Latte Art Pour on a GS/3

[nathanbeckrules]

Brilliant. Intelligentsia is MINDBLOWING and amazing at what they do. Not only is the art good but the coffee tastes phenomenal (which is most important)

[infamousmonster]

Wow, that's a freakin bowl...

[aaaapaapt]

espresso is under extracted

[nonesuchone]

That's the nicest rosetta you've ever seen. <-(period)

[happyju0]

SUPER PERFECT!

[nutritiousacne99]

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

[DavidBarista]

So much coffee bitching on here, it's insane.

The guy in this video is a barista champion, he knows his stuff. If you look at the video date you will see its from 2006. Since then there have been so many advances in the way we make coffee and all these tiny things we do like tapping the portafilter. We are learning these things all the time.

[rcdrvrrc7]

I love how everyone here bitches and moans cause they are jealous of the guy in the vid who is a USBC champion btw. All this dude does all day is test machines, choose what roasts and beans for a large coffee chain to purchase, pull shots, and sample beans from different farmers. I'm pretty sure its obvious which one of the people knows what hes doing, and its not the 12 year old youtube viewer who "could bitch about aspects of your shot" LOL

[DH405okc]

While I could be an armchair barista and bitch about aspects of your shot, the result looks very solid and that's all that matters. Results. Nice pour, great-looking coffee.

[makkakman]

not so bad... but you tap the head... with the tamp... very bad... write a private message to me Kyle Glanville ill maybe help you to get better shots... but you did a good one there

[malekoyon]

Perfect rosetta, simply perfect in my opinion

[AlteriorID]

Don't tap the head, ESPECIALLY with the tamp. Smacking it like that can crack the cake. Also, don't twist the tamp when in the head. It shifts the cake and that can easily put it off-center or make it uneven. Nice effing pour though.

[goldennight]

looks like a penis

[WillStanton]

@goldennight

If you're going from your own reference, yours must be pretty deformed

[goldennight]

@WillStanton i'm a girl, sweetie. 

[WillStanton]

Then you mustn't get around much if that's what you think a penis looks like ;)

[goldennight]

@WillStanton i'm an artist. abstract art and all, makes it look a little bit like a penis. im not saying it is the epitome of a phallus.

[WillStanton]

@goldennight

I'm a realist. You need to get out more.

[StarbucksTool]

@goldennight i work at starbucks and we don't have the right pitchers to do this with, but i'm totally going to start putting dicks in people's coffee.

[markpianoman]

Beautiful - Perfect! I wish I could get a properly frothed milked on my Rancilio Silvia!

[panhead88]

please have a look at my rosetta! not as good as this, but its in slow mo!

[CoffeeCupNews]

love the sound in video and the art was beauty. I to do latte art videos but have never done it myself. short and sweet, good job!

[dannnyku]

oo delicious looking crema

[leoc5]

perfect

[uncleBob337]

The best latte art I've ever seen

[swstiglich]

watch soem more videos lol

[uncleBob337]

I did! Still the best one...

[swstiglich]

well then your retarded

[uncleBob337]

You misspelled some and you're

Just saying...

[swstiglich]

you're blind

just saying...

[nanrmz]

Amazing!!! :D

[mandolincreek]

nice job! I guess you don't need us to tell you that huh? Do you own a coffee shop?

[rhythmicwing]

wtf

[codate]

yeah! This is crazy! (btw: why did anyone give this guy a thumbs down?)

[SuperdestructveSheep]

That's really cool.

Makes me wish my place was more laid back.

[apera0915]

I doubt this place is laid back...

I saw some documentary (not a bad little movie btw) where kyle glanville is talking and being the douchiest douche in the hipster doucebag kingdom.

looks like good coffee, but what a douche!

[BENBASIL]

dude fuck all you coffee snob pussies, once you win the usbc and get a gs3 for FREE because you are so good, then you can critisize

[hazd]

I'm with you BENBASIL! looks fine to me anyway, I WISH my art was a quarter as good as this.

[Urbino237]

@BENBASIL Watch your language - grow up!

[hollowmenrule]

beautiful, yes i can see the complaints about denseness(is that a word?) anyhoo, i'd be getting laid like a rock star if i was pouring em like that. i need a new pitcher where i work, so i'm buying one myself, then i'll see how much better i do. that being said, that was a beautiful pour.

[wrybread]

This is the most beautiful video I've ever seen on youtube. Blows the camera on the sushi boat away.

[Kabana93]

perfect! ; )

[starkiezuk]

that was the best ive seen so far!

[maninthefear]

may i have 1 latte !please!

[ihearcalling]

you should work on your shots, you had some wicked channelling going on. also, try to move the crema witht he milk before you rstart your shake, it helps it stay intact longer.

[BATCH420]

NICE!!!!! one of the best ones i've seen IMO.

[packpassenger]

the froth is thin for either latte or capacinno, indeed the rosette is well formed. Milk texturing is there, I think if he left the steam pump for 2 more second it would make the froth denser.

[grokker]

sounds like you've got a steam pump in your head that makes your brain denser

[54spiritedwill54]

his machine is soo cool!

[gabrules2003]

not good

[golfpark94]

i've tried but i'm not this good (see me on "biltse duinen") thank you i can start to practice again

[RottenTreat]

Only Fuckin Pussies drink that shit

[snoopyflick]

PAST THE MORNING

[TheSarahJade]

you make it look so easy :(

[apranax48]

bi tarafı doyuruyor

[kazama423]

出神入化~!!!!

[luongdung]

thats a really perfect latte art right there

[astronush]

who said good tamping? your shot gets channeled when you tap you portafilter your coffee gets channeled... try the north-south-east-west technique wish consists on slightly tamping the four corners of you coffee\portafilter, then tamping it at last with 3\4 of your weight on ...clean the around it and pour!

[gman0788]

This man knows what he is talking about! That is how Counter Culture trains...

[jules10109]

Man! You coffee artists have an amazing technique! :) If only I could do that....I guess I'll have to settle for just drinking esppresso's in the mean time. lol

[wvfo]

Good tamping, Good extraction, Good latte art!!!

[mayaoo]

gimme gimme gimmee!!!!!!

[daryan44]

this coffee however, is very near perfect, i'm not disputing that yet i'm just offering a couple of opinions that might suggest why that initial running of the shot is a little quick (i would like you to show me a gs/3 that starts to slow down after the oils in the coffee begin to extract).

although, as you said "it DOES NOT get much better than that...."

[kelpbucket]

pretty sure your meant to tap the group handel to get out pockets of air so i dont know what you're on about, the extraction looked nice, thick, like honey mmmm...

[gman0788]

actually, tapping the group head creates the channels for air, causing uneven distribution during the brewing process. Sometimes it wont effect the shot... most of the time it will causing some parts to be either over or under extracted.

[daryan44]

lastly, no matter how good a coffee might look - even if it is latte art - it is coffee. i know that sounds pretentious but its the truth.

[bnz500]

That's the stupidest thing iv ever heard... Coffee is very unique in that usually if it looks good it will taste good...

[bnz500]

No i dont, Do you? I should have explaned better, I only ment the shot, not coffee with milk...

[daryan44]

(anyway, tapping the group is not such an issue, it's just "I" think it's a little too hard in this video - additionally, repolishing will not solve the problem as the coffee has already been tamped and thus has already taken its shape.)

[daryan44]

Now, the fact that i have owned a gs/3 and am continuously open to new techniques is reason enough to say that it is just a comment on tapping the group.

[daryan44]

elwoodo0oo,

i think u r taking this the wrong way.

when baristas r producing coffee at this level, everything chould be pretty well perfect.

[daryan44]

OK but...

extraction is a little quick.

furthermore, tapping the group with

the tamper can crack the seal of the

loaded shot (could be a contributor to

the fast extraction).

However, that was a pretty choice rosetta.

[elwoodo0oo]

OK but...

1. The video does not show the entire extraction, so how in the world would you know that it was too fast?

2. AFTER he tapped the 'group' he tamped and polished again....

3. This video is about the pour, not the extraction....and sorry...it DOES NOT get much better than that....

But I guess, as ususal, some people have to find something to bitch at... even if there is nothing there.

[ohbillygreat]

nice editing, great pour. short and succinct video.. a+

[Pinkfire2314]

It's cool,it's uniqe

[SpikeJonze]

Quick question...on Espresso making

How thick is a well made espresso supposed to be?

Because I keep hearing that a 'good' espresso is thick, but the problem is, I'm not really sure what 'thick' is...

Is it supposed to be maple-syrup thick, peanut butter thick, or fudge thick? Or a combination of watery/syrup like thick?

[kidsclub123]

his machine is soo cool! must be chao ex.

[sharpanator]

latte art is nice but i would consider latte art more like a coffee with milk instead of a cappuccino.

[CafeSuave]

nice... its easy in a large cup like that. Here in Aus our cap cups are smaller and its harder to achieve such a nice spread like that. I hear coffee in the UK is shit, yaa lets all go over there and show em how its done! lol

[Sporkman165]

thats a beautiful machine, the tamper and the portafilter match perfectly.

[absinthegrey]

Wow, that looks so good

[ThePuggler]

When is the La Marzocco GS3 supposed to ship here in the states?

[UCLbiochemistry]

marvellous!

[petemcdonagh]

lovely pour! and nice machine!

[akhna1]

good work!

[cam205]

Looks great man, think the shot is a little fast though!!

[inuyashafangirl1]

overdramatic? WTF?? Now THERE is latte art.

[dseng]

That's just leetness right there

[Jeffreyaburgess]

love this art.....just like that taught at the SBA in Seattle

[drumlordd]

thats an amazing pour...AMAZING

[S1Vivaldi2]

Now that's a ROSETTA!

[RastagirlPeace]

waw excellent ! respect!

[TheChinglish]

excellent pour. excellent camera use too.

[patrpat]

really really nice, a little overdramatic though.

[gunfightalaska]

hey pat. I think this is the Intelligentsia in CA where Ryan left us to go.... Some of the shots here look like some of the pictures he put up on flickr.... especially that black and white floor....

[patrpat]

Really really nice, a bit overdramatic though.

[perrys69]

Very nice

[zihyer]

Incredible!

[bbaker90]

DAamn!!! beastly!

[Jasonian]

Very nice!
