    Stretching the milk ia fine but you need to swirl the milk to remove all the big bubbles so I would suggest doing it at an angle. But by looking at your video it seems like like the steam wand is fix? You never see a barista froth the milk directly downward which will create big bubbles it's always done at an angle and they will swirl the milk while stretching it.

    Good luck. all it takes is practice. Buy cheap milk of 3ltrs and just practice in small portion.

      A cheap way of practicing is using water and a drop of dishwashing liquid to substitute the milk

        There's a lot of advice and some good video in the 'Milk Froth and Bubbles' section, have a good read there.

        What machine are you using?

        There seems to be plenty of movement in the milk on the left side of the jug, so steam power should be ok,
        it's a bit slow but the thick protein you show after intermission suggests overheated milk.

        It also appears to be split, also a sign of overheating.

        It is quite possible to steam milk with a vertical wand but you could try getting an angle.
        Anything from 10°-45° off vertical. Check video already posted in other threads.

        All the noises (screaming) suggest that the steam tip is too deep into the milk, especially at the start.
        Hard to tell from the point of view and the big chunk of blank screen.

        In the second video there doesn't appear to be any crema left on the shot of coffee; as a general rule; no crema = no art.
        Pour art is achieved more by correct milk texturing than by the actual pour technique. There are squillions of videos on
        youtube and vimeo about pouring technique but it won't happen if the milk is too thin or too thick.

        Creamy paint is a good analogy for good milk texture.

            Thought it looked something like that.
            These machines are designed to froth milk, not stretch and texture.

            You'll be pushing it all uphill to get good pour art quality milk.

            good luck ;-D

                Should you wish to stay with your current machine, you can always try to do etching latte art which is similar to cake decorating using chocolate sauce, it can make some impressive visual impacts. For free pour latte art, you most likely will need a different coffee machine that allows manual method of steaming milk.

                    Time to become religious, if not already, omouth99. While you'll be able to improve your technique, if you expect to be able to properly stretch milk with the Delonghi, you'll probably end up a tad disappointed. Maybe lower your sights if you are going to stick with the machine?

                          omouth99, it's a little difficult to formulate a reply to your question and address your plea for help without being blunt.

                          Your question has been answered; the ability of your machine is limited.

                          Have you tried any of the tips proffered? Remember........ if your milk is screaming, it's screaming for air, bring the steam
                          nozzle closer to the milk surface and allow it suck in some air.

                          I am in agreement with Barry O'; if you wish to keep this machine, you will have to compromise your expectations.
                          You may get part of the way but methinks, with a machine like this........... not all the way.

                            can you teach me the concept of milk stretching and texturing?

                              Have you actually followed the advice in posts above and had a look in the 'milk froth and bubbles' sub-forum? Ultimately, with the kindest of intent.....it doesn't appear that you are willing to listen to answers that you don't like.
