Gail Does Latte 'Art'

Look, we don't front. People ask us about latte art all the time and it's not really our forte. But Gail likes a challenge, so we did a few takes until she...kinda got it right.

To somewhat help me with my measurements, I "marked" the inside of my pitcher with an ice pick half an inch below the bottom of the spout. Now, my procedure is to simply pour milk to that mark and stretch it until I reach the bottom of the spout. As long as I follow that rule, all it takes are a few knocks and swirls for me to get wet paint. :)

havent read the comments but to make some better coffee art you would start pouring from one end and slowly wiggle the jug towards the other end. then finish it off with the pour straight through back to the other side for that fern look. or you can tilt the cup and do what your doing on the side and the force of the milk stirs the coffee around so you dont have to move the jug

Hi from sunny Australia, I love you guys, you make me smile. Having just purchased the Rancilio 3, I have found your tips so helpful, now making perfect coffee and microfoam, a little tip of my own, milk with a high protein count and low fat gives superb microfoam, gotta watch the calories now that I am addicted to the coffee that this machine pulls.Will pop into visit if I am passing thru!!!!!
