Hahahahaha yes! Get my voice in your head. Will 10/10 elevate your latte art game to the next level haha! Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it!
You’re really gifted at teaching. Quite a complicated topic made so understandable. Great sense of relevant humor without distracting. You deserve everything good that comes out of this.
Lance, thanks for the basics “class” on latte art. Very good! You asked about cement vs concrete. - Cement is the “glue” that holds sand and rock (aggregate) together. Think of cementing them together. - concrete is the mixture and finished product. It’s a composite of aggregate cemented together. - concrete doesn’t get its strength from drying. “Curing” concrete actually requires water for the chemical reactions to work. That’s why you can set a fence post either poured concrete and immediately cover it up with dirt. - Fun Facts - concrete never stops curing and it produces heat. A newly poured driveway can be walked on usually in 24 hours, but you have to wait a couple days to drive a car on it. Large structures like dams must have coolant piping in their structure. The coolant carries away excess heat generated by the curing concrete. 50 years after the Hoover dam was built, it was still generating a tiny amount of heat.
These are the best tutorials on TH-cam. Every other video about steaming and latte art that I've come across is like, just steam the milk, then pour it in! Ta da, latte art! Thank you for these comprehensive videos
I have been doing cafe-level latte art for 4 years and didn’t think I would sit through this video. Turns out, I learnt so much and watched it all the way through. Thank you for such a thorough and intuitive explanation. This also helps me teach my friends.
I love that! Makes me stoked to know even veterans are watching and learning. I do pride myself on being able to articulate certain aspects of coffee that make concepts more digestable and relatable to others. So happy to hear you've gotten some of that from my vids!
I've had an Espresso machine at home for about 6 years and had given up on latte art. I watched the milk steaming vid and over 3 days my milk consistency has improved dramatically! After watching this, I'm giving the art another go. Thanks Lance for all the tips and explanations. (and the finger guns!)
Thank you! I try to be thorough. I know some see it as a nuisance or boring, but I want to ensure I'm making the information laid out completely. Thanks for the support!
@@LanceHedrick Thank you for laying it out thoroughly. It's engaging, it's funny, and above all, p r a c t i c a l. Love the analogies and camera angles, makes it easy to grock and apply. 👍Great work.
The progressively increasing flow rate advice is gold. When I started learning latte art a few months ago I got to hearts pretty easily but somehow lost the touch. Turns out I was being to careful, afraid of ruining my art. Which never materialised because of that. Thanks for your great videos!
Thank you, Justin! Means a lot! I'm excited to continue pumping out more vids, mostly education, so the support means a lot. Filming espresso tutorials tomorrow!
This video is my "back to basics" video. Ive been a barista for about a year and a half now i didnt attempt latte art until about 6 months in and every time im struggling with a new design i come back to this video and start over in my mind its so helpful
Just became a barista in a small town and I am so thankful for these videos because it’s my only resource right now to serve others well! Thank you so much!
You are an absolutely incredible teacher. I have heaps of ADHD and I love when things are explained very thoroughly to me, and also when I am taught HOW/WHY something works physically. Very rarely do teachers achieve either or both of these for me. That said, I left this video and your milk steaming one with absolutely zero questions left to ask. Thank you so much. You have a gift for education. This is going to help me step up my coffee game at home and at the Michelin-star restaurant where I work.
Man i've learned more things from a 35 minute video of yours than in a 9 month period of others teaching me how to pour latte art..you have a gift sir.. Thank you very much for sharing it with us!!! Greetings from Greece
Man i don't believe it.. i own a cottage at Porto Rafti..what are the chances haha?!? I live in Marousi, Attica.. and i work at a Caffe in Kypseli called "Kick".. if you ever come across Greece again stop by❤️
Very cool! You know the hotel called Hotel Artemis in Porto Rafti? The university I attended in USA owns that hotel. So, I lived there. It is close to the bay (about 10min walk). Incredible! Hope to make it out there soon. It's where I met my (now) wife
That's so nice to hear!!! Yeah i know it, i didn't even know that it belonged in a U.S uni though.. I hope you get this TH-cam thing going cause you deserve it man.. and if you ever come to Greece, again, it would be a pleasure to meet you.. If it happens i would love to gift you a custom keyboard of my own for all the editing you do.. that's my quarantine hobby now xD
What a superb and detailed tutorial, no stupid speeded up nonsense, and no annoying musak drowning out anything you want to hear,,they dont get much better than that, many thanks from the UK
I attended a 6 hour barista class but learnt more in the first 20 minutes of this video! Great job! I love your passion and energy. For the six or so years since, I've been mediocre at latte art but with content like this free on youtube, there is no excuse for that.
I've been trying to practice my latte art at home recently and thanks to a friend's recommendation, I got here. To all the 'gurus' out there who wants to make your "online educational video", this is how you do it. Content packed with honest, truthful, analytical and detailed knowledge. I always believe letting one understands "why" instead of knowing "how" is the better way to teach because one gets to grasp the concept and think for themselves and re-apply them in different circumstances. However, if one wants to learn "how", tutorial videos exist for a reason! AND I wish to clarify tutorial videos are great too! Especially when you want to pick up something quickly, but to REALLY know "HOW'? Knowing 'why' always helped! Believe me, not everyone can teach, and if you can't, your student knows. And for sure, I definitely know Lance Hedrick can teach SUPER WELL! Thank you for your channel, keep doing what you are doing! Supporting from Malaysia!
Just got a barista job and have been asked if I’ve done it before.. I definitely haven’t and felt like it was intuitive. After this, I have LEVELED UP! Thank you for sharing this*
Love your lessons! As a late bloomer (starting my baristaing (is that a word) in my 40’s) I rely on TH-cam to learn my basics and surprise my younger colleagues (with years of experience) with how fast I pick this barista thing up :D Thank you!
You're a good lad. I enjoyed watching this as a budding home barista but more so as a teacher with 15 years experience. You were in your teaching flow state, admittedly easier to do when but being interrupted constantly by unruly students, bravo!
Haha! Thank you! I was a graduate assistant and teaching assistant in grad school when I was considering becoming a professor. I chose coffee haha! Am happy I've found a way to combine my loves
It's not just that you explain everything clearly...its that you give us the details about what's happening in the cup, so when things don't go perfectly at home, we can figure out why and how to do better next time. Love it!
REALLY enjoy your teaching style. I came here because I bought my wife a Bambino and I'd love to make her some beautiful coffee. I feel like I have a decent understanding to get started after watching this. And, I just heard at the end that you made a Bambino video, so I'll be over there if anybody needs me. 😁
Not every day I get to subscribe to a TH-camr I think will blow up when he is still on 4k subs (started watching on 2k). Shared your channel in an Israeli coffee lovers group because I think your videos are great and your steaming tutorial upped my level like no other did. Wish you all the best!
Thank you so very much! It is evening here, so I'll say erev tov, though soon I guess boker tov would be appropriate in Israel! Thanks sincerely for the comment and the share. Cheers!
Myanmar, Liberia and the USA are the three countries using the customary system. Thank you Lance to incite me to learn it this evening on the Internet.
Another fantastically detailed video from Lance! What we have in Lance's last two videos is the beginnings of a Master Class in latte art. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and experience, Lance. Your overly-caffeinated style is very entertaining! 😊
I have been trying to at least get a blob to float for about a year, and no luck. I watched this video plus the milk frothing one and immediately after trying this, i got my first blob to float! And then I did a heart! You are an AMAZING TEACHER!
Thank you for breaking things down so well. Love the way that you broke things down and the camera angles really help to visualize what is going on. I can now stop describing my latte art as abstract.
Who knew a great latte art video included Dora and Aladdin references and beatboxing!! Seriously a great video and never been more excited to start pouring hearts again! 💯
I’ve watched at least 100 latte art videos and have worked on it for a year. This video took me to a new level. I can’t wait for videos on advanced designs. Thanks so much!!
i like how instead of just giving tips and steps to blindly follow you teach us about the fluid dinamics involved so we can understand instead of just follow . it makes troubleshooting so easy once you understand the theory behind it . i cant learn things by heart that well but once i understand things intuitively i remember it for life . thank you for taking the time to teach properly .
I can truthfully say I've watched hours of latte art tutorial vids over the years. Your definitive video comes along with all the critical information needed to understand what's going on in the cup and begs the question "why has no-one made this video before?" Simple answer. Mastery matters and many videos demonstrate that, but analysing that understanding and breaking it down into tangible and teachable steps takes SO MUCH investment and is so generous. I can understand why no-one has made this video before. I feel as though it's the only vid which will help people like me progress without paying for classes. Thank you so much! Can't wait to practice and look forward to every new vid. I would definitely support you on Patreon. You deserve a return on all the investment you've made for us.
Wow. Thank you for this. I sincerely, truly appreciate it. I will consider a patreon down the road if I decide to do the review route so I can purchase equipment myself. As for now, I genuinely want to make this accessible. I'm happy to make the investment. I'm just so happy it's being accepted so well! Thank you for the support!
Yess new video. I've been following coffee specialist youtubers for years now but I can't believe my favorite is one who's only been on youtube for a month haha
Sir am a latte art beginner i have 7months of experience and have been challenged with heart. Watching your video i promise my self i will do it today. You are not a barista only best teacher sir. Respect
Dude, I've been a doing latte art at home for a few years but it's always been a little inconsistent. After watching this and your other videos I can already see a crazy improvement. Thanks for the great informative videos.
I rarely comment on youtube, but I feel I really need to this time. Thank you so much for the thorough, very detailed, and yet understandable guide for a beginner like me. I have watched tons of latte art videos, but yours the one that makes me understand the concept. I finally succeeded in pouring a heart today, thanks to you Lance. Cheers!
This and the milk steaming videos are game changers. Seriously, thank you for your content. I get a lot of joy out of making my morning (and afternoon) latte. These videos give me a ton of inspiration to continue to get better and improve my home barista game! ☕️
I like how you explain every factor for Latte logically, rather than a lot of video just starting pouring the milk to form pattern..... the best video so far
Best latte Art tutorial I have ever seen! You've helped me a lot with both my milk steaming and latte art. There is some really good stuff out there on TH-cam, but the way you explain it makes it way easier to understand. Thanks, I can't way to try again tomorrow morning!
I literally giggled when you explained cup rotation because that’s the best explanation I’ve ever heard for getting your designs to manifest, and could feel my latte art skills improving in that very moment. Bravo and thank you for this masterclass.
Been watching countless hours of espresso/latte art videos while I wait for my Gaggia and this is the first time I'm hearing about a lot of this stuff like laying the base and rotating the cup etc. Keep it up!
Fab video I just started a two week barista course the tutor has us pouring nearly a meter from the cup no wonder our drinks are not coming out right thank you for your clear and educational advice
I've started as a barista couple of years ago and no one teaches me to do latte art. I've learned it through those 1 min video... I've been using those minimum information until now and the struggle is really real... my latte art is still not really decent... not only latte art but also for brewing single origin coffee through manual or espresso... I wish I found this diamond sooner before... this kind of video really give me more in depth info about coffee... now, only need to be do is apply all these in practice... thanks for this master class channel that I couldn't find in any other channels before...
Mate! 👏👏👏 Videos are in depth and far from boring. Funny and good at grabbing my attention before my mind starts to wonder. Great job! Keep up the excellent work!
Fantastic! This makes me so happy to hear. I've had some comments saying I talk too much or need to include more b roll because I can be boring so I needed to read this! Thank you!
I've had my espresso machine for about 3 months now. I've casually tried making art in my wife's morning lattes and it's usually more like seeing shapes in the clouds than any clear design. I just watched this video and tried. I was honestly surprised how good my first attempt was. Excellent instruction!
Can’t stress enough how good it is. Awesome content! Love the fact you don’t use snobby equipment and still is able to do and teach every fancy drawing out there. Got a subscriber waiting for the next video, keep it up.
This is the best arte latte tutorial EVER on TH-cam! I got my linea mini 10days ago and I already pour decent hearts 💕 thank you so much Lance for explaining all the theory behind the latte art. It really makes all the difference by understanding how it works not just watch someone doing it nicely.
Heck yes! I feel the same way. My advancing in latte art came from a series of understanding different concepts. I'm so glad it helped you! And wonderful machine
Although the terms cement and concrete often are used interchangeably, cement is actually an ingredient of concrete, cement comprises from 10 to 15 percent of the concrete mix, by volume, The aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone. for your analogy, both can be used. thank you for your videos.
Thank you! Appreciate that being broken down haha. I always say concretization, but got lost in the camera 🤣 appreciate you taking the time to comment!
Never managed to get the soft white foam to clearly sit on top of the espresso until after watching this video. Problem is that after I saw it gracefully expanding, I panicked and spilled the coffee 😅 will keep exercising. Thank you for revealing all the details.
Deviding pour into steps is just gold. Repeating everything 100 times is also gold. You are a great teacher. One lesson and remember everything. Now I have no excuse not to try pouring latte art. Thank you a lot.☺️ And please consider video with sound effects when pouring latte art😂
Hahaha! Some beatbox and latte art? I'll consider it haha! And thank you for the kindness. I appreciate it! Happy to produce these vids. Glad to hear they're helpful!
Pleasure man, good to see actually someone not just can do it but also know how to properly deliver the knowledge to other. I understand em all but i just can’t convey em into words lol Keep it up
I'm amazed every time Lance. The way you teach and explain everything makes so much sense. I get every word you say and it really helps me moving forward with my coffeemaking experience. So thank you for every video, every tip and everything in the future. You're an awesome teacher and i enjoy every second of it. I'll keep on practicing and keep an eye out for new content!
Yeah i really have. Making my morning coffee has been 10 minutes of happiness for my since i started out. Just me and the machine at 6.30 in the morning when the wife and the kid are still sleeping. It just gives me a kind of peace i guess. But with your help i have been improving my skills and taste aswell. So every morning gives me an even better start. For me that makes a big difference. Also your humor is great haha
Dude… you speak my language! This is the class i need to graduate as an engineer for latte art! You’re AMAZING 🤩 thank you… you should be called “PILATTE” 🎉🎉
After watching around 10 hours videos of latte art, I must say this is perhaps the best tutorial one can find in the interweb. An improvement idea: it would be great to have a couple of first-person views on the pour, I think it’s gonna really help to memorise how the things have to look. Cheers, looking forward to the next tutorials!
Thanks! When you say first-person views, what do you mean? In my mind, overhead seems like first-person, but I had that in the video, so are you thinking of something different? Happy for critique!
@@LanceHedrick hey, yes, I meant an overhead view and yes, you have one, but the hands are coming to the scene from the top of the screen, it need to be 180 rotate 🙂
If you have ideas on how to get that shot, I'm all ears lol! Hard to get all the angles for these videos without a full out production team 🤣🤣🤣 Appreciate it though!
These videos couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I just started my new job as a barista this week and I’m so glad I found your videos. Guess who didn’t have to throw out any poorly steamed milk yesterday? 😂 Thank you, Lance!
That's what I LOVE to hear! Less waste, faster turnaround on training. And equipping baristas to move up! So stoked to hear that, friend. More to come!
What an absolutely incredible entry into the TH-cam world you’ve made. Great natural and likeable presenting style and high production value videos 👍🏻(Coming from a TH-cam addict)
As a newer channel, I feel like you've got so much potential. You're already one of the best coffee presenters I've watched. You're entertaining while also brutally specific. My milk steaming is also far better using far less effort after watching your last video. I'd like to mention a little technical thing. Camera and perspective is great - especially your front-on shot which reminds me of James Hoffman's set up. But when the camera goes off your face, we rely only on the sound of your voice (without visual cues or lip reading for support). If the background music is too loud, it sometimes made it a little difficult to catch all of your words (as you naturally speak quite quickly).
Oh no! Was the music loud in this one? I had it turned way down from the milk steaming video to ensure that didn't happen. So sorry! Feel free to put on the closed caption option in the toolbar to help! I'll make a note about that again. Very sorry about that. But thank you for the kind words!
@@LanceHedrick The backing music was quite noticable in the milk steaming video, but this one is much better. It was just a couple of moments where you cut to the cup and I would have to focus to catch all of your words alongside the music. Really not meaning to complain at all. Your videos are great, and I think a little lo-fi background music is a nice touch
Thanks so much! Happy to have it brought it my attention. Didn't even notice the music first two passes lol. Told my friend editing it to not take it out completely. He brought to my attention it was, indeed, there lol. Thanks for telling me! Genuinely happy for criticism and feedback, positive or negative.
You are Killing me. It's been years and years I've been trying. And here I'm a great master of everything, ping pong, magic, backgammon, hand shadows, poker. And I can't for the LIFE of me get a grip on this. I'm such a failure in life until I get this. I"m sooooo depressed.
I admire your work and your generosity engaging and replying to every comment on here! Thank you for another great upload. Time to start practicing. I may DM you soon so you can critique my cup! Thanks again!
Absolutely! Thanks so much! Lots of comments but I genuinely want to ensure I'm available to help expound on potentially confusing bits, or just to help with people who learn differently. Happy to critique the video! Send it when ready.
Every time I drop in I’ll hear Lance yelling “POUR FASTER, FASTER, FASTER! IM TALKING TO YOU! EVERYONE’S DOING IT!” Thank you for doing this! 😊👏🏼
Hahahahaha yes! Get my voice in your head. Will 10/10 elevate your latte art game to the next level haha! Thanks for watching and commenting. Really appreciate it!
LOL. Good comment. Lance, keep it up. Thanks for the info
Haha for sure! Appreciate you
Nice comment 😀
He’s is a great teacher l learnt from him really
This isn’t a TH-cam video. It’s a fucking masterclass
Thank you! Lots more to come!
i was thinking the exact same thing!
Dude, it really is very similar to what you’d see in a Masterclass. Great explanations of the concepts
Facts, very grateful for this man
Thank you!
This is like getting a masterclass for free. Really appreciate what you're doing, man. Respect!
Thank you! I'm stoked you enjoyed it!
You’re really gifted at teaching. Quite a complicated topic made so understandable. Great sense of relevant humor without distracting. You deserve everything good that comes out of this.
Wow thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate that. Like, a lot. Such a kind comment. Excited to make some more!
@@LanceHedrick for sure, he is an incredible educator. This ability to simplify without distracting is a rare skill to have
Thank you so much
I finally succeeded in pouring a heart today, after months of attempts. Thanks @Lance Hedrick
Incredible! That rocks!
It feel like this video was uploaded to TH-cam by mistake and I should be paying to watch it. It’s amazing.
Thank you so much! Really appreciate that, friend
same!! xD
Lance, thanks for the basics “class” on latte art. Very good!
You asked about cement vs concrete.

Its admirable how you shoot videos in almost a single take, really depicts your deep knowledge and passion about coffee. RESPECT!!
There were cuts. He didn't show the whole expresso pulling and steaming process. But other than that you're right
I love this dude’s passion. I’m trying latte art every morning from now on.
Really, the only person that explained how to do it in real depth.
Thank you! I try to be thorough. I know some see it as a nuisance or boring, but I want to ensure I'm making the information laid out completely. Thanks for the support!

The progressively increasing flow rate advice is gold. When I started learning latte art a few months ago I got to hearts pretty easily but somehow lost the touch. Turns out I was being to careful, afraid of ruining my art. Which never materialised because of that. Thanks for your great videos!
For sure! This was a huge break through for me, as well.
Favorite quote is “because of gravity, hello”
Hahaha! I was feeling some sort of way that day, it appears lol. I giggled a bit when reviewing it. Definitely had a lot of coffee prior to filming 🤣
@@LanceHedrick very wholesome :)
And then later the clarification: “9.8 m/s²”😊
By far the best latte art education on TH-cam, and I’ve watched a lot of them.
Thank you, Justin! Means a lot! I'm excited to continue pumping out more vids, mostly education, so the support means a lot. Filming espresso tutorials tomorrow!
@@LanceHedrick sure thing. You’re on to something. Excited to follow along.

Amazing teacher who actually knows what’s he’s talking about and details the flow physics!
Thank you! Excited you enjoyed it

Myanmar, Liberia and the USA are the three countries using the customary system. Thank you Lance to incite me to learn it this evening on the Internet.
haha! I had no clue Myanmar and Liberia used customary! Crazy
Another fantastically detailed video from Lance! What we have in Lance's last two videos is the beginnings of a Master Class in latte art. Thank you for generously sharing your knowledge and experience, Lance. Your overly-caffeinated style is very entertaining! 😊
Thanks so much for the kind words! I super appreciate this comment. Working my hardest to keep it up! Thanks for the support!
I have been trying to at least get a blob to float for about a year, and no luck.
I watched this video plus the milk frothing one and immediately after trying this, i got my first blob to float! And then I did a heart!
You are an AMAZING TEACHER!
Thank you for breaking things down so well. Love the way that you broke things down and the camera angles really help to visualize what is going on. I can now stop describing my latte art as abstract.
Hahaha thank you! Glad to help with some verbiage and break down! Thanks for the support. Many more to come 🤗
Lance is the guy! He is a Professor!
Who knew a great latte art video included Dora and Aladdin references and beatboxing!! Seriously a great video and never been more excited to start pouring hearts again! 💯
Glad you enjoyed it! Makes me so happy!
Best video about latte art I’ve seen till now on YT 👍🏼
I’ve watched at least 100 latte art videos and have worked on it for a year. This video took me to a new level. I can’t wait for videos on advanced designs. Thanks so much!!
Incredible! So happy it jived with you! Excited to keep producing.
i like how instead of just giving tips and steps to blindly follow you teach us about the fluid dinamics involved so we can understand instead of just follow . it makes troubleshooting so easy once you understand the theory behind it . i cant learn things by heart that well but once i understand things intuitively i remember it for life . thank you for taking the time to teach properly .
This channel is SO underrated. Keep up the work and you'll reach huge heights! The quality is that of a channel with 100k-1mil, honest to God.
Thanks so much! I super appreciate that, my friend! Maybe one day we will get there! only about three or so weeks in! Thanks for the support
This is by far the best channel I have found for teaching anything espresso and coffee. You’re a gifted teacher!
I can truthfully say I've watched hours of latte art tutorial vids over the years. Your definitive video comes along with all the critical information needed to understand what's going on in the cup and begs the question "why has no-one made this video before?"
Simple answer. Mastery matters and many videos demonstrate that, but analysing that understanding and breaking it down into tangible and teachable steps takes SO MUCH investment and is so generous.
I can understand why no-one has made this video before. I feel as though it's the only vid which will help people like me progress without paying for classes.
Thank you so much! Can't wait to practice and look forward to every new vid.
I would definitely support you on Patreon. You deserve a return on all the investment you've made for us.
Wow. Thank you for this. I sincerely, truly appreciate it. I will consider a patreon down the road if I decide to do the review route so I can purchase equipment myself. As for now, I genuinely want to make this accessible. I'm happy to make the investment. I'm just so happy it's being accepted so well! Thank you for the support!
Why are you the only person who truly explained this?😁😁😁
Haha! I like teaching stuff a little too much 🤣
Yess new video. I've been following coffee specialist youtubers for years now but I can't believe my favorite is one who's only been on youtube for a month haha
Wow! That is such an incredibly kind thing to say! I'm so grateful you're enjoying these videos. Your support means the world. Thank you!
Sir am a latte art beginner i have 7months of experience and have been challenged with heart. Watching your video i promise my self i will do it today. You are not a barista only best teacher sir. Respect
This channel is gonna explode!
Thank you! I really hope so 🤞 appreciate the support so much!
I don't know diddly squat about latte art or even plan to try this, but you are a GREAT teacher 👏🏾‼️
Hahaha! Thank you so much! That really does mean a lot.
Dude, I've been a doing latte art at home for a few years but it's always been a little inconsistent. After watching this and your other videos I can already see a crazy improvement. Thanks for the great informative videos.
Incredible! Thank you for sharing. So glad they're helping
Thank you, Lance! I love the way you're explaining WHY to do something instead of only HOW to do it. Thank you!
I rarely comment on youtube, but I feel I really need to this time. Thank you so much for the thorough, very detailed, and yet understandable guide for a beginner like me. I have watched tons of latte art videos, but yours the one that makes me understand the concept. I finally succeeded in pouring a heart today, thanks to you Lance. Cheers!
Fantastic! That is so awesome to read. Thank you for the support! Much more to come
I really like this guy he’s not pretentious at all and is very good at teaching
This and the milk steaming videos are game changers. Seriously, thank you for your content. I get a lot of joy out of making my morning (and afternoon) latte. These videos give me a ton of inspiration to continue to get better and improve my home barista game! ☕️
Love hearing this! Exactly why I started. Thanks for the note!
I like how you explain every factor for Latte logically, rather than a lot of video just starting pouring the milk to form pattern..... the best video so far
Best latte Art tutorial I have ever seen! You've helped me a lot with both my milk steaming and latte art. There is some really good stuff out there on TH-cam, but the way you explain it makes it way easier to understand. Thanks, I can't way to try again tomorrow morning!
Thank you, frankie! That means so much to me. I'm so happy you've connected with my teaching style! Hopefully I'm not too crazy or verbose 🤣
I literally giggled when you explained cup rotation because that’s the best explanation I’ve ever heard for getting your designs to manifest, and could feel my latte art skills improving in that very moment. Bravo and thank you for this masterclass.
Haha incredible! Thank you so very much
Been watching countless hours of espresso/latte art videos while I wait for my Gaggia and this is the first time I'm hearing about a lot of this stuff like laying the base and rotating the cup etc. Keep it up!
Fantastic! Thank you! Filming espresso basics tomorrow so keep your eyes peeled! 👀👀👀
Fab video I just started a two week barista course the tutor has us pouring nearly a meter from the cup no wonder our drinks are not coming out right thank you for your clear and educational advice
Subscribed and RESPECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is basically a free class.
Thank you again! That is my goal- put up free classes, essentially. Making education accessible!
I've started as a barista couple of years ago and no one teaches me to do latte art. I've learned it through those 1 min video... I've been using those minimum information until now and the struggle is really real... my latte art is still not really decent... not only latte art but also for brewing single origin coffee through manual or espresso... I wish I found this diamond sooner before... this kind of video really give me more in depth info about coffee... now, only need to be do is apply all these in practice... thanks for this master class channel that I couldn't find in any other channels before...
Mate! 👏👏👏 Videos are in depth and far from boring. Funny and good at grabbing my attention before my mind starts to wonder. Great job! Keep up the excellent work!
Fantastic! This makes me so happy to hear. I've had some comments saying I talk too much or need to include more b roll because I can be boring so I needed to read this! Thank you!
I've had my espresso machine for about 3 months now. I've casually tried making art in my wife's morning lattes and it's usually more like seeing shapes in the clouds than any clear design. I just watched this video and tried. I was honestly surprised how good my first attempt was. Excellent instruction!
Can you go ahead and just teach me... everything? This is amazing.
Hahahaha! Incredible compliment. I have more coming! Filming espresso stuff today 😍
You move your right hand like a classically trained bass player. Bravo, and thank you for your very contagious enthusiasm.
Can’t stress enough how good it is. Awesome content! Love the fact you don’t use snobby equipment and still is able to do and teach every fancy drawing out there. Got a subscriber waiting for the next video, keep it up.
Fantastic! Doing final edits and should post tomorrow!
This is hands down the best TH-cam video I have found to date on how to make latter art.
That is crazy kind. Thank you!
Fantastic. Very detailed and very well explained. My sense is that this channel / Lance’s teachings will be a game changer for many aspiring baristas.
Thanks, Daniel! Sincerely. That's my hope! And, of course, to help those making coffee at home during these wild times!
This is the best arte latte tutorial EVER on TH-cam! I got my linea mini 10days ago and I already pour decent hearts 💕 thank you so much Lance for explaining all the theory behind the latte art. It really makes all the difference by understanding how it works not just watch someone doing it nicely.
Heck yes! I feel the same way. My advancing in latte art came from a series of understanding different concepts. I'm so glad it helped you! And wonderful machine
Although the terms cement and concrete often are used interchangeably, cement is actually an ingredient of concrete, cement comprises from 10 to 15 percent of the concrete mix, by volume, The aggregates are sand and gravel or crushed stone. for your analogy, both can be used. thank you for your videos.
Thank you! Appreciate that being broken down haha. I always say concretization, but got lost in the camera 🤣 appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I love the fact that he understands and feels basic physics!
Never managed to get the soft white foam to clearly sit on top of the espresso until after watching this video. Problem is that after I saw it gracefully expanding, I panicked and spilled the coffee 😅 will keep exercising. Thank you for revealing all the details.
HAHAHA! Yes. That will happen! I'm happy to hear it though. I always tell people not to fear the spill. It is how we learn!
I am an engineer and I love this approach. Thanks for speaking my language
Deviding pour into steps is just gold. Repeating everything 100 times is also gold. You are a great teacher. One lesson and remember everything. Now I have no excuse not to try pouring latte art. Thank you a lot.☺️ And please consider video with sound effects when pouring latte art😂
Hahaha! Some beatbox and latte art? I'll consider it haha! And thank you for the kindness. I appreciate it! Happy to produce these vids. Glad to hear they're helpful!
University students would be lucky to have someone like yourself teaching ❤️
Bro, i am a barista and you earned my big thumb ups my friend
Appreciate that! I miss being a barista, but luckily I get to train hundreds now. Love the coffee life. Thanks for the love!
Pleasure man, good to see actually someone not just can do it but also know how to properly deliver the knowledge to other. I understand em all but i just can’t convey em into words lol
Keep it up
Fantastic. Appreciate that, my friend!
this is the absolute best instruction I’ve ever seen. I’ve struggled with latte art and now I know why
You're such a freakin hero dude. Thanks so much for your time in making these, they're awesome.
I appreciate this so much! Thank you for supporting, friend.
I can’t believe you provided this for free. This is fantastic and the quality is fantastic.
I'm amazed every time Lance. The way you teach and explain everything makes so much sense. I get every word you say and it really helps me moving forward with my coffeemaking experience.
So thank you for every video, every tip and everything in the future. You're an awesome teacher and i enjoy every second of it.
I'll keep on practicing and keep an eye out for new content!
Thank you so much! What an incredible comment! I'm so happy you've been able to glean a lot from these videos. Excited to keep pumping them out!
Yeah i really have. Making my morning coffee has been 10 minutes of happiness for my since i started out. Just me and the machine at 6.30 in the morning when the wife and the kid are still sleeping. It just gives me a kind of peace i guess.
But with your help i have been improving my skills and taste aswell. So every morning gives me an even better start. For me that makes a big difference. Also your humor is great haha
That is awesome news! I'll definitely have taste videos at some point soon! Thanks again for tuning in!
Dude… you speak my language! This is the class i need to graduate as an engineer for latte art! You’re AMAZING 🤩 thank you… you should be called “PILATTE” 🎉🎉
Those gains, I'm remember when you had 200 subs (not too long ago). Great job, keep the great content coming!
Haha thank you! Yes. Been a fast three weeks! Appreciate you, friend!
This man is a legend. Best video out there for beginners like myself.
After watching around 10 hours videos of latte art, I must say this is perhaps the best tutorial one can find in the interweb.
An improvement idea: it would be great to have a couple of first-person views on the pour, I think it’s gonna really help to memorise how the things have to look.
Cheers, looking forward to the next tutorials!
Thanks! When you say first-person views, what do you mean? In my mind, overhead seems like first-person, but I had that in the video, so are you thinking of something different? Happy for critique!
@@LanceHedrick hey, yes, I meant an overhead view and yes, you have one, but the hands are coming to the scene from the top of the screen, it need to be 180 rotate 🙂
If you have ideas on how to get that shot, I'm all ears lol! Hard to get all the angles for these videos without a full out production team 🤣🤣🤣
Appreciate it though!
@@LanceHedrick Fake it till you make it! For me it was enough to lock the rotation position on the phone and turn it 180 while on that scene 🙂
No I got it now from the DM! I sent that comment before you sent me the photo! Thanks for the visual
The best comprehensive latte art tutorial I've ever encountered on TH-cam. Much appreciated. 👍 👍 👍
These videos couldn’t have come at a more perfect time. I just started my new job as a barista this week and I’m so glad I found your videos. Guess who didn’t have to throw out any poorly steamed milk yesterday? 😂 Thank you, Lance!
That's what I LOVE to hear! Less waste, faster turnaround on training. And equipping baristas to move up! So stoked to hear that, friend. More to come!
Thank you so much Lance! You're a latte art genius and such a clear communicator. Love the analogies with aeroplanes, helicopters and concrete!
What an absolutely incredible entry into the TH-cam world you’ve made. Great natural and likeable presenting style and high production value videos 👍🏻(Coming from a TH-cam addict)
So thankful for this! Appreciate you taking the time to comment and watch! Means the world. Excited to produce more!
Thank you, Lance for your animated presentation. You are a gifted teacher.
As a newer channel, I feel like you've got so much potential. You're already one of the best coffee presenters I've watched. You're entertaining while also brutally specific. My milk steaming is also far better using far less effort after watching your last video.
I'd like to mention a little technical thing. Camera and perspective is great - especially your front-on shot which reminds me of James Hoffman's set up. But when the camera goes off your face, we rely only on the sound of your voice (without visual cues or lip reading for support). If the background music is too loud, it sometimes made it a little difficult to catch all of your words (as you naturally speak quite quickly).
Oh no! Was the music loud in this one? I had it turned way down from the milk steaming video to ensure that didn't happen. So sorry! Feel free to put on the closed caption option in the toolbar to help! I'll make a note about that again. Very sorry about that. But thank you for the kind words!
@@LanceHedrick The backing music was quite noticable in the milk steaming video, but this one is much better. It was just a couple of moments where you cut to the cup and I would have to focus to catch all of your words alongside the music. Really not meaning to complain at all. Your videos are great, and I think a little lo-fi background music is a nice touch
Thanks so much! Happy to have it brought it my attention. Didn't even notice the music first two passes lol. Told my friend editing it to not take it out completely. He brought to my attention it was, indeed, there lol. Thanks for telling me! Genuinely happy for criticism and feedback, positive or negative.
i'm new to latte art. this video is a master piece. Lance used very simple words to explain the logic behind it...thank you.
I never expected Dustin from Stranger Things to find a career as a Barista and latte art champion! 😧
Wait WHATTTT is it the curly hair? 🤣
And he also do beatboxing 😅. Seriously this guy got charisma.
Hahaha thanks!
LMAOOOO
Now that you’ve said it- I can’t unsee it!
You are Killing me. It's been years and years I've been trying. And here I'm a great master of everything, ping pong, magic, backgammon, hand shadows, poker. And I can't for the LIFE of me get a grip on this. I'm such a failure in life until I get this. I"m sooooo depressed.
I admire your work and your generosity engaging and replying to every comment on here! Thank you for another great upload. Time to start practicing. I may DM you soon so you can critique my cup! Thanks again!
Absolutely! Thanks so much! Lots of comments but I genuinely want to ensure I'm available to help expound on potentially confusing bits, or just to help with people who learn differently. Happy to critique the video! Send it when ready.
What a Soul Ninja! Whipping through space on a rock whipping milk!
What you give you shall recieve!
