Hey everyone,
Just wondering if I can get some advice on latte art. The issue I'm having is I just can't seem to be able to create any art, everytime I try it just seems to be some version of a blob.
Generally my process with the milk is: stretch the milk about 1cm, stop when its too hot to touch, I have a good whirlpool going, I don't have any visible bubbles in the milk. When I finish I have about 1 cm foam in the cup and it looks nice shiny, it is sticky but not too sticky, tastes sweet and feels smooth in the fingers but I can just never make any art. I took a barista course and when I was there during my first try I barely had to try to make a rosetta (I guess a combination of beginners luck and nicely steamed milk?), but whenever I pour anything now it just ends up as a blob. I've looked at various videos and it seems like whenever people pour the milk moves and shifts, but with mine it tends to stay stationary, I'm wondering what you guys think the issue is?
Oh and when time to mark the surface I am very close to the milk. I always end up with some form of blob though - the milk just doesn't shift and move like others do
