    Re: Some Help Please With my foam

    Hi all a quick update.

    I have been practising the whole weekend but am still struggling, it is improving (ever-so slightly).

    I have noticed the the centre of the foam doesnt break-down its usually the outer regions around the edge of the cup.

    Epic that video was helpful thanks.

    Will keep practising

      Hi andreasb

      I have had brake down in the milk now and then if my beans have not completely degassed just a thought. When I first started I used to steam with water so I could find the right angle to hold the jug to get the whirl pool action..

      Cheers Gra..

        Hey Andreas
        Thats my technique and it works fine with a little practice   :
        Did you see Otons video posted on that thread ?

        OK some technique items to mention
        Position of tip
        Two types of steaming techniques for different foam results

        * For best volume e.g. "Cappuccino" The tip should just sit below the surface

        * For best texture e.g. "Latte & Latte Art" The tip to go slightly deeper

        For latte art micro-foam start with tip just under the surface If you have a thermometer push tip deeper into the milk at about 40 deg C  
        This should give you a thinner texture for pouring art

        Always pour milk straight away after steaming as leaving it to long will make the foam stiffen

        Hope that helps you
