i thought it was like how people joke about unmaking their custom art like taking the cake apart and lifting the frosting off the cake with a special tool😂😂😂😂
Still an amazing waste detractor, unless you dislike hot chocolate, the steps taken still leave an end product that's drinkable and didn't require wasting upwards of 20+ coffees for the less skilled. Still a W
this is the most helpful video ever. there's coffee flooding my house currently, it's almost up to the 2nd floor! i've mastered latte art though, so that's good
My instructor had me practice with instant coffee and a mixture of dishwasher soap and just a bit of milk, he says it looks incredibly similar, I was just worried someone will drink one of our practice cups and end up in the hospital 😅
when I was a barista trainer we used soy sauce in place of coffee and would practice with cheap milk, one of my trainees pranked his friend by giving him one of the soy sauce lattes. it was pretty funny.
this is actually a top tip, thank you. I've been meaning to practice latte art except I couldn't see a way around drinking A LOT of coffee or alternatively inviting half of the neighbourhood around
Don’t even waste milk at all. Add a drop of detergent to water and use that instead of milk, that’s how I was taught to froth properly, if you mess up you get big bubbles, do it right you get the exact same type of foam as milk. And you can practise your pours with it too
@@Sir99percent we just used regular espresso, hadn’t found a hack for that though I think you can do it with cocoa powder and water. But we also used it as a way to practice tamping our grounds
When i did my barista training, we just poured all (more than 4l of coffee) of the coffee we practiced with into the milk containers, and then gave them to the homeless people near the coffee shop. I took one of the coffee milk cartons back home, and omg it was one of the best coffees I've had in my life. My family fought to get some lol
You can also practice getting a good foam when steaming with water and the smallest drop of dish soap. If you get the right amount of air while steaming, you should get a nice layer of dense foam instead of big bubbles (this won’t necessarily be exactly like milk but it’s good to practice to visualize how the air affects the foam)
@@senadzri that’s a really good idea and I hadn’t thought of that. I usually just wait until my parents ask for lattes. They need a lot of caffeine to deal with my shenanigans though 😅
Why clean up the mess. Just decoupage it, coat it with liquid plastic laminate it! When dry, simply use a power saw to remove the counter top. Cement it to a sturdy wooden board.and voila--a genuine, one of a kind, original work of art
In the end it's milk chocolate and still drinkable 😃 just put it on the stove for one minute and - no waste at all 👍👍👍 I wish I could do it as perfectly every time, but now I know how to practice, thank you ❤️
I was trained at my old barista job to practice w/water + a few drops of dish soap, steam it and it’s really similar to how 2% steams and it’s great to practice steaming and art with….just remember not to drink it😅
You could also drink it. And/or if you're practicing this "at work", you can offer them heavily discounted for regular customers. However it comes out looking, the "artwork" is just cosmetic. This will cover your cost, fortify bonding with regulars - and you're not losing any significant paying business, because they're gonna come back regularly and they understand the favor is temporary.
Can you please show me how you froth your milk and make it so silky? Every time I froth my milk on the Breville, it comes out so thin. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong.
