I miss being in cafes with strangers, seeing life, where we all just co exist. One laughing on a phone call, one responding to emails, several gathered over lost time, seeing cafe regulars in and out, exchanging warm smiles with baristas........
i thought I was the only one who did that with their pinky when they steamed milk HA!. Australian Specialty Coffee Association will you be uploading the other participants videos or just the winners?
I don't understand why the world don't get to the great art latte coffee it's great coffee I always enjoy to have coffee latte 3 times a day it's the opportunity for people to create on busineses to make great coffee we need that in our street
Keep practicing and you'll soon get there. Lower the tip of the steam arm just under the surface and open the steam valve at the same time. The force of the steam will pull the milk down and suck air from the surface. When i started out with using a panarilllo steam wand with the hole.... i blocked the hole up and found this helped at the time. You don't need expensive equipment to stretch milk to a creamy consistency.
You can even steam the milk with very basic mechanic frother from IKEA for about 1 USD/1 EUR. The principle remains the same: keeping the milk swirling. There are excellent videos covering this on RU-vid and even when using this "alternative" (instead a professional steam wand) it takes tens if not hundreds of cappuccinos of practice. :-)
Who is there at the stage to think about how’s the best way to control foam for making 2 cup of coffee from same medium size milk jug? (Splitting the milk) Any help sharing some experience?
You have to inject air as soon as you start frothing then just slowly move up your pitcher and make it spin until you reach the right temperature. Make sure the tip of the wand is at the bottom of the pitcher before turning the steam off as it will create bigger and sticky bubbles when you turn the steam off and the tip of the wand is in the level where the foam is.
