The Key to Silky Smooth Steamed Milk 

These are exactly the tips I needed to clear the confusion. Thank you so much!!!

This has been the most helpful tutorial I've seen! Thanks so much, it's greatly appreciated!🙂

This is a great video. Not only about coffee and latte art but how to coach someone in a new skill and in a short amount of time. Excellent process, guidance, support and feedback! Great work Josh! (and Freya(?))

This was the most thorough and detailed video that I’ve seen, thank you!

Your videos are always the best, thank you for another great tutorial!

I just got my first machine today, and after watching a few other videos I found you have extra tips that are useful, especially the one about practising with dish soap! When I saw your other videos pop up at the end I decided to subscribe as I think I will really benefit from them and get the most out of my machine; thank you 😊

Thanks, great advice, I've now discovered as a beginner because I'm taking too long in getting the wand and everything else positioned, I end up foaming hot milk. and this now explains the dry and bubbly foam I'm creating. Thank you, out of the thousands on 'how to steam' videos on YT you're the only person to explain this important step, thank you for your expertise, appreciated.

Top advice mate- comprehensive and shows your knowledge and attention to detail

i dont know anything about coffee or being a barista, I find it to be an art form on itself and its beautiful. Im here to learn. Thanks So Much

This is fascinating. Can’t wait to try this tomorrow morning, thank you.

Wow, thank you! I've seen so many videos already, this is the one that helped me! Subscribed!

These tips really made steaming milk click for me after many months of attempts 🤟

your explanation are simple and very good for a beginner. short and compact with all important info. would like to see more video from you to guide me becoming a full total professional barista.

Youre too good to explain,it’s easy to learn from your video❤

Great description and sample....big thanks

Thank you!! As I was watching you I wondered how I was going to port this on my breville bambino. And then bam! You actually tested it on a bambino! Thanks!

You saved my life. THANK YOU SO MUCH FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART!

your scene of entire process of steam milk will help me much more than anything else i saw in the internet... i mean, people told how to do each part of process, but not show without cuts from beginning to ending the entire process, I already gor each step in my mind, but i really though that i should do it in a way that is totally more complex... because they tell first make air comes into the milk then start the vortex, but both steps are actually one in your case, and not a separeted step, what makes a huge difference, for sure is clear when each part acts on your video, but not in the others due to cuts that make it looks as a whole different timming for each step... i will try with water make the steamming process when i not want some milk a head, but for sure i will use milk because hot milk into coffee is better than cold milk... and mostly important i have a home machine that shred beans into pownder and has steam wand all in one, but is not good as comercial ones, anyway the machine is fine to do really tasty coffee, i could make really nice expresso, the tip i mostly undersmate is the fresh roasted beans, i bought i single package of to thest against one sit for some weeks and makes my mind blow, how different both are, now i just pick beans and use the amount i need to use in a few days, each week buy a new pack will be much more tasty than get a big one, or a bunch of the shelfs and get all into a good expresso coffee but without the max potential LOL Still learning and loving the expresso art

Took a while to find someone who actually knows what they are talking about! Thanks.

Me who drinks tea everyday : Hmmm Interesting... You never know when you have to steam a milk

This is all for beginners. Thank you so much

Great video! Specially the tips for a smaller machine were very useful! Thanks.

After watching 2/3 of this video, I just made the best steamed milk I've ever made. By far. Thanks!!!!

Great effort put in the video, thanks, unfortunately I still an't make it work after a million tries. Should wait until next life maybe?

Always helpful tips.

Wow this is what I needed. Could not get thw right texture till this vid. Cheers!!!

It works!! Thank you so much, huge improvement even after first attempt following your tips! (though definitely still not there yet). Cheers!

Best latte help out there 👏 thank you 😊

This is pretty good! I've been getting much better at my art but still inconsistent between jugs, particularly as I alternate between milk and almond in my house. Quickly picked up that I am rushing to inject air and creating large bubbles early. a few moments to establish the spin before injecting air is all the tip that I needed.

Helpful video! I was doing pretty well with my Capresso EC Pro and then I decided to clean the tip. I didn't realize how restricted it became over time. Restoration of much steam power turned me into a steaming newbie again and the milk has been too bubbly. I'll try to put the tip further into the milk from the start and I'm confident I'll get better results.

Great video! I would like to have heard the actual steaming noises as the the nozzle tip moves…. may be a good indicator of what’s happening. Just a thought.

Ur method helped me on steaming milk today, thnx.

Thanks for the video! I love coffee with milk, but I found it extremely difficult to make. I will do my best to practice... 😍

This is a very concise and clear video and very well done, 😊

Amazing tutorial.

i have sage barista express and i am using this coffee machine for the last 3 years without any defect. My coffee machine milk frothing pipe work fast and gives us a unique flavour for tasty coffee.

Really helpful video. Thanks guys ❤

I appreciate the info about the plant milk!

I saw many videos but yours are the best ever .. greetings from africa brother ❤

Thanks for the video. Lots of practice needed. At this stage, I end up with a massive foam, like if I had added too much detergent to the washing machine. The family still likes the coffees, though.

ty for a tutorial on home machines!

Wow your video & explanation & quality is Perfect😘

Just too good in details

Super helpful, thanks!

Exactly what I needed to know, thanks!❤

Excellent video.

I have a Bambino AND use alternative milk, it's been a struggle but this helped a lot! Thanks for the tips!

If you do have a smaller unit like the Bambino but it has adequate pressure that you won't reduce its Effectiveness by adding more holes, I've seen a lot of people using the Bambino plus steam tip that has four holes to replace the one whole Bambino steam tip, reporting good results. One of the reasons I ended up getting a Bambino plus was because it was supposed to be quite a bit better at steaming so the cost to replace the tip kind of helped reduce the price differential along with the solenoid valve that makes for less wet pucks and the larger water tank for Convenience... Also prettier colors haha

thank you ill try it out today and i will bring back the result

Thanks for the tips! They were very helpful😘😀👍

Really good points. Thank you

Brilliantly done thank you

thank you very much this is the first real tip that helped me

Wow I've been a barista for 4 years n this is the best technique y have I been told different lol

4:30 this was a good tip. I've been doing this with my Bambino Plus and it's improved my consistency with texturing

Thanks Josh for another great video, my team love watching and learning from you.

Great video

Next level Josh has been unlocked. 👍

Thank you so much. I learned a lot from this video.

thank you so much!!! this is really helpful!

Really helpful video

Thanks a lot, your video really helped me!

Thank you! To practice with detergent water is a great tip! Not only is the whole process transparent and easier to observe, now I don't have to end up drinking a big jug of foamy milk! However, the viscosity is a little bit different between the two liquids, so it's not really exactly the same in terms of the timing and swirling depth, but at least it got me up to speed. Like I said, not having to drink so much foamy milk is a big YES. 😂😂

Thanks for Sharing

Thank you for sharing!

Perfect way of reducing foam

Another thing to consider is the holes in the steam wand tip. After changing from a 4 hole tip to one with 3 holes we had way more success.

Thank you for this!

4:05 greatest tip ever! thank you.

Thank you so much These tips are really helpful

i m french i m not very well in english but i understand what yousay and now i steam milk correctly with my delonghi thx

Just wonderful

what a coffee replacement for learn latte art btw? thank you for the sharing session!

Very nice video

Great vid and details thanks so very much! What is the least amount of milk that can be done? As I am the only one drinking it and I dont want to waist any. God bless

immeditly i subscribed ur channel❤️❤️ really amazing explanation and easy way. thank u😊 my greetings from Palestine🇵🇸

Thanks !

I found that the bambino is better for beginners. The whole process being slower allows for easy and gentle air incorporation. Not only that, but it allows more room for error since the folding process is inherently longer so you can smooth out stray air bubbles. My profitec is MUCH faster at frothing milk, but it's much less forgiving.

Thanks for such a helpful video. You showed a consumer grade coffee machine with a steam wand but what about one having a panarello wand? Do you think we can achieve results with a panarello wand too? I have the Philips 3200 series in case you're curious.

Love your video's

Really nice ecplained friend

How can you do this vid without showing the sound of the steaming.

Thanks bro

Thnx !

Very well explained!! Thank you!!!

dude is pro!

I shared it with my new Batista's thank you

I find that although many barristers get the silky smooth foam right. They too often then not serve up cold milk!

I've got a Breville (well, Sage in the UK) Barista Express, so seeing this done on a Bambino was perfect, thank you!

Here in Quebec Canada, there are two major players in commercial dairies. One of them os Lactalis. The milk from this brand is almost impossible to get the correct texture. The equal in Natrel is working fine. But i prefer some smaller dairies that have tastier products.

This is dope

I felt so called out at 2:07. HAHAHAHA

is 1 nozzle hole or 3 nozle holes better for milk forthing?

How about showing I with a la marzocco how to steam only 120ml at a tiMe for a single cap. Thanks!

Does this work for a 4 hole steam tip too? I have a Rancilio Silvia Pro X.

Really appreciate you making all these mess to show us the No Nos of steaming milk

Great video! Is it possible to steam milk at home on the stove top without any fancy equipment? Can you please make a video about steaming milk on the stove top? Thank you I look forward to it

TFS love the video 😍new subbie - quick question My hubby likes his coffee HOT so I find I’m going beyond the ‘ouch it’s hot’ stage…does this stuff up the milk foam? Love to hear back ty 😉

Secret of making a NICE ESPRESSO. (I am having a Breville - The Barista Pro Coffee Machine. I am using a DOUBLE FILTER for one cup coffee. Hence I hope you will experience the same effect when making a cup of coffee) When making a espresso, you must notice the coffee dripping out of the filter. They (coffee dripping) have summarily 3 distinct colors of changing stages. They (coffee dripping) are: (1) Black dark color .... VERY BITTER (2) Golden color ..... NO BITTER (3) Light yellow color ..... WATERY If you like BITTER, then get (1) and (2) above. If you want NO BITTER at all, try to get (2) ONLY.... This is the BEST TASTE at all. So, when you see this LIGHT YELLOW COLOR ==> PRESS "TURN OFF" YOUR COFFEE DRIPPING! DON'T EVER GET (3), because it is too WATERY, meaning too much water added to your coffee is no good. Hence, too much milk into your ESPRESSO also give you not a nice taste, as you also feel TOO WATERY.

So pressure pushes things away from it! Wow! Okay got it! I was so lost wondering why it splashes all over! I have an interview tomorrow and didn’t want to give a bad impression.
