Lance may have great content, but I’ll never know because the poor sound makes this video is unwatchable. UA-camrs often talk about upgrading their cameras. I’ll often tough out poor picture quality if the sound is decent and the content is looking solid.
I legitimately think you've convinced me to go the direction of the manual espresso machine between this video and the last Flair 58 one. That machine looks like a beauty, and like it fixes the workflow issues of most manual espresso machines. I've never been interested in manual, but I think the Flair 58 looks to be my next espresso machine 👌. I had been a bit worried about foaming milk for latte art, but this looks still quite doable with a decent workflow using a milk foamer like that. As always, thanks for the videos Lance 👍
@@Tamimzzz I have, I pre-ordered the Flair58 and got it at the launch in Canada, and I ordered the nanofoamer with it. The Flair58 is everything I wanted it to be. The workflow feels great from start to finish, and I really like how much feedback you get and how much control you have while pulling shots. I basically never waste shots anymore, if I ground too finely I feel/see that right away and just let the shot bloom for a bit before pulling it as normal and that turns out fine. If I grind a touch coarse I pull at lower pressure and maybe make it a lungo, and that turns out fine. And when dialed in it's 😘👌. All of lances videos talking about different types of shots you can pull have helped me a lot with being flexible with pulling different styles. The nanofoamer works, you can make latte art with it, but it turns out for me personally, I don't like the feel of using it in my workflow. I still use it for other purposes, it's fine, but I had to keep my old/cheap espresso machine on the counter just for it's steam wand. Seperating the heating and foaming of the milk is an extra step I'm not up for first thing in the morning, and the foaming does take longer than I would like to get latte art level microfoam with the nanofoamer v1.
@SolidVauld thanks for replying in detail. I am also thinking of getting the 58 or 58+. However I have backed the Meticulous Espresso and milk and not sure if I should stick to it, giving the fact that It might end up getting delivered like next year. And do I have the patience to wait for that long. I don't have any espresso machine. So whatever i pick will be the first.
Another great / entertaining / informative video. I've been doing this for 4 months now. Except I use 3 oz cream -I Nano foam it cold (half whipped) then 15 seconds in the microwave- 19 grams/35 yield- 9Barista machine- gold son gold... No art was assaulted in making this drink!
You've helped me make a decision on my first real espresso maker. I was always thinking about automatic or semi-automatic espresso machines but you've introduced me to, and helped convince me to buy, a manual press. Thank you! Filter coffee is all I've got for now, but espresso will be coming soon!
Thanks for another eye opening video…. I never thought latte art could be done with a frother. What is great about this set up is that you can get great coffee even when travelling! Although doing 4-6 lattes with this set-up takes a while…
I have just realised why I love Lance's videos so much: the delivery is a perfect (for me) balance between ad lib and script. Like being in a classroom with a very experienced teacher. Oh wait, that's what this is! 😊
I subscribed! I've been on the fence about the Flair 58, but pretty much ready to pull the trigger now after watching these two videos, and some others out there. Will use that and a Bellman steamer. Time to level up from the Aeropress... Cheers, and thanks for the timely, well produced, and very helpful videos.
Lance, just purchased a 58+. My daughter has one of this $10 frothers. It’s creates lots of turbulence so I may be good with it. Would you still recommend their frother? Man, I wish someone made a microwaveable steaming pitcher to save a step.
Hey Lance, I own a flair 58 and generally pull a 1:2 (20g of ground coffee) shot over 35 seconds when I’m making a cafe latte. When pulling a ristretto shot using the Flair 58, how long should my extraction time be, not including the 10-15 sec pre-infusion? Thanks!
I've been trying my nanofoamer several times already and still not able to make any art out of it 😂 thanks for the video! and i will definitely try again after watching this video!
What kind of espresso are you using? When I got mine i practiced using a Nespresso machine for convenience, but I couldn’t get any art wriggles to form and was getting frustrated as hell. I figured out eventually that Nespresso creates too much artificial crema on top. It’s too thick and the milk can’t move through it. So as soon as I took a spoon and removed about 2/3 of the Crema I could immediately pour a little bit of art. Also, make sure you check Keep the screen of the nano really clean, rinse it off as soon as you’re done using it. If the milk dries up at all the solids really hard to get out of that screen and you need to use a toothbrush to do it. Just a little bit of clogging will really screw up the foam quality
@@Stan_sprinkle I'm using Mr. Coffee and i do noticed quite bit of crema on the top. I'm definitely gonna try to take them off tomorrow and give another shot. So far still no success with my nano, thanks for the advice!!
I think this video just saved me about £1000! I've been debating going for this setup or something like the Appartamento, and I think this will work perfectly, plus I'll save some cash. Thanks Lance 😊🙏
Super fun video, appreciate grind settings on Niche, truth on Nano Foamer as a frothier, flow profile tool for Flair 58, Rock & Roll the only way to go. Superbly done and lots of fun to watch
Lance, did you heat up the milk in the microwave all the way up to the final temperature? In your other video about steaming milk using a steam wand, you said something about aerating up to the temperature of your hand and then whirl the rest of the way. So maybe the temperature wasn't right for making froth after microwave, and that affected the final "silky-milkiness".
Hi Lance, Your videos are brilliant - so informative! However, like one or two others, I have a problem with the audio. The audio in the whole of this video was very quiet, so quiet that they music at each end blocked it out completely. I just got mumbling! It's happened before, but not on every video. Very strange!
Very interesting video! In general, this channel is gold. Seems comparable to using a La Pavoni lever machine but without steaming. What are the pros/cons?
No comparison. I thought you were asking pros/cons of the flair 58, which I cover there. I don't have experience with the la pavoni. Only able to work with equipment I have haha!
the cons of a la pavoni is temp stability. They are prone to overheating, so your shot amount is limited. They also take a while to warm up before you can use it and they take A LONG time to propperly cool down which it needs to do before you can refill the water tank
I have a Gaggia Classic 2011 and 2 Rancilio Silvias 2018 (one I use for steaming and one for brewing ) I know! I wanted a double boiler machine, but am I missing out on real espresso taste from not having a rotary pump?
@Lance Hedrick thanks for the video, beside the portability and other features, how does flair 58 compare to pro 2, just in terms of esspresso body and taste ? Does it worth the extra money ? I'm looking forward to upgrade my pro2 to 58 if the difference worth it.
Constantly on the hunt for someone as talented as Lance or Hoffman to do a video on their intricate findings using the NanoFoamer. But these guys play at a level that can’t easily stoop to NanoFoamer from $1,000+ machines. And I get that, no Lambo professional will do a review on a mid-class vehicle. I must become that man myself, the student of the NanoFoam, the pupil-turned-leader of greatness, crafting my own budget microfoam capable of competing at high levels……. Or, maybe the nanofoamer truly isn’t as capable as I hoped 😆. Though this art looks insanely good with the nanofoamer. That did bring hope.
We’ve got our machine in for a service and have been using Picopresso and Nanofoamer for two weeks. Workflow / time isn’t so good. Coffee’s great if you get heat and grind size right. Milk one in every 3 lattes I’m happy with. Art always works but sometimes a little grainy, sometimes looks smooth but feels thin in the mouth and just occasionally good. Took about 10 goes to be pretty reliable.
@@billeterk I was never this confident with my nanofoamer, but I’m glad you’ve had decent results! I think I shared similar feelings for how the milk tuned out. But I was a beginner and had no idea how to pour at the time so I rarely got a great pour. Hope your main machine comes back soon!
thaaaaaaaaaanks!!!!! i was wondering whether to buy a nanofoamer or a home espresso machine to keep up the practice of my latte art (i stoped trying with the french press, never got it well with it) i'll give it a try
It would be interesting to see a performance comparison between the Nanofoamer and an ordinary electric milk frother. The $6 milk frother I got from amazon has been worth its weight in gold.
I tried to listen to it through the phone and it's all robotic and I cannot understand a word. However, through headphones or speakers, you can understand but it sounds odd and disturbing.
Great video, as always! Two things to get more textured microfoam: stretch longer, like 5 seconds and maybe get you vortex a bit deeper if it doesn't mix in completely. Second tip, use the most powerful AA batteries you can find (2450 NiMH rechargeables prefered), as that will make a your Jedi light saber spin faster! Infinite pooowwwwaaaaaa!!!
Sure. Adding more air at the beginning will get more foam, but it still won't have that consistency to pass the shake test. Mostly because the integration simply isn't as tight as when stretching with a steam wand (able to create the microfoam in a different way that can't be replicated past 100F). This process was to get foam capable of latte art.
Great video Lance - question would you replace a conventional espresso machine with steam wand for the Flair 58 and Nanofoamer? Ps when are you going to drop some more beatbox X Workflow videos?
Thanks for the nanofoamer tips. I bought one but rarely use it since I have a hard time getting the consistency right. I hope someone creates a hack on how to keep it on rather than pressing the on button the entire time.
@@LanceHedrick hey! What’s would be your target shot length? You recommend after 15s preinfusion - how long should it ideally take to pull a 35g shot on the 58? Thanks!
Would you consider using an entry-level home machine to do a walk-thru on how to achieve good espresso / milk with? Something like the Breville Bambino Plus? Love your vids!
I have to wonder what the tamper you use is. I know you have a breville dual boiler and I have been using an Espro calibrated. I think it works great, but it isn't the tightest fit on the portafilter. I seem to find a ring on the edges of some un-tamped coffee sitting unsettled. Do you think that this might be an area to improve on channeling? I would be interested in seeing your thoughts! Lastly I must saw great video! I love watching even if this is not my ideal prep style, but I will recommend it to a friend I know who is doing this at home! Keep it up Lance! Great video again
So this is full "this is my third cup of coffee" vibes but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're just like this all the time. Not that I mind, just an observation.
I've been dialing my 58x and I've had my go (without any technique reference) at latte art with microwave milk and a frother and it's been unsuccessful... But yours looks amazing. New fuel to dial the process! Thanks for the walkthrough
And here I've been taking my milk out of the microwave every 15 seconds to stir it because that's what the internet said I had to do to prevent it from scalding.
Is the voice muffled for everyone or just me? I didn't see any comments commenting this so maybe just me. But I tried refreshing many times and still can't hear the audio properly. Nevertheless thanks for the video
there is one thing about these 'foamers' that no reviewer touches - the taste of milk: a proper steamer makes milk lose most of its 'raw milk' taste, while those foamers do not. For me this is a deal breaker - that's why I don't use them
Well, I'm gonna stop the french press method since it gave too much foam, I can't even make single successful latte art with it. You know when I poured it, it became a mountain of milk, and all the coffee was gone. I tried to stir it and still white lol.
I'm skeptical of this. I have continued to use the nanofoamer and gotten some good texture, but I've still not gotten a replication of the creamy texture from a steam wand
@@LanceHedrick all I can say is, next time you’re in NJ stop by and I’ll make you a latte then you can tell me if you’re still skeptical. Big fan here!
I just bought the NanoFoamer thinking I could make latte art with the oat milk my wife and I normally buy. After all, my local cafe does latte art with oat milk! After watching all of Lance's latte art videos and eagerly attempting it and promptly failing, I was sad to learn I'll need to buy either special-purpose "barista grade" oat milk or regular milk (yuck) to get decent foam. I'll certainly do that but it seems my latte art journey is not going to become part of my daily coffee adventures, as I'd hoped when I learned about the NanoFoamer. I hope other oat milk drinkers will read this and at least be aware of this issue before purchasing the device. It's not Subminimal's fault, of course, and I'm still glad I bought it.
@@LanceHedrick thanks for the info! I am guessing that it depends a lot on the brand. Better technique would no doubt help as well. This is the article that said regular oat milk wouldn't work: www.farmdrop.com/blog/best-alternative-milk-coffee-latte-art/
@@rbmanb I'm sure it's great. The problem is I'm not just buying it for myself, and I'm presuming there's an added cost to it. I'm fine with buying the special purpose one occasionally, but it's hard to justify making the switch permanently.

@@annaheya2109 How do you heat the milk? On a stovetop?
Sure. Adding more air at the beginning will get more foam, but it still won't have that consistency to pass the shake test. Mostly because the integration simply isn't as tight as when stretching with a steam wand (able to create the microfoam in a different way that can't be replicated past 100F). This process was to get foam capable of latte art.
thanks man! now i know how to make a good latte. . .

now i just need the tools..
Hahaa that’s what I said a year ago! It took me a whole year of practicing one cup a day to get it right lol
The tools are certainly necessary haha when you get them, these videos are here!
SIR LANCE-A-LATTE!!
My moniker. I love it haha!
Great video Lance - question would you replace a conventional espresso machine with steam wand for the Flair 58 and Nanofoamer?
Ps when are you going to drop some more beatbox X Workflow videos?
Hey! I would, depending on the machine. Especially with the smart espresso profiler!
I have no issue with the audio either. Sounds clean and clear to me.
Mine doesn't work properly at all. Very strange. The music is perfect and can barely hear Lance.
Thanks for the nanofoamer tips. I bought one but rarely use it since I have a hard time getting the consistency right.
I hope someone creates a hack on how to keep it on rather than pressing the on button the entire time.
For sure. That is an annoyance for sure!
I cut up some small pieces of masking tape and stuck about 4 layers on top of the copper plate, makes it quite a bit easier to activate the switch
I drilled a hole in the top and soldered a 5V power supply to it. So it works on full power without pressing. Aooo much better
Loved the video! What was your espresso dose before grinding and your yield was 35g correct? Thanks! Leaned a ton!
Just rewatched the video and you do say what your dose is - 20g - somehow I missed it! Great work as always!
Thank you, friend!
@@LanceHedrick hey! What’s would be your target shot length? You recommend after 15s preinfusion - how long should it ideally take to pull a 35g shot on the 58? Thanks!
Would you consider using an entry-level home machine to do a walk-thru on how to achieve good espresso / milk with? Something like the Breville Bambino Plus? Love your vids!
Absolutely. Thank you for the idea!
Can you do latte art with 'nanofoamed' skim milk?
That would be very difficult. Skim milk will foam up a ton. I've not actually tried it though.
I have to wonder what the tamper you use is. I know you have a breville dual boiler and I have been using an Espro calibrated. I think it works great, but it isn't the tightest fit on the portafilter. I seem to find a ring on the edges of some un-tamped coffee sitting unsettled. Do you think that this might be an area to improve on channeling? I would be interested in seeing your thoughts!
Lastly I must saw great video! I love watching even if this is not my ideal prep style, but I will recommend it to a friend I know who is doing this at home! Keep it up Lance! Great video again
Hey! Thanks for the kind words. I use an artpresso tamper
Audio sounds… well not great m. Hopefully just an upload issue
Maybe need to invest in a separate microphone
Thank you
That familiar sound when you remove the nanofoamer from its case.
You have the fine screen in the case dont you! 😂
HA so not just me 😆😆
Hahaha! I do. It's true. Lol
Whoa have times changed over 3 years 🤯
Hey! Can you please consider making a review on budget espresso machines like the Delonghi Dedica?
I'm about to do a video in a few weeks on the Gaggia classic pro! My Patreon members voted on it!
*BOOOOOM!* 👊🏻
My truest fan 🙏🏻
@@LanceHedrick - Still, really enjoying the content Lance. Keep up the great work! 👍🏻
So this is full "this is my third cup of coffee" vibes but I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you're just like this all the time.
Not that I mind, just an observation.
Only when putting on a show
I've been dialing my 58x and I've had my go (without any technique reference) at latte art with microwave milk and a frother and it's been unsuccessful... But yours looks amazing. New fuel to dial the process! Thanks for the walkthrough
Looks like a nice duo overall, thanks Lance
For sure is! It makes some nice brews
Great video. Audio could do with some improvements, but very good, thank you!
And here I've been taking my milk out of the microwave every 15 seconds to stir it because that's what the internet said I had to do to prevent it from scalding.
Haha! Very odd. I would recommend doing it on the stove for best results, but in a pinch, the mw is fine
I think the sound effects are a must as well. Without them you WILL fail
Nice.
Is the voice muffled for everyone or just me? I didn't see any comments commenting this so maybe just me. But I tried refreshing many times and still can't hear the audio properly. Nevertheless thanks for the video
5:03 - Turkey Sub!
Sounds like sound was recorded through a muffler over cellular with no tower in your vicinity...
Please correct audio and reupload.
Won't look, hope for a re-upload
Our first machine was a manual.
Lance - WHAT is that next to your fridge built into the lower cabinets?!!
Is that a tiny fridge/freezer of some sort? It looks amazing.
Haha I have no clue. This isn't my house lol!
I feel duped because the title says Flair 58X, but it’s really a Flair 58!
Ha! The x was meant as a way to tie the two things together lol
Flair x nanofoamer
there is one thing about these 'foamers' that no reviewer touches - the taste of milk: a proper steamer makes milk lose most of its 'raw milk' taste, while those foamers do not. For me this is a deal breaker - that's why I don't use them
Well, I'm gonna stop the french press method since it gave too much foam, I can't even make single successful latte art with it. You know when I poured it, it became a mountain of milk, and all the coffee was gone. I tried to stir it and still white lol.
Oh that stinks! Look into the nanofoamer!
Audio is terrible
Once you get your Nanofoamer technique down the milk will taste just like milk from steam wand
I'm skeptical of this. I have continued to use the nanofoamer and gotten some good texture, but I've still not gotten a replication of the creamy texture from a steam wand
@@LanceHedrick all I can say is, next time you’re in NJ stop by and I’ll make you a latte then you can tell me if you’re still skeptical. Big fan here!
Oh for sure! Will do
I just bought the NanoFoamer thinking I could make latte art with the oat milk my wife and I normally buy. After all, my local cafe does latte art with oat milk! After watching all of Lance's latte art videos and eagerly attempting it and promptly failing, I was sad to learn I'll need to buy either special-purpose "barista grade" oat milk or regular milk (yuck) to get decent foam. I'll certainly do that but it seems my latte art journey is not going to become part of my daily coffee adventures, as I'd hoped when I learned about the NanoFoamer. I hope other oat milk drinkers will read this and at least be aware of this issue before purchasing the device. It's not Subminimal's fault, of course, and I'm still glad I bought it.
What's wrong with special purpose barista grade oat milk? Oatly does excellent barista version. As well as others do.
This isn't accurate. I was able to do it with store bought pay.
@@LanceHedrick thanks for the info! I am guessing that it depends a lot on the brand. Better technique would no doubt help as well. This is the article that said regular oat milk wouldn't work: www.farmdrop.com/blog/best-alternative-milk-coffee-latte-art/
@@rbmanb I'm sure it's great. The problem is I'm not just buying it for myself, and I'm presuming there's an added cost to it. I'm fine with buying the special purpose one occasionally, but it's hard to justify making the switch permanently.
That blog was written by someone not very good at latte art I'd imagine haha! I have done it with store bought oat.
I think it passed the test, there's just a little bit much in there =]
I don't know what all the fuse about the audio is. I just watched it with my two kids in the room smashing up lego and I heard it all fine
It might be a thing from computer to computer. I'm not sure. But thank you!
Audio problemss
