeet who stated: "...when i pour my milk it never sits ontop of the crema it just makes the expresso turn a lighter color..." I don't know why it commented on the video rather than their comment. Sorry.

[panhead88]

@TheChinglish i think it was to the person pouring the heart.

dont know what kgoduti is on about, that milk was perfect.

[aarossell]

@TheChinglish Himself apparently. Beautiful work, btw

[olstar18]

@TheChinglish The voices in his head, who else.

[TrulyUniqueOne]

@kgoduti fag

[Schredhead]

@TrulyUniqueOne stfu dipshit either post a video response with something better or stay sitting on your thumb in your room posting hateful things to people who have a bit of skill

[RandomEurasian]

@kgoduti lol, I'm pretty sure this guy knows how to froth milk seeing as it looks like a beautiful velvety consistency that and you don't learn how to pour like this overnight.

[CoryPonzo]

Espresso, Im about to go get my zing on any second, With out Espresso I would never get anything done.

[aboutron]

owwh kainda! :)

[priestpilot]

I try doing stuff like that...you make it look so easy!

[fmatt25]

okay but kinda poured too fast, and the froth was a bit immobile, but i guess you let it sit for a while so i don't blame you for that. i could imagine it looking a lot nicer had you poured it straight away, oh well. i'm sure you poured better, hence the 'kinda hearty' hahaha.

[hochsr]

that heart is picture perfect. im a bartender who does coffee to a reasonable level but with a shitty vittoria coffee machine and grinder, something wrong with the pressure, fixed the grind though. but still not enough crema. really hard to do latte art with. does brand of milk also make a difference? i would consider myself a novice on this but worthy enough of getting a job as a coffee maker in a cafe. any tips?

[SammyBoi992]

Howed u get so much crema?

[zeeet]

i was wondering the same thing.

when i pour my milk it never sits ontop of the crema it just makes the expresso turn a lighter color..

[wizzygirl]

"kinda hearty!" (that was cute) :o)

btw, thanks - that was awesome!

[dorsiflector]

dude that's awesome!

[yourmomsbutler]

that is incredible :)

[Hakuryu91]

omgosh! so pretty! :D

[YayitsRuthayy]

cool! it looks so pretty!

[ceriess]

Are you using whole milk? Does it make a difference if I try to do this with 1 percent milk? Also, is it a prerequisite to have a curved bottom cup to do latté art, or can it actually be done in a regular mug? Thanks for your answers!

[tamegomaith93]

It's easier to do with low-fat-milk, but you get much better results with whole milk, so its good to use something in between... or something... how did that go again..? oh well. To get a really good crema, which is the base of latte art, you need a curved bottom cup, to allow for the espresso to set in a special way, making a nice and durable crema :)

[TapperJones]

Probably the best heart pour I've ever seen. Nice work.

[golfpark94]

you gave me a great tip and some months to practice.....thanks !

[ckydavies]

That is criminally good, you absolute bastard.

[sarahwolfgirl]

hey, i'm a barista and i work in England

[StripteaseOfTheDead]

It's a cute video. But we don't have a barista in England. So. Hm.

[Kujo209]

Wow, he makes it look so simple.

[awesomesmb]

i can do that,i can make a butterfly,a heart shape,a crying face,a flower,but unfortunately i dont have the camera to record and upload it,i have only the pix taken on my mobile,,,it takes two months for me to learn and make it perfect...

[adrito70]

PERFECTO!!!

[akhna1]

Buddy.. WELL DONE!

[devanilla]

nice heart!

[f45566]

WTF!.. i've been a barista now for 3 months.. i dunno about that stuffs yet!.. it looks like im starting to love my job now.. thanks guys!..

[fw23q]

can't call yourself a barista if you've only worked with coffee for 3 months. at least 12 months experience man....in italy people can only be called a barista after 3-4 YEARS

[f45566]

oh.. thanks for the info.. so what would be my job description then?...

[fw23q]

i'm not too sure now..people have been telling me heaps of different stuff..but i always referred myself to a coffee maker to customers who ask about my experience. hope this helps

[winforwon]

amen...been working with coffee for over a year now in a roasting espresso bar and still only call myself a knowledgeable coffee guy. Barista's have the experience and knowledge of bean quality, roast profiles, extraction profiles, temp regulation and its effect etc etc etc...there is much to know and a barista is one who can look at coffee, taste it and knows how to improve it and fine tune its flavour profile.

[ohbillygreat]

2 months after my girlfriend posted a comment here, i still have trouble finding a better heart pour than this. it is easily as pleasant to look at as any of the australian champs' hearts.

[cjoe94]

hhhhmmmm....coffee

[xXxMoonShadowsxXx]

That must take along time to perfect. thank you for the excellent explanation.

[cansu888]

I've never really been a huge fan of the sucking heart; it turns out so messy and clumpy most of hte time. But this one actually looks decent. Well done.

[TheChinglish]

why thank you :)

[sandflyfever]

you make it look so easy

[redefyne]

thanks for that excellent explanation!

[mtcmm]

Thanks for this I will practice!!
