I’m thrilled to announce a new workshop for aspiring baristas — it’s happening next Saturday at our local café, where we’ll dive into espresso techniques and latte art. This is a fantastic opportunity to connect with fellow coffee lovers and improve your skills — hope to see you all there.
I remember my first attempt at latte art — it looked more like a Rorschach test than a heart! One tip I learned is to make sure your milk is perfectly steamed; it makes a world of difference in pouring. Can’t wait to see what everyone creates at this workshop.
I found that practicing your pour at different heights can really change the outcome of your latte art. It took me a while to find the sweet spot, but once I did, my designs improved a ton. Just keep your wrist steady and don’t rush it — you’re gonna do great.
One thing that helped me with my espresso shots is paying attention to the grind size. I found that even small adjustments can significantly impact extraction. If you’re using a scale, keep track of your coffee-to-water ratio, as it can help refine your process over time.
