These are great! I have much to learn!! My latte art is still largely of the “white splodge on brown backdrop” variety!

Plenty of good latte art tutorials on Youtube. One thing to bear in mind - you can’t do good latte art if your milk isn’t properly micro-foamed. It’s very easy when embarking on the path to latte art nirvana to over steam the milk. Tell tale sign is the milk surface looks dull and matt and too thick to get a good even pour. Perfect micro-foamed milk should have a satiny sheen on it. Don’t worry if there are a few bubbles - just tap the jug a few times to burst them. Also, don’t start your pour straightaway - leave the milk for a minute or two, then swirl and begin your pour. Recommend watching:

Completely agree- when I got a nicer machine that had almost commercial level steam power, I was obsessed with how much microfoam I could put in the jug and ended up with a very marshmallow-y texture as opposed to latex paint consistency really required for good art. I think when upgrading to a machine that can steam larger portions of milk, showing restraint is important. I have found that practicing how much air to inject based with any given machine sometimes takes just as much practice. For my current machine, I only need a few seconds of air injection for an 8oz amount of milk.

A month in and finally one I don’t mind sharing. Still a lot to learn.

Opened a washed Columbian from North Star today - thought I would try it in a flat white/latte with an attempt at a tulip:

Rosetta are my usual go to… learning tulips at the moment… struggling a bit! Here is my first attempt this morning
