If you enjoyed the video, please take 2 seconds to like and subscribe! Asking is gross, and addressing that is cliche, but it really helps! Thanks for all the support.
Done and done. You are doing some great videos, you deserve way more subscribers. Much as a I like my fellow countryman James Hoffman, you are way more engaging and laid back, keep up the good work.
It is near unbelievable how many of Lance's videos I write, "This is the best video I have ever watched on the topic." After years of watching 100+ hours on latte art I still cannot make anything not resembling the dairy version of The Blob. One video - a single Lance video - I've made my wife smile with latte art. You are the best coffee teacher Lance. Hands Down!
I know many viewers would've said this before and would keep on saying it in future, but Lance, I've just got to say it to you now. Been watching so many latte art videos but never practical... till now. Yours is the best way of guidance so far, just like having a personal trainer right beside, pointing out mistakes and correcting as one struggles to practice. A great instructor, for students know when they're improving. A great video, a great job!
Very interesting. It’s funny how when you try to make mistakes, you still get a design that is much better than i can get when i try to make a good design.
every time I see something wrong with my latte art as beginner I always find the solution here with these just 2 video. these are just ultimate guide for me. I have watched these video dozens of time and still its feel like I'm still learning from these. I can't thank you enough lance. keep up good work buddy.
I am currently employed by Blue Bottle Coffee and this channel is amazing for people like me, who work in coffee industry and looking to get to the next level with their craft
Lance- in 15 minutes you just improved 1000s and 1000s of pours. Outstanding, detailed, pointed tips. You’re a phenomenal instructor- I’m on to my pour to correct #s 1 and 2 ASAP. Thank you! Keep at it you rock!!
I've been a barista for two months now and my latte art is starting to take shape. This video's great. So detailed with mistakes I've never heard of ! Looking forward to improving with these in mind :))
Brilliant video! Covering the common mistakes is extremely helpful, because if we watch how-to videos and just try to do it, we are definitely going to be making mistakes and not knowing what they are. Your video production quality is getting better and better as well. Thanks for making this!
I really appreciate you making an honest portayal of how the mistake looks. I've seen other videos basically moking bad technique and I can't actually identify if I'm doing that.
Can't tell you how much your videos have changed my technique for the better. No one has the detailed explanation and thoroughness like you do. Thanks!
You my friend are a gem! Thank you for these vids and future content! The coffee community appreciates you graciously sharing your gifts for the rest of us! Cheers! ☕
I've been looking for this for so long!! Finally I know my biggest mistake and how to fix it 😄 I'm a fast pourer but too fast I need to slow down just a little bit. Always end on a swirl 🍭 Good tip. I'm out of practice due to endless lockdowns here in Melbourne Australia but you've inspired me to fire up my home machine and start practising again 🥰
Lol I just started as a Barista at Blue Bottle and I’ve literally made all of these mistakes. I’ve honestly learned so much with this tutorial! Thank you!
Lance, this video was AMAZING. Thank you so much! So clear, so helpful, so educational. And, we see you, we see the production level rising up!! Keep it up king!!
Purchased my first Slow Pour pitcher and love it! Even better quality than expected and beautiful bright blue color. Fast shipping and box containing the pitcher was gift wrapped! Thank you Lance and Slow Pour!
It was Professor Clump in the hallway with the candlestick for sure! I really enjoyed this video. Thank you. Of course some practical advice sprinkled in was awesome too. Especially the milk texturing advice where I should get all the air in before feeling the warmth. Pretty soon I will not suck at this!
This is the best latte art video I’ve seen! You are the best! I used to work in cafes for a short time and I got my first coffee machine last week, it is a good home use machine but still very different to a commercial used one, means more difficult for beginners like me! I just couldn’t find out what is the reason my latte art is not getting right, now I think I find the answer! Can’t wait to try it tomorrow!
This is one of the best demonstration ever and this is the mistakes that I have make since I start my batista from day one . And this video help me continue to do so good job and thank 😊 you very much buddy much appreciate 🙏
First, I love how your academic side shows up in the way you structure your arguments and videos like this in general. Helps me a bunch to sort things in my head. Bravo! Second, do you have an overview of what size pitcher you should use for which size cup?
For the most part, and excuse my stupid use of the imperial system, but 12oz pitcher for 5oz-8oz, 20oz pitcher for 10oz-16oz. For cortados, I like the bb 10oz pitcher
I don’t get people who unlike videos like this? What were you expecting? Great content! Keep up the good work Lance! I watch every video. Between you and Dady Off I feel covered in all aspect of coffee knowledge!
What an awesome way to start a Friday morning. Thank you for continuing to make these amazing videos Lance! They have been an invaluable resource for a barista like myself who's trying to up their game. Keep up the great work!
Your videos are great. I love your approach and the way you methodically explain and demonstrate both the proper techniques and the mistakes. I think anyone that hopes to teach any skill-based activity could glean some insight from your videos.
I'm left speechless. This is amazing! Where was this video 4 years ago when I was learning latte art?! Too many beginner guides on the web, not enough advanced guides.
Great video! Can you share the specific measurements as well? Ex: what size cup is used, how much espresso, size of milk pitcher, and how much milk. I love how detailed your videos are, and I’m trying to control as many parameters as I can and so I can focus just on my skill when watching your steps and attempting to replicate!
This whole time i couldn't figure out why my initial pour wasn't flowing but just piling up. i tried for weeks to make ripples but if there is no flow, no ripples form. i thought I might be pouring to slow but then speed it up and the cup is full before im done. literally your first tip on mistakes was exactly what i was experiencing. Im always afraid i never add enough air but i think i have been adding too mucn (7seconds of airating) and we always have left over milk in the pitcher that we have to re use later. I seperate the foam after its set but the milk is hot past the point of airating. This explains everything. Less is more! Thank you for your time and efforts into helping us improve
Hey Lance! Hopefully you can address milk splitting in the next video. I can pour decent shapes 7/10 times but I have problems when steaming for 2 drinks and then splitting the milk. Usually one drink ends up pretty foamy and the other one pretty thin. Thanks man!
Try transferring the milk to the correct size pitcher with a wiggling motion; or try transferring half of the milk and then returning 1/4 of that 1/2 back
Taps are OK if they are small, little taps. There is just a fascination with absolutely BANGING the pitcher i've noticed at shops and with people i'm training. hope this helps!
Thank you again for such amazing videos. I just learned I pour too fast. Your videos are so educational and helpful. Also great camera work and editing. Time for me to join patreon.
You’re amazing Lance. Thanks so much for these. Can’t wait for the next video. Have you done any videos on how to stop channeling? Just got a new naked portafilter and have noticed my espresso is spraying and sometimes channeling.
I know I’m not lance but just thought I’d offer a few tips that helped me! 1. What’s the age of your beans? I started getting really bad channeling starting around 21 days from roasting date and didn’t know why til I did a bunch of research. I’ve found that 5-17 days from roast date is kind of the sweet spot for pulling espresso shots. 2. How even is your tamp? Filming yourself tamping and watching back can help a lot with ensuring an even tamp. 3. Don’t knock your tamper after tamping! I used to do this to get coffee off the sides of the portafilter, but I stopped after I found that this can cause tiny cracks in the tamp and lead to channeling. Honestly, addressing these three things alone dramatically reduced my channeling woes :) good luck, happy tamping!
@@Lbradham123 thanks so much for the reply Linc. I think my beans are definitely a little old at the moment so I will look at that. Those tips are great! I appreciate the reply
Watched ur quick review on steaming milk as was having issues with texture and mixing the milk. The steam wand position has made big difference using my gaggia classic. Cheers. Still a working progress on design
Thanks for watching! I love the C40, have heard great things about the Kinu, and I have a timemore on the way. tune into my Instagram! I post frequently there.
Hey Lance. I liked and subscribed and wanted to say you are a phenomenal teacher and I feel blessed to have stumbled into your mastery and virtual foam art dojo! 🥋 cannot wait to apply these principles. Do you have a video in which you discuss tools? Specifically, pouring cups, coffee cups, espresso makers and steamers, etc?
If you enjoyed the video, please take 2 seconds to like and subscribe! Asking is gross, and addressing that is cliche, but it really helps! Thanks for all the support.
Thank you!
Done and done. You are doing some great videos, you deserve way more subscribers. Much as a I like my fellow countryman James Hoffman, you are way more engaging and laid back, keep up the good work.
The issue with steaming milk for me is I never know when I am done aerating and usually am too much or too little
Done for both!!! Great video btw 👍🏻
When Lance's mistakes look better than your perfection 😂
I've got a lot more practice to do
haha! I've been doing this a while. No sweat!
exactly what i was thinking myself lol...
Ha! Every single "mistake" is orders of magnitude better than my most successful attempts.
Oh goodness haha! It's that whole "make your mistakes better" key to success that got me to be successful in comp. Just been doing it a while!
Hahaha for real!!!!! He's trying to mess up!!! Hahaha
This has been the most useful video that ACTUALLY brought new things to the table instead of being repetitive like other videos online. Thanks Lance 👌
Incredible! Thanks so much for the support and watching.
Agreed and also funny watching him try to pour badly, like the skilled marksman trying to miss his target but you can’t hide the skill lol
Haha! I tried to make it as helpful as I could
Lance Hedrick you do very well, Iv had your basics vid on repeat and it helped (in my spare time I do the whole food colouring and soapy water thing)
It is near unbelievable how many of Lance's videos I write, "This is the best video I have ever watched on the topic."

Just when i thought i had it down after watching one of your vids, Ultimate guide to latte art, you show this one.
First, I love how your academic side shows up in the way you structure your arguments and videos like this in general. Helps me a bunch to sort things in my head. Bravo!

That rocks! Thank you for the support, friend!
Thanks, Lance. I learn so much watching your videos. I've probably been tapping too much to pop bubbles.
Taps are OK if they are small, little taps. There is just a fascination with absolutely BANGING the pitcher i've noticed at shops and with people i'm training. hope this helps!
What the heck, this is so good! Godly. Thank you!

Your pen is giving me LIFE.
Hahaha! I always have to have something to fidget with
Well shoot, I didn't realize mistake number one was a mistake....now things are starting to make sense! Thanks Lance!
lol! Glad it was helpful. Look out for part two!
Thank you for your tips, I'm hearing a lot of things that make sense and will help me starting off with my latte art journey ❤
This is the most informative video ever I wish I knew this stuff before omg
Haha thank you! So glad you enjoyed it
Incredible video! one of my favorites!!!! Thanks Lance

Fantastic! That is so good to hear. Thanks for sharing!
That is specific and to the point. Very helpful
Thank you! Next one dropping soon
Really helpful as always. Bonus points for the finger guns.
Always have to throw down the finger guns hahaha

Awesome, Lance! Looking forward to pt. 2!
Thanks, Kay! Part 2 we get into some more difficult mistakes. Cheers!
So incredibly helpful. Thanks.
Thanks Lance!
thanks for watching and supporting!
Thank you for the video, this is just what I needed. You are a great teacher Lance!
Thank you! So glad you enjoyed it. Appreciate the support!
Great video Lance, it has helped me heaps. But can i humbly suggest that the pronunciation of “robusta” is row-bust-a.
Eh. I like to BOOST the pronunciation.
If we are getting technical, that pronunciation is incorrect, as well. The correct way is Raa-Buh-Stuh
Mate, you're so generous an thorough -- thank you so much !
Appreciate that! Thanks for the support
Thanks Lance, this tutorial will last a lifetime
That's awesome! Eyes peeled for mistake 6-10!
Great video, you are very skilful. Thank you
Another awesome video Lance, thank you. I’m looking forward to a caffeinated practice day tomorrow!
Fantastic! Best way to practice, I always say
What is caffeeinated please?
Practicing while having imbibed a lot of caffeine. If competing, it is a good way to practice for the shakes nerves give you when pressured!
Amzing, thank you Lance!
man.... u have all the answers to my questions dang
Haha I'm happy you found the videos helpful! Thanks for the support
Great video very helpful! I’ve made all these mistakes multiple times
we all have, friend! I still do!
Thanks a lot for these videos Lance, love from Tehran 🌹🙂🤞🏻☺️
Super helpful as always Lance. Thank you!
Thanks, Robert! I think part two will help you more.
Awesome stuff, per usual. Thanks Lance!
Thank you so much, Dakota!
haahaa 3:26 "see thick and clumpy" still is 100% better than my monstrosities :) Really appreciate all your time effort and info
I like how Lance casually points to the coffee with a pen.
My fingers are too sausage like. Had to use a pen 🤣
Great video! Appreciate the explanations and examples.
Thanks for watching and supporting!
"chunk, chunk, chunk, it's very chonky" (my corgi is glaring at me) , I'm like "I'm sorry????"
but anyways, I love these reminders. Thank you!'
Always perfect always funny. Thanks a lot lance!!!
Thank you! The support means a lot
