Lets continue with the use of your machine and choice on espresso!

Ok in the coffee world we have the McDonalds of coffee :starbucks: then we have our gourmet coffee houses that take care of the customer and actually like their work and know coffee  So happy meal or porter house??( for the vegans soy banana bread or meat?) You get the idea!

Ok so lets start!

I suggest getting a latté mug, they are perfect for brewing a simple latte and can also help with your latte art! Normally its 2 shots of espresso (I add a packet of granulated sugar) then fill the cup up with steamed milk KEEPING The foam out! Some people use half and half your choice!

Here is my picture of a simple and easy design that takes a few try’s to learn!

When you are adding your milk, wait until the cup is half full, then start to go back and fourth as you are pouring. This will create the shape of the leaf and the veins. Then you are going start big and go back and fourth smaller and smaller until you hit the top which should be a tip or a point. Then go all the way down the middle and to the end. It should look like the picture above.
MY first time it looked like do poo!
This is easy fast and will generate talk and tips! Perhaps even a phone number or 2 then you can do artwork with caramel… and you won’t need a guide to help you out there ;) and I am not talking about on the drink!


The next one I helped a gentleman out, he was arguing with his lady friend and well seemed to be a little down on valentines day. So I threw this baby at them and said here is your special order you called in about!

She turned into nothing but joy, and could not believe she had someone call in a special drink for her on that special day (hope she does not read this) he gave me a 10$ tip and said I saved the day..



To pour a heart pattern, shake as before without moving backwards as much. Form a ringed circle then slowly pour milk through the center to make a multi-layered heart. You can write love or anything in it but we will get to that later it is more advanced, lets start with shapes 

TIP: Try this with water first as water does not have the same consistency but will help you practice the method so when you do use milk you will get familiar with what you are going to be doing.. and well that saves a bunch of milk.

TIP: Also try using a wide mouth cup it will expand surface area and make it an easier task, and give you your desired results!
