    Best video I've seen so far re: Latte art. There tends to be a big difference between those who can DO it well and those who can TEACH it well.

    Other tutorials don't know the importance of dissecting the steps, and if they do, they do it with too much info dump. You sir are truly a master of your craft for explaining it well while providing just enough info and visual aid for a beginner to really understand latte art without feeling overwhelmed or confused. Thank you!

    • @Wholelattelovepage
      @Wholelattelovepage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      Probably one of the nicest comments I've ever gotten. Thank you! I went through all the beginner frustrations myself, so I try to explain things in a way that I would have understood back when I was first starting. I'm glad you and others find it so helpful!

    You are a good teacher. Clearly you have been through all of these mistakes and you documented and learned from it. However, to be able to articulate it out clearly in simple non technical way is another whole level of teaching. This is probably the best latte art video in youtube.

    • @Wholelattelovepage
      @Wholelattelovepage  2 ปีที่แล้ว +18

      Hi Thomson, thank you so much for the kind words! I had a brief run as a professor before diving into the coffee world, so maybe there's some carryover from that. Cheers ☕️

    Thank you so much for emphasizing the difference between at-home entry level machines and professional espresso machines for cafes. This is very rarely discussed in tutorials. I’m still trying to sort out how long I need to inject air before putting the steam wand deeper into the milk. I realized after many videos that the 2-4 second rule for powerful espresso machines simply does not apply to an entry level espresso system most of the time. Great video.

    Thank you for the tips and advice! I have been a coffee drinker since I started walking and talking. I love all coffee. My husband and I just ordered our first home espresso machine, I greatly appreciate your advice about the steam time on the milk for my home espresso machine vs if it was a commercial machine. It is well past due for me to get an espresso machine at home. I can not wait to practice. I look forward to drinking all my 'mistakes', however, I love your tip of practicing with dyed water and dish soap! As excited as I have been to drink my mistakes, I am excited to learn that tip!
