How to Free Pour a Cafe Latte

[91odIn]

nice vid but the spoon to the right side of the cup! :D

[MSAL1C3]

Why, oh-why, Mr. Super Ultimate Barista would you tap on the counter as an example to novice baristas???!!!!!

[murrrrrray]

Surely that's a flat white not a latte!?

[hugecookiemonster]

@murrrrrray A Flat White would be in a smaller cup and would also have a bit less foam on top.

[propyable]

there used to be that the a rule of thump that you can steam milk correctly by holding the base of the jug and stoping steaming just before it gets too hot to touch.. 

[barcaboy0102]

Their lighting friends in this video stuff up just saying

[OzBoomBap86]

id love to drink one of his coffees. shit yeh man looks good . im doing a berista cource fuck it... i wanna be a mad coffee maker.

[ruage]

@ashfactor .. the shot is too slow?? I thought it was coming out fast and thin.. Why do you say too slow?

[trefethenstudios]

Doesn't leveling the extra coffee grounds back into the dosser introduce stale coffee during the next pull?

[ruage]

@trefethenstudios seemed it was conflicting with his using fresh coffee. If its coffee after coffee and he's not filled his grinder than it probably doesnt matter as it takes a few minutes for the ground to go bad.

How is it impossible to correctly make a latte without a thermometer? once you do it for thousands of hours, you know how long it takes to correctly steam the milk, just like anything it becomes second nature...

[godforgotten77]

Haha....U look so nervous

[M3GASQUID]

All the negative comments worked at Starbucks, so they clearly know how to make a latte the RIGHT way. How do you make a latte without a thermometer?!?!?!?

IMPOSSIBLE

[masteroftheobvious86]

Latte served in a ceramic cup? Is this an American thing, or are us Australians just crazy and serve in a glass?

[BettyBoopBoots]

WOW I love how EVERYONE who's commenting here is a coffee EXPERT! What a coincidence - they all congregate on the HOW-TO coffee videos!

;)

[laukio]

I don't understand something, do we need to do a double shot or a single shot of espresso for a Latte? I see everytime people using double shot for a Latte?? Maybe to have a nice Art?? What's the real Latte?

Thanks guys

[2BAsh1]

@laukio It depends on the size of the cup, the bigger the cup size the more shots of espresso :)

[laukio]

@2BAsh1 because when I was in Melbourne, I did some Barista Courses and they just told me to poor a double shot if the customers ask for a strong Latte. But maybe the size was regular;-)!

[VoltaireEffect]

Love your video's! Thanks so much for taking the time to do this.

[MrDrumsdrumsdrums]

Great Great videos!

[catluver9112]

that you so much for posting this a lot of coffee experts put up videos on separate sections but this showed me the steps in a concise video. thank you!

[psychotichealth11]

I can't live a day with my cup of coffee! I got some good blend tips at coffeeloverstipsandtricks (.) com

[benjaminpott]

I have a nespro that froths and brews for me, and then all I have to do is ad the two (it's really simple)...

the problem I have is that when I add the milk to the coffee, the crem on the top always breaks. Also for some reason there is never enough froth to make a rosetta... anyone know how to fix this?

[Lewis7070]

@benjaminpott Froth and extract yourself, a machine isn't going to do it as well as you could..

[ohsuperstar]

omgosh, I wish I could judge how hot the milk is by my hand rather than using a thermometer!

[olliemad]

tea spoon !

[shuyye]

Great tutorials, really helpful.

[ashfactor101]

I love all the people who comment on these clips and say, you did this wrong, you did that wrong etc. These people usually have no idea "he isn't using a thermometer and and that shot is too slow," where I imagine the guy in the video does have a clue, considering he has competed internationally in latte art. I couldn't really fault anything he did, there are a few things I would do differently, but I appreciate that there are many ways, and coffee techniques are forever changing.

[jimmie6709]

@ashfactor101 Exactly there is more than one way to bake a cake, and there is more than one way to make an espresso coffee, in the end you still get a cake, and in the end you still get a great looking and tasting coffee :D

[utarian7]

did he just use a double shot? if so, why?

[MrPaolobonetto]

this is a cappuccino...not caffe latte

[technogoddess]

@MrPaolobonetto There's not enough foam to be a cappuccino.

[MrPaolobonetto]

@technogoddess that's right...but in italy the caffe latte is generally served in bigger cup,(often in long dirik glasses)...that's the reason of my..mistake! sorry for my bad english..

[snedie69er]

A good tip for those who want a warm/hot cup but don't have a heater. Just use the steam wand, blow steam into the cup intill its as hot as you want it and then dry with a towel

[tubester358]

So...to make a good latte and steamed milk, you need that gigantic machine? That doesn't really help

[greenman123]

I'd hate to be this man's waiter. I'd probably drop that saucer.

[anampaiseanta]

Now I know my problem. My machine doesnt have those sweet lighting effects!! Its funny how you dont know what you dont know until you know.

[isisdj29]

Thermometers can be off, calibration can be off. Its much more consistent to go without. There is an art to learning how hot the milk is by touch on the inside of your hand and when it reaches 140, youll be able to tell. It takes practice.

[pp4187]

a) what the hell is wrong with your grinder? it doesnt have a tamper on it, you had to press it like 20 times :S

b) the cups should allready be preheated on top of the coffee machine.

c) no thermometer.

apart from that... good i guess.

[fredshoehead]

@pp4187 there's nothing wrong with his grinder. he just did a manual tamping. he doesn't have the grinder with automatic tamping. and no thermometer is a good thing. you should be able to gauge the temperature with your hand. as soon as the pitcher is too hot to touch with your bare hand, continue steaming for two seconds and then shut it off. using thermometers is a pain because you have to re-calibrate them ever so often.

[nectarluv85]

you should be using a thermomater! Otherwise you might make it too hot or too cold.

[tronictitan]

my milk frother froths milk like detergent!!

[pdxtommy]

I dont like the google add

[1Barista1]

I was lovin every technique right up to the point when you didn't purge the staem wand. I go nuts tryin to get all my baristas to purge every time.

[Igloo53]

he purged it at 1:59?

[1Barista1]

Meaning....Purge before the wand goes into the milk to blow out the condensed water that always resides on the inside of the pipe. Not doing so introduces unnecessary water to the drink, unusally pretty funky tasting water. Yes, he did purge afterwards.

[Igloo53]

gotcha

[jhonston666]

Does it make you want to Flip Out ?

[dinochickforever]

Thanks for posting!
