How I make my morning Cafe Latte. I have been making espresso at home for more than 10 years, but I have only been trying to learn how to make Cafe Latte ART for the last month or so. My "art" is still very crude, but slowly by slowly I am improving...and it still tastes great, so it's just fun trying. :-)

Because in everything I do, I only listen to the coolest music, this video is dedicated to THE SILENT ALARM and Shelley Harland.
Check out the song "Afraid" over here:

    The main thing for getting great art is practise, and in order to do that you've got to want to learn which by the looks of it you do. Good luck! :)

    P.S. I make coffee videos every friday, check 'em out :)

  • Nice home set up, I'm not sure which Giotto you have but it is a similar machine to mine.. I have been doing latte art for about a year now and trust me it's a very addictive skill to learn.

    my tips: when you're texturing your milk, I would keep the jug in one place and let the steam move the milk around in a whirlpool, this is the technique for the best milk.

    With your art, instead of making drastic movements with your hand, pour at a consistent speed slowly wiggling - let the milk -
