Thanks to everyone's advice last weekend, I've been able to get my milk foam much closer to what it should be for latte art. It turned out that I had way too much foam, which is delicious and I love it, but I was never going to get art with it.
Now come the practice rounds.
☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!
Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!
Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.
I got it down by putting the wand in the correct place. Too low and it's just hot milk. Too high and it's a cappuccino
It's in between that makes a latte
I've noticed that I can put the wand in far enough to heat the milk, then once it's near the temp I want, I move it to just under the surface to get the amount of foam I want.
I do the opposite, I get the foam first, then I make a "milk tornado" to mix the foam with the wand deeper in and the container turned a little to the side
