  • Did you really leave your shot sitting for more than 5 minutes?

  • @dlygrind Yes. I REALLY did. Didn't you watch the video? Now lets hear about how terrible I am. :)

    p.s. I don't usually do that. Espresso is made last.

  • @shurik6, Hey buddy I didn't mean to come across like one of [italics]thooose[italics] espresso people. It's all good, and I appreciate the obvious effort you've put into this. But if it was something you did every time, I had considered humbly offering you a tip. It's crazy how much I've relied on help from tutorial videos to progress with microfoam!

    Will keep an eye out for more of your vids.

  • @dlygrind No worries mate. I had some fool give me some crap about it before. I had to make it clear that this is a milk frothing video only. I hope this helped you. This vid was done totally impromptu. I don't really plan on making any more videos. But I do answer quite a bit of questions via messages and comments.

  • nice milk, could you please tell me how to make the perfect positon of steamwand while doing milk, please? will it be okay if the steamwand touches the pictcher? or it should only be in the milk? I think if steamwand touches the pitcher, the pitcher is going to be hotter soon. Please let me know I am struggling to be a good barista in future :)

  • in my opinion I don't think it matters all that much. It's what ever you get used to. The only thing is that you want the steam wand in at an angle so it spins the milk in the pitcher. This helps to get consistent texture throughout.

  • Your dog is very excited about this steamed milk! LOL =P

  • @tinbiscuite See my Rancilio 101 video for tems. They are all in F not C.

  • how many oz/ of milk do you add to the 12 oz. pitcher? at what temperature would u stop stretching for cappuccino and at what temp for texturing for capp?

  • looks like a 20 oz. pitcher in the video. my 10 oz. pitcher doesn't have a funnel spout just a small lip. so where did u get your pitcher?
