Easy Tips For Latte Art

Latte art is the mark of a true espresso pro, so here are some easy tips to use to perfect your creation.

• Make sure that you are using whole milk, which will create a higher quality foam for the art design.
• Steam your milk in a cold pitcher until it is 160°F, and remember to never remove the wand from the foam during the steaming process because that will create bubbles.
• To create a leaf pattern in your latte art, pour your steamed milk at an angle into your cup until it is two thirds full.
• Finish by slowly moving your wrist back and forth as you pour to create the leaf pattern in the foam.
• Finish by pouring the rest of your milk through the leaf pattern without disturbing it.

This is a wonderful skill to learn as an espresso lover and barista, and you can use it to impress all of your friends!
