I love the highlighted “no cuts” feature of this video. That should become a thing on UA-cam, if it isn’t already. I find it super annoying when people slice up a video so much that it isn’t even clear what they actually did (it's just clear what they wanted you to _think_ they did and the amazing result they got). Thanks for the great video.
One crucial tip for those who have violent steamers (like my Silvia): Begin with the tip generously dipped under, wait for the milk swirl to calm down, then raise to aerate. Otherwise you get a lot of large bubbles in the beginning, and you will have no idea where the surface is.
Thanks! I'll try. Maybe this is why I've never gotten what I want, even after watching and following dozens of tutorials like this, saying the exact same thing. Omg! I hope this is finally the key. Haha. Because I feel like I have some sort of anti-foaming curse. Haha... The one time I got great steamed milk, it was on a different machine, not mine, so maybe it's what you say. Thanks!
@@sebastianlargsob2500chances are, it’s just your steamer! The quality of your steamer makes a huge difference in your finished product. You’ll never be able to match what your coffee shop gives you without a seriously nice machine. Most espresso machines under $150 have a pretty cheap steam wand.
Seeing it in real time really helped me understand why my milk was only foamy on top. Too many bubbles, not enough texturing time before it got too hot. Thank you so much!
Best tutorial i’ve come across on here! After 2 years of owning my espresso machine I can finally steam silky milk and make a heart on my coffees. Thank you so much
@@epmcgee True, i agree with this. I don't know why other coffee channels and their audience think they're doing something unworldly. The snobbery turns me off as well.
@@Goldenbrown.coffeeHey! idk how often you check comments, but if you set your youtube short uploads to not notify your subscribers, it’s a lot better for the algorithm because you get more watch time from new people discovering your account vs inactive subscribers. 🤙
This video literally!!! helped me so much i went from struggling to now being able to steam right every time 😭😭 you don’t understand my gratitude 🙏 im so happy
I just started working at a coffee shop and I'm binge watching a bunch of videos like this. Thank you! My trainer said my streaming was really good for a beginner. 🥰✨
important to add: purge the wand immediately after you finish steaming the milk AND wipe it down with a cloth. This prevents the milk from building up over time with the small film of fat left behind
Thank you. This technique really worked. After spending less than a minute watching this short, as my coffee brewed, and then duplicating the technique exactly as demonstrated, I just had the most delicious cup of coffee I ever made. LIFE…CHANGED!
pro tip for new baristas like me watching this video: when he says "3-5 seconds of aeration" you want to aim for 2-3 seconds of aeration since the steam pressure of a commercial machine will be much higher than one used in a machine in a home-kitchen like shown in this video.
I think the key part for me was the texturing part. I thought dropping the wand was for distributing the already incorporated air bubbles but I wasn't aware of breaking the big bubbles into smaller one so I would spend much more time adding air to milk. Thanks!
How long did it take to do it the right way? Although today was my first day doing it,I did it more than 4 times but still don't have the better hang of it.
Never before in my digital life has a single video made me subscribe on first instance, but this is just quality teaching, visuals and audio! Getting to the point and not milking ;)
Wow!! I just found your channel accidentally yesterday and this is a fantastic tutorial!! You actually told us how many seconds to incorporate air, that's important because I've been winging it and make crappy coffees and haven't used my machine in 3 years
Finally!!! You guys never fail me @GoldenBrownCoffee its like you guys read my troubles I've been dealing with and a video pops up of what's gonna help me!!! Top Tier indeed!!!! #COFFEEUP👍👍👍👍
Fantastic tutorial! I would like to add that steaming methods vary depending on how many holes the steam wand tip has. I couldn't get the milk texture right for the longest time at my coffee shop job until I discovered that there was a whole different technique for four hole steam wand tips!
This is so so helpful my friends, thank you very much for the great advice! Happy owner of a Gaggia Classic Pro here and I've been struggling with the milk steaming... Personally I find dialing in espresso easier than getting the milk texture right 😅😂
Few extras I would add: Purge and clean the wand directly after using For the machines I've worked with, it's good to cup your hand over the top of the jug and give the jug a light thud on the bench to get rid of excess bubbles before you swirl Swirl and pour directly to prevent the foam separating out I find it easier to bring my non dominant hand off and on the jug to judge temperature and unless you are and experienced batista or have high heat tolerance, the milk probably needs maybe a second longer than when it is too hot to touch Don't use a thermometer. They get out very easily and tend to have a bit of a lag
Simple, straightforward tutorial. I've just replaced my Delonghi's steam wand by a Rancillo and realized it's not so easy. I'll apply your tips next time. Cheers
I had a DeLonghi Dedica and thought it was really hard too. Sold it, went back to getting coffee at a cafe again. I just got a Sage Bambino 3 weeks ago to give it another chance and I've had success from the second time on. I don't have the skills to produce latte art yet but my milk is silky, smooth microfoam and tastes amazing in the coffee every single time. If it takes you another month or two give it a thought to replace the Dedica with the Bambino.
This is not neccessary in our country, but some of my colleagues that know this judge me as a "idk how to steam milk"-guy. Neither when I asked them how, they wouldn't explain it like this guy did. Everything was half assed explanation. You got a sub!
Very helpful! My issue is that if I spin the milk that long my fingers would burn. Are you using a special tip, or lower steam power to do it that long?
For sure when you have a high power dual boiler machine single boiler lower pressure machines take a lot more finesse and aeration to achieve nice milk for lates
I work at a coffee shop and they train us on the job where I work, so I’ve been learning and steaming milk I did very well first time I made a latte, but it’s hard replicating that. So this video is really great so I know specifically what I must’ve done that first time! 😅😂
This was precise. Do you not need to drop it in deeper for just heating up? The texturing part seems to inadvertently capture some air too so I find dropping it well below the surface after texturing helpful.
I was having this same thought. I feel it takes much longer to heat up the milk if I don't at some point drop the wand to the bottom or half way. Atleast that's how I was taught in the coffee shops I worked in before.
Finally someone who knows how to teach! You've explained it perfectly that i now
understand how it should be done! Thank you!
Thank you! That’s so nice of you to say. Glad I could help 🙌🏻
totally agree
Agreed. I’ve watched dozens of videos on the subject and this is definitely the most succinct
Wow.. I'm trying tomorrow..❤from newbie
They forgot the thermometer
No unnecessary annoying music, straight and short tutorial. Thankyou.

I always start with just the tip generously, until the milk comes swirling down. So I’m good!

so basically backwards then in this video.

Same here man. I'm gonna try it though 😅
Same happening here. How do you do the texturing though? Cuz I tried to follow the exact steps like here, but still don't have this silky texture..
Best tutorial i’ve come across on here! After 2 years of owning my espresso machine I can finally steam silky milk and make a heart on my coffees. Thank you so much
Bro how are you not getting more traction. These vids are really good!
Thank you! As long as I’m helping someone I’m happy 💪🏻
Hard to gain traction in a space where the audience is primed to think you're a snob, even if you're not, because of other espresso content creators.

What do you mean with purge? Let a bit more steam out right?

Thank yoooouuuuu this really helped ❣️❣️ finally someone who made it clear how much air to add, that is my biggest problem
I wasn't trying to learn this but you explained that really well
Lol same
Thank you!!! Finally a video that was easy to understand! Nailed it ❤
very nice tutorial
Thank you, great tutorial ever !!!!!
Better explained than that?! impossible! Thank you Sir! you're the best!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks so much, you've made my day ! ☕️☕️
This was extremely helpful!
finally someone say the best way 🙏🙏😍
My mistake was not incorporating the rips of air for 3-5 seconds, and it was just flat and not texture. Thanks!!! Video saved
Finally got it! Thanks! ☕️
I’ve seen soo many videos, I was able to get it correct but this has to be the easiest and simplest way. You’re Amazing!!!
Omg thank uuu so much been struggling since yesterday.. thank uuuu

Works like a charm, thank you !!
Great video. I was pretty good at steaming milk already but this is a game changer.
I'm literally watching this on my first shift thank you hahaha
I’ve watched a bunch of tutorials on this and have been making trash lattes for months, until finally seeing this one!
Oh I’m so excited to try this!!!!!! Thank you !!!!
Thanks! I like to watch videos on milk so this made me happy

Thank you very much sir! 😃😊
Great video thanks man!
You can practice with some water and a drop of dish soap😄
Or, you know..MILK!
but when someone is first learning this is an excellent way to not ruin milk. 🙂
Thank you so much needed this 😊

Like actually, this video is great. Thank you

Just perfect! 👏
Thank you sir.
Thanks for this av been four tips and am so perfect now brother
Amazing! Thanks
Thank you!
THANK YOU!
I’ll have it pointing left for that counterclockwise whirl, feeling rebellious 😂
That only works in the southern hemisphere. In the northern hemisphere you’ll make butter with a counter clockwise whirl. That’s just science. 😂

Thanks bro
Thank you!!!!! 🙏
So simple thanks to you and James Hoffman. Any tips for using low fat milk 😊
Thaaaaaaaannnnnnk youuuu

I don’t even own a milk steamer. I subscribe.
No cuts….until the end when the actual texture forms, lol.
This video was the perrrrfect length
Good tutorial for steam milk to make a foam
Perfect milk frothing, good for latte art 😊,
Love to see this, thank you! I wish we could see the angle better from your viewpoint to see how much you’re tilting your jug.
For how long do you steam it?
You have to get the milk about 60-65°C, right?
When do you know it's ready?
I learned myself before i watch your video but thanks 👍
Lol okay?
New subscriber here ❤
Thank you
good
Thank u 🙏
Thanks buddy
I've been struggling with my new home machine ❤
What kind of milk do you use? Good video!
exactly the kind of vid I was looking for. time to try and recreate with a microwave and frother 😅
Very helpful! My issue is that if I spin the milk that long my fingers would burn. Are you using a special tip, or lower steam power to do it that long?
For sure when you have a high power dual boiler machine single boiler lower pressure machines take a lot more finesse and aeration to achieve nice milk for lates
Most importantly… immediately clean the wand!!!

What kind of milk is best to use? Is skimmed milk as good to use, as the more fat milk? And what about oatmilk products? ☺️
Ok i dont know much lol but everyone ive been watching says to use whole milk if you can since it works the best
