PERFECT LATTE ART MILK WITH FRENCH PRESS!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- You read that right! You don't need a steam wand to make perfect texture for latte art. All you need is a good old thrift store find- the beloved French Press.
Take it out of your cupboard, because we have repurposed this device!

Thanks!
Well that’s the first time I’ve ever seen someone chug a latte before… and I loved it.
i dont believe you
him chugging the whole thing also got me 😂
More videos like this please.
😂
I chugged way to many before this video
Making advanced coffee experiences available for everyone via cheap devices is exactly what the coffee community needs! Thank you so much for your incredible videos :)
Awesome! So glad anything I do can be seen as helpful
Only about 20 seconds into the video and so far this guys Vibes are Immaculate.
Watching Lance's latte art videos and his espresso art vid, he has the magic wand to draw beautiful art with whatever liquids and methods. I'm looking forward to seeing him doing orange juice art, coke art, and, ultimately, water art.
Oh I will. Just you wait!
hahaha water art would be amazing
With some french presses, the lid stops you from going down far enough into the milk to break up all the bubbles but you can just unscrew the little knob at the top and take the lid off for more range! Plus you can get some presses where the body is just plastic and glass with the shaft of the plunger being the only metal bit so you can put it right into the microwave to heat your milk and froth in one device!
oh, that's a smarter idea than what i did. the knob on the top of mine was made of wood, so i just.... shaved it down so wouldn't hit the lid so early.
Great tips here! Thanks for sharing
That's what I do with mine. taking the lid off makes it so much easier. I buy a small plastic body french press for £5 ($7) in the UK, so I can put it straight into the microwave. Works brilliantly.
But you don't really need to get down that much, in this video he doesn't neither
Is french press capacity important?
I've been doing this for a while and does work very well. It is great to transfer the milk to another device to break up the big bubbles. Thanks for a another great video.
Exactly! I've found that going straight to the pitcher suffices but it wouldn't hurt to go to another. Just preheat everything!
Won’t be surprised to see you make silky milk with a hand whisk! 🙌🙌
Now I've gotta try it
This worked so well! I’ve been having trouble making latte art with my rancilio, but this worked on the first try. Thank you for teaching us!
This is gonna inspire millions around the world!
Aylardır deniyorum. Tutmayan kremam tuttu. Çok teşekkürler. Harika bir öğreticisin ❤
I've needed this in my life for so long! I get pretty good results with my french press but I've wanted to try to make it better. Turns out I'm just putting in too much air 😅
Haha! Yeah. That's definitely the biggest issue I've seen. Either that or not churning long enough.
i think im doing the same, too much froth and not enough silkyness lol
Originally found your channel when I was looking for videos to help my girlfriend with latte art.
Since we didn't have a espresso machine a cheap french press was the solution.
So this is exactly the video I would have needed then, great job as always dude.
Fantastic! So glad you enjoyed it. I hope it takes your drinks to the next level!
Didn't know that this could be so simple. I watched James Hoffman's video on using french press for steam milk and though that was helpful, your video really goes into details and with great demonstration too.
that's where I just came from too! 😂 love this guy's energy and explanation!
Always think that I can't do Latte art because I don't have good milk streamer .
Now i know that because I don't have skill lol.
Good job indeed. Thank for sharing.
Haha! You can learn the skill. I believe in you!
I've been doing this for the past 6 months, works like a charm!
Heck yeah! It's so great.
There's a moment during that "sip" where you can tell from the look in your eyes that you have decided to end that drink's existence.
That is 100% accurate. Not premeditated at all. Hilarious you noticed it
I think it's worth mentioning that the nanofoamer works very similarly. Both use a fine screen to cut up the big bubbles.
The nanofoamer uses the impeller to push the foam to the screen. With the French press you push/pull the screen into the foam.
Yep. I have a video on the nf. And did the class for nf lol
@@LanceHedrick Do you prefer either of the methods(nf or fp)?
Hello bro it's really works you are the only one who teach the proper how to use French press after failing so many times I found you video and I try same like yours and what it's work thanks you for the honest video....
Thank you! With this video and your two “10 common mistakes” video I was finally able to draw a heart for the first time!!! Over the moon
This video just showed up while I'm waiting my water to make a french press coffee. Perfect timing!
Haha! That's awesome. Thank you for watching!
Oh mylanta! Thank you Lance. Snow day fun day on the eastern seaboard here!
Haha heck yeah! Snow days are fun days so hopefully this makes it a double fun double yum day
It is extremely rare for me to hit the notification bell, I did it for Lance ... and it is an automatic like from me ... thanks for the video!
Was actually pretty impressed. Didn’t think you could get that good a texture and definition on the latte art with this method. You got mad skills!
Your energy is immaculate! Thanks for making such awesome videos.
Haha! Thank you! It it is often criticized so feels good to see the occasional compliment lol
3:56. That escalated quickly. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
I'm all about quick escalation. Live for the adrenaline.
Dude, this was empowering. Not able to buy a machine right now... so thank you! I let the ads play all the way without clicking skip. Hopefully that makes you a little more money, LOL!
I took an espresso shot every time he said silky milky. I think my heart just stopped.
I’ve wanted this to work for a long time this is a blessing
Haha! Absolutely. I hope you get it first try!
I was having issues with foam coming out first, and thin milk after, I'm definitely going to try shifting the containers to keep the foam on top
Thanks sir for your information I have used French press to make latte art but need more practice
Silky milky merch when?!
At 100k subs. Let's do this
I now understand what I was doing wrong - I was smashing that milk like I was trying to bring it to climax instead of doing the one-two and then breaking the bubbles for that silky milky. Just sending the latte was great.
This is so ace. I've used this method a lot at home in the past (especially the beginning of lock down haha) but now I know I could have done it better. I'll remember that for next time 👌
Definitely! No need for an expensive set up to get some nice milky
My favorite shop in Seoul when I lived there - Chans Bros, if you’re out there, we miss you! - would use this technique on cold milk for his ice cappuccinos and it was revelatory for me like 10 years ago.
Oh yes! Cold milk foam is so fun.
This is what i do for years, but you taught me a new technique 👍🏼 Me gusta!
Perfect! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thanks Lance for revealing a big secret!😊 I learned latte art watching your videos! You take time & explain in detail it makes a big difference 🙏🏼🤍👍🏼
Awesome! Will be trying this! And the sweater is NOT tacky, btw..... ; )
Haha! Thank you! So glad you enjoyed the video
Subscribed - for nothing other than the chaotic energy
Thank you, bro, I learned a lot from this video. 🥳
From someone that is just starting as a barista, you my man rock! I really enjoy all your videos since they're educational, funny and they have that special something-something - typical Lance touch haha.
Keep it up dude!
I do this method using good milk powder. This way, i only need to heat the water with my kettle. Stop it kalfway, pour the water on to the french press, then put the kettle back to boil and meanwhile i'm making great milk. From the foaming action you make completely sure it's perfectly incorporated, and you could never tell it was milk powder in the first place. You basically foam milk while solving the greatest problem of milk powder, achieving great dilution
I love your energy and jokes! 😆 and this is such a clever way of making the latte art!!! (I failed my steam wand today and here I am watching your videos) 😁
*Silky milky!* ™️
Hahaha, i love this channel! That moment when you drank the entire cup made me smile big time! The sad part is, your French Press latte art is phenomenally better than my “regular” latte art with a steam wand ;-). BUT, i practice everyday… maybe one day I’ll master it!
try with cold milk and you can make great iced caps. since its not heated its very unstable foam so drink it quickkkk :)
Thanks Lance this video 💯 milkied my day!!
Thank you! Appreciate it
😆got so much in such a short vid!wasn't ready for it all but thanks a ton! How pre steam wand me would have KILLED for this knowledge bomb
If only I could have that level of energy with just coffee XD great video Lance
Haha! Performing gives me a little extra boost caffeine can't give me
The most practical practice. Most of the vids on the same subject don't even mention the tip on not touching the milk surface much as a result of making foamy milk more suitable for capuccino not latte!
I must now accept that Lance can macguyver a better silky milky than I can with my actual espresso machine steam wand.
Hahaha just years of obsession
Love your sweater!
Thank you so much!
Thank you Lance!
And thank YOU pepe!
Here's a silky milky! Love your videos and charisma.
Thank you! Appreciate greatly your time in leaving the comment
The last minute is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you so much! 😃😃😃 A way to practice latte art
Perfect! So glad that was helpful
Wonderful video! Thanks Lance!
Thank you so much! Means a lot
Your latte art videos are the best on the internet. It would be extremely helpful if you told us what cups you were pouring into in each video and how big they are.
Hey! I'm always pouring into cups between 5 and 6 ounces, so around 160-200ml.
I don't disclose the cups because most I use are discontinued
Holy shit man here is your silkymilky i owe you ☕. The texture is just fucking perfect even with alternative milk. Cheers.
Thanks, Lance and hello from Mother Russia (try to read that without strong Russian accent😂). I've got Lelit Elizabeth at home for my Latte arts, but not I "GOTS to buy that French Press and try it"😆
"Gonna take a little sip"
Invoke camel mode..
🤣
SK!LLZ!!!
That truly looks great! 👌
Thanks! Easy and affordable. Just the way I like it.
Yay! Silky Milky!😍
The 3 big pushes make all the difference...awesome tip! Also those cups seem great, what brand is it?
Silky milky shiki-miki
By experience I could say that Lance tips are always useful and it is a really cheap but powerful way to start on Latte Art as always you Lance rocking!
hahahaha did not expect you to drink it all at once!
Have a Silky Milky! Looking forward to Silky Milky merch.
OMG thank you! Now I can practice my latte art at home 😍
It would be nice, if you make a blind tasting video of late from various method( French press, nanofoamer, steam wand etc)
Awesome! time to head over to a friend and start impressing with this technique + gold blend instant coffee!
Please attack the G-Iota/Solo/DF64 grinder next! I'd love to see your inputs/tips/tricks!🙏
One tip is to get a french press with no metal parts, or which the glass can be removed. Then the whole french press can enter the microwave to warm the milk. Makes the workflow and thermal management way easier.
Ohhhhhhh very nice! Didn't want to complicate the video so I just used the one on the shelf lol
Silky milky, may your coffee never be silty.
No silt, no s*it. Only silk.
Do you heat the milk to a certain temperature before putting it into the press? Thanks for your expertise
I try to heat it to around 140F
@@LanceHedrick How do you heat milk?
Total beginner here
Either microwave or stove. I'm lazy and Toss it in the microwave for a minute in a mug then transfer to press
Good vibes in this video lol
Haha! Thank you. Was feeling good
I always do a few big pumps and then several short, quick pumps to get that silky milky. Seriously, french press method is way better than those cheap frother that just spins and incorporates air; they make way too stiff of a foam. If you don't have an expensive steam wand, french press is the second best to make these micro foams.
What's the smallest amount of milk I could use to do this??? I like a teeny tiny macchiato :) Thank you for the fun and educational content!
That's exactly how I drink my Latte too :)
Hahaha! You really get the nuances this way
Lance is on, gotta press the like button right away!
Haha! Thank you so much for the support!
I want a “homogenize the bubs“ tshirt
Hahaha! Im screenshotting this for later
Thanks for this Silky Milky tip 🫶🏻
Lance: I'm gonna take a sip
*"PROCEEDS TO GULP DOWN"*
dude that's amazing!!!
Worked great also with hot oat milk ! First time I get silky milky oat ! :)
Oh heck yeah! Thanks for letting me know! Have had many questions haha
Lance, you rock.
Haha thank you so much!
Love the dance, laughed at you gulping them all and love the covid powder trick!
Haha covid powder. Someone has been typing covid a lot for cocoa to spell check to covid! Lol
@@LanceHedrick stupid autocorrect 😑 yeah our cases are going up like mad and it's a new normal for us.
Yeah same here in Arkansas. Really sucks. Making these to force people to stay home and practice lol
@Lance Hedrick hahaha a super great idea! We're voluntarily locking ourselves at home too just to minimise the risk. Too many cafes are not able to open because of staff shortages due to being close contacts, isolation, etc
This reminds me of that trend of fluffed espresso....I forget what they called it...🤪
I was trying this and my wife saw me and gave me the side eye. She asked me what I was doing. When I told her I was making the Silky Milky, she just walked away shaking her head.
Did I say something wrong? I don't get it. ☹️
Hahahahaha say ur churning butter. Always works
turn up and down hand fast =)))) reality to make foam give her
Silky milky. Wish I could draw like you!
Thank you! And you will over time!
3:57 a sip are you kidding me 🤣🤣🤣
A Lance sip. It's a thing
may i know at what temp did you heat up the milk to ? I need to try this. thank you
4:07 "it's a bit nutty" -austin powers
Shagadelic, baby!
That works better than the Nanofoamer
Silky milky title for the notification gang and latte art milk for the uninitiated
Ya know, you think you know someone and then they don’t drink the cocoa powder latte. 🤣 that woulda been too far. Great vid keep it up Lance!
silky milky with frenchy pressy
The frenchiest of pressies only
Just awesome, thank you
Could you do a tutorial on how to make microfoam with one of those milk frothing wands that every department store seems to have?
You have a specific one in mind?
@@LanceHedrick Any of the generic battery handheld frother/foamers, please & tq
E.G. “BODUM Schiuma Stainless Steel Turbo Milk Whip”
Thank you sir for thia video you made
“Like a biscuit risin’” 😂
Haha! Muffin topped capp there folks
Churning the butter. 🤣. Love these videos Lance and keep them coming. You make it look easy and very talented.
Been doing the french press like this for a while now and recently got a belllman. Not sure if you have access to a bellman but would be cool to see your process there.
I use a handgrinder for my Hand lever Flair. If I add a French press for frothing milk: that‘s a full workout. :-)
Haha! Gotta get that early morning cardio!
I do hand grind, flair, french press AND i roast on a Hive 👌 all manual team
I have a flair and really appreciate this technique. Any preferred method for heating the milk?
Depends on the microwave but for me about 200 mils of milk gets to the right temperature after 65 seconds on high
I guess I should clarify that I typically use 2% milk, so it’s probably a little bit less for whole milk
Stan's advice is solid. Around 150ish ml for me at 60sec for whole milk but depends on microwave. Can also do stove with a thermometer to 140F
