let's all give our love and appreciation to Alfie's new video who has been working very hard over on Zoe's channel to make this year's vlogmas possible 🙏☃🎄❤
Hey Alf! Barista of 8 years here: To get better latte art from the tiny clip i saw, it may be worth frothing it more at the beginning, which is just having the wand higher up and creating more bubbles, before lowering the wand and getting the milk to spin faster and blending in the bubbles. This avoids the high pitch squel when you haven't frothed the milk enough. Then I would suggest to let the milk sit for a few seconds which let's the froth rise to the top and then swirling it back it until you can visibly see the milk looking really silky. Your actual pouring of the milk looked great! Starting higher up and moving faster before slowing down and pouring lower when actually making the art. Hopefully this helps!
Also fellow barista 👋 Was literally going to comment this exact thing! Another tip to see if your milk is latte art ready is to swirl it around in the pitcher and check it’s consistency, you want it to look like wet paint! If it’s looking like wet paint, you’re in for a good pour. I’m SO impressed with this coffee routine Alf!
I know you guys are probably used to getting a lot of views, but how does it feel that you have an audience literally all around the world watching you guys. I'm from the Philippines btw, and I love you both!
Alfie, you're a superstar for all of the editing you're doing! Definitely missed you posting YT videos so welcome back :) I LOVE the fact that you give presents to your delivery people. That is such a wonderful idea!
Alfie can I just say one thing? I loved you before but this year with what you’re doing for Zoe do she can have her vlogmas which she loves so much, made me love you and appreciate you even more. You’re truly an amazing partner and father!!! ❤❤
2:02 have you looked into your toothpaste/mouthwash ingredients? my partner would get ulcers because of sodium lauryl sulfate/SLS in his dental products. When he switched to one’s without that, they stopped. 👍🏽
I absolutely LOVE those hand warmers. I am always cold and I have those warmers in various sizes. Ottie is just so adorable and precious. I love seeing her daily and will miss the daily vlogs. She feels like my niece at this point 🥰
The Christmas lights and market were lovely! The lanterns were a nice touch for keeping little ones busy and happy. Thanks for the explanation of the coffee process. It was interesting.
I’m always so excited when you post your vlogs! I actually started watching your videos back in 2013 (not too sure what year but I was in middle school, about 12-13 years old.) I first found out who Joe was, then Zoe, then you. You all were the RU-vidrs I watched regularly. I still watch you and Zoe whenever you both post. It makes me so happy to see you both grow and explore your lives together! And with little Ottie too! (And Nala, of course!) Sending so much love and holiday cheer from America. ❤🎅🏼🎄
for me it started when i found out about Casey niestat, who mentioned the channel “funforlouis”, than i followed his girlfriend channel “Raya” where she vloged at Zoe’s house, and thats how i found them both.mbeed subscribed for 4-5 years
Thank you so much for all the content over vlogmas! Smashing the edits on Zoe’s channel! Especially the famous “um” mashup 🤣 but to be serious.. I’ve had a rough couple of months & your guys videos bring me so much comfort and joy
Thank you, Alfie, for editing Zoe's vlogmases and uploading videos on your own channel at the same time. It must be challenging, but I really appreciate these videos because firstly, I've been watching your videos for years now. Your videos play a big part in my life and still light up my days. I also really miss watching you make coffee in the morning.
Thank you to both you and Zoe for making the videos and vlogmas happen this year. It brings so much joy to my daily routine and gives me something to look forward to each day!
You’ll never know how much your family vlogs have helped me . I’m so grateful. Plus it’s become a big family thing , we cast on our tv and watch together especially Zoe’s vlogmas. We love yours for the difference in content. On another note my future self collection is growing. Huge fan ❤
Alfie has been working so hard! I have been watching Alfie since I was 12 and now I’m 23 years old, and the content gets better and better. Thank you so much for uploading, I know that you are editing Zoe’s vlogmas and taking care of your own videos and business. Much love Alf ❤️
Absolutely love an Alfie vlog. I also hope he knows we sincerely appreciate his efforts with vlogmas! I’m a long time subscriber to both and enjoy seeing Alfie and Zoe’s individual personalities on both channels. Alfies Christmas vlogs are just as cozy to me as Zoe’s and I’m happy to see him updating as well ❤
Thanks for all the effort you’ve been putting into Zoe’s vlogs this Vlogmas!!!! The fact that you’ve managed to upload your own content too is insane! Great work 😊
Thank you so much for editing Zoe’s vlogs this Christmas ❤ it’s always six a joy to have both of your videos to look forward to everyday during this time of year
I appreciated the coffee run-down a lot!! I am an enthusiast of the drink myself (more like an addict oops) but too shy to ever ask someone for the tutorial of how they run their machines, so, thank you SO much! and also im glad you still had the energy for your own upload, it's rather different from vlogmas and i love both☃
Hello Alfie, I tried for my ulcer, frankincense oil, it will heal very fast and calm the pain. Put a drop on your finger and apply on the ulcer. It is years since the ulcers never came back. Hope will work for you too. Have a nice day🙂
Ulcer: try and rub some peppermint essential oil (not a blend) rub directly on the ulcer and it works a treat, I rub it on as many times a day as I need and before I brush my teeth and it really helps xx
Best thing I have ever done to prevent ulcers/cancer sores!!!!! If I get one it doesn’t last as long or get a big one or have multiple at once!! B6, folic acid, and change toothpaste to Sensodyne.
Alfie, the ulcers and Zoe's coldsores are always at the same time, it could be due to passing the virus back and forth since they are from the same type virus, and her body metabolizes the virus different.
Your coffee set up is fancier than a one in a coffee shop. I am a big coffee lover as well, using my trusted Gaggia Pro! Getting better at late art as well but its not my day everyday hahha
Your vlogs have something very special about them. I can’t put my finger on it - but i absolutely love them! Cheers, Alfie, have the best time leading up to Christmas 🎄
I really enjoyed watching you make the espresso and how you explained everything! I would love to do it, but find it a bit intimidating. You made it look so easy though! I'd love to watch more coffee making content ☺
Loved that you explained how you made the coffee, I always wondered. Now, how do you clean the coffee machine? 😳 I love your vlogs, you have such a beautiful family. Also, thanks for editing Zoe’s vlogs! Zoes vlogmas videos this year has been my fav vlogmas of all!
i loved the coffee/espresso walkthrough alfie! Ive just started my own at-home setup and still figuring out the whole process so it was good to see how you've been doing it
Position the end of the milk wand closer to the top of your milk and see if you can make your milk spin. It will be a lot smoother, easier to pour latte art and less noisy! Big love for committing to vlogmas and your own channel for us all❤
Alfie!! I suffer from mouth ulcers too and found the best thing is ‘bonjela plus’ you get it off Amazon and it puts a coating over your ulcer so you can eat and talk! And then the kids teething liquid ‘anbesol’ Hope it helps!!! ☺️
