I feel like I’m improving in some areas, but the overall result still keeps falling apart somehow.
At this point I’m honestly not even sure what the main problem is anymore — milk texture? pouring timing? cup angle?
Some attempts look close to working, then suddenly the pattern disappears or turns messy.
After all the practice (and all the advice from you guys), I finally poured my best big white heart so far!
Still not super clean or symmetrical yet, but compared to my earlier attempts, this already feels like huge progress 😭
I’m starting to understand milk texture and pouring height a bit more now, although consistency is still really hard. Some days it works, some days it completely falls apart 😂
Another practice attempt after trying the advice you guys gave me last time.
I think it’s definitely improved compared to before — at least the heart is finally facing the right direction now 😅
Still a long way to go though, especially with getting cleaner lines and a more defined shape. Any additional tips are welcome!
Also wanted to ask something: are those espresso machines with automatic milk frothing actually worth buying?
I’m still learning latte art, and part of me wonders if an auto-frothing machine would help consistency, or if it’s better to keep learning manual steaming from the beginning. Would love to hear your experiences or recommendations!
Back again，I tried raising the pitcher like you all suggested, but my heart still isn’t very defined. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?Not sure if this is just a practice thing and it’ll get better with repetition, or if I’m doing something fundamentally wrong?
