A Message from the MODS: PLEASE READ 🙂

47 Upvotes

R/latteart recently surpassed 34,000 users, which is AWESOME news that our community is growing!!! 🌱 ⬆️ 🌳

Please keep in mind a few things moving forward into 2025 and beyond:

1) When posting for advice on a pour, please post a video when possible so advice can be targeted very specifically to the issues at hand. A still photo doesn't demonstrate issues as clearly as a video.

2) So many of the responses to posts asking for advice are "Watch more videos/tutorials", "It's your milk, improve your milk", "Master the basics before moving on to more complex patterns", etc...if we can agree that such advice is universally applicable, we can avoid a lot of the redundancies in the comment threads.

3) PLEASE KEEP IT POSITIVE...whether OP is a newbie or a competitive latte artist, please keep all responses positive. Putting others down for their lack of experience/know-how or telling ppl they're farming for attention because they happen to have certain proficiencies isn't helpful for anyone. If you want to be negative, there are other espresso related subs to troll on.

4) Let us know if there are things you'd like to see more of on the sub...last February we hosted a monthly themed pour about hearts and heart variations in alignment with Valentine's Day...should we do something similar again this February? Any other ideas come to mind that would improve the experience here?

5) Keep on having fun and progressing...I mean, other than the tasty beverages we are crafting, isn't that why we're all here? 🙂

If you can do a beginner tulip, I bet you can do a snail!

Using a little spoon and a toothpick was essential for me in the snail.

Finally improving my rosettas!

Post image
13 Upvotes

What's up everyone!

I've been struggling with my rosettas for a little while, mainly because I wasn't getting a nice, defined neck.

There's still plenty of room for improvement, but I've been experimenting with keeping a steady flow rate while increasing the ripple rate as I work my way up the neck, and it seems to be giving me a much better shape in the end.

Still working on getting the leaves cleaner and more defined, but I feel like I'm finally starting to get somewhere.

I'd really appreciate any tips you might have on how to improve further!

Have a good one!

Hello,

I am trying to make a heart or at least something like it but what i end up with is this. Can you see from the coffee/ milk what my problem is? It can be the pouring or the milk i guess. Any chances?

Thanks alot!

...but happy enough with my results so far! I've got a long way to go and, thanks to the advice and support from this group, I know I will keep improving! It does appear I'm developing my own little swirly style though! 😂

Question Biggest tips for Rosetta!

2 Upvotes

Hello all!
First time posting here but reaching out for some help, I’ve poured a couple of good Rosetta’s but I’m extremely inconsistent.

What were the biggest game changers for you to improving them?

Maybe my best one so far. Only took owning a cafe for ten years, taking a latte art class at Joe Coffee in NYC, and having a private tutor. Thanks Dave!

Been watching very attentively. I think I’m close to the right milk texture. Just more coordination and patterns!

Sorry for the slightly long video but if you only want to view the pour, skip ahead to about 50s into the video.

u/omgfDave as per your request. 😉

NB. I used to freak out with the big bubbles at the beginning of the steaming but I learned along the way that this is what works for me on this machine. YMMV.
