Top Three – Latte Art Tips To Improve Instantly

Latte art was my first love... when it came to getting into coffee. There's something so appealing and calming to the process, but it is indeed a process.

Damn Fine Tutorial – The Inverted Tulip

Damn Fine Tutorial – The Winged Heart

Hearts are great... but let's face it, a winged heart is better.  On the last latte art tutorial I walked you through creating a rippled tulip.  This is basically the same, in terms of the base, but instead has just a happy little heart on top.  When you're pouring this design think of yourself as the...

Damn Fine Tutorial: Latte Art Edition – The Standard Swan

When I think of Swans... I think of that scene in Billy Madison.  When I started progressing in latte art the Swan seemed like such a technical and unapproachable pour.  Yet, as I began to become more and more consistent with my milk texture and understanding the dynamics of flow it really came pretty quickly.

Milk steaming consistently... is by far one of the skills that took me the longest to grasp.  It's also a skill that I've found is somewhat challenging to teach.  As a visual learner I've found videos and watching long-time baristas more helpful than anything else.  With that being said practice make permanent, so prepare yourself to...
