Want to make heart but failed miserably.

After hundreds of cups, kilos of coffees /matchas until now still cant make latte art even the most simple one like heart or rosetta.

Now gave up already.. Its been a month since my last attempt. 😂

Hello there, great to hear from you, i was once like your result too, from experience i think you've steam too much foam into your milk, try lesser foam by lesser hissing during milk steaming process. smile.gif hope that would helps.

Hello there, to all the tools that you having I've been through that as well, there's a video in youtube which doing quite well by using a hot milk in a pitcher and a milk frother which he shows pouring a latteart as well, maybe u can try out.

Hi,

Here are some of the arts I attempted so far. So far, these are the better one with luck on my side. I believe my milk frothing/stretching is not consistent. 3 out 10s are good one. Hope someone can share their experience. Thanks

like your rosetta, i think the main tip is to jiggle slowly but pour bit fast so that there will be more contrast biggrin.gif just my thought mate

not with mod version..... the mod takes it to more high level steam pressure when release and the milk froth up very fast....try with soap water and it froth up in like 3 - 4 second ..... like raging bull when you hold their horn (never hold one before)  rclxms.gif

damm it is close to raya, hope my loxeal reach me in time before the holiday...  cry.gif

About steaming milk, by frothing milk and frothing soap water will be totally different speed due to milk has more density, so i've been using oscar for 3 years, i think it has reasonable strength compare to NS Apia2, just my thought hahaha

Hi all,

May I know how do you make  consistent froth milk which suitable for latte art? How do you know the milk is just nice for latte art? Currently, my main problem is 3/10 cups too thick, 4/10 cups too thin, probably 3/10 cups are ok. So how do make it more consistent? Through experience? Is there any objective way to know? Thx
*
Hello there, this require experience most of the part, if milk having too thick foam means that u need to reduce the hissing/chirping sound,

Lesser the foam the more fine details of your latteart can be, but difficult to pour as theres lesser foam to form a latteart.

More foam, the more cloudy latteart can be, but easier to pour as the foam helps to foam a shape easily but too much foam will end up oil painting.

If one is looking for consistency, then only 1 way is to practice more, even more than you should.

Thanks. So basically the consistency of the milk is solely based on experience. I just hope we have tools or a way that we can have 100% consistency of stretched milk every time.

BTW, any expert tips while stretching the milk? Mine is ok now, like silky white paint with no bubbles, just need to ensure the right foam for latte art
*
Haha there's nobody expert here, but i know there's a tip that can prolong the steaming process that will be freeze your pitcher, so that will slow down the temperature raising up process while steaming the milk.

Hmmm interesting on pitcher in freezer!! will try that tmr morning!! i believe milk plays an important role too in milk foam!! switching milk won't give you the consistency. what milk are you all using right now that works best?
*
Im using farm house, but farm fresh, Magnolia's fresh milk works the same for me, but farm house has the sweetest taste, but after all skills matters the most i personally think so. 😁 Not saying I'm good but through my 3 years of repetitive doing the same thing will makes one rethink of everyday process.

Supermarket mostly.
The milk preference it depend on one's choice so you had to taste it to know which milk suit you. I would recommend magnolia fresh milk the one with the yellow box.

Some say that it is the milk that closely similar to what starbucks is using but the trend preference now used by most cafe are the magnolia barista milk which not sold in the supermarket.

from F&N's distributor sales staff told us, both actually are the same content just different packaging to market into different category, like cafes and supermarket.
