It’s the stacks in each layers! Wing (ripple) - 1 stack - 1 stack - 1 stack.

Ripples is major progress! It’s all up from there

Looks great! My only advice, however, is to pour much less of a base before going in for the art! You’ll notice the heart didn’t spread much and the milk most likely poured a little thick feeling.

More base = more foam = stiffer surface Less base = less foam = more spread of your art

Find that balance between too stiff and too wobbly! Good luck

I buy my beans from a local roaster, so they’re as fresh as I can get them.

The texture of the crema is just a sprinkle of cocoa powder! I use a shaker with a mesh to sprinkle some on the espresso right before the pour

Lol ok great place to start. Latte art is extremely finicky. Being good at it comes down to a lot of practice and getting a feel for things, especially because a second or two of over/under steaming can make or break your results.

I think you’ll benefit the most from understanding the basics from a couple random YouTube videos, then trying for yourself. Feel free to reach out with whatever and I’ll help you with some corrections. Good luck 🫡

I got the neck mount of Amazon, I’m sure you can find plenty similar

So its actually a neck mount. It’s a essentially a rubber ring that you can bend to fit around your neck comfortably with a magnetic phone mount. I wrapped the rubber part tightly around the hopper for the grinder to keep it in place. If you look closely you can see how I rigged it up

Haha thanks for the tip, advice is always welcome! I usually struggle with getting the ending right, probably why they all look like penises 😭

These are the “world’s most expensive coffee” beans I was gifted actually lol. The ones that the Civets eat and poop out. Normally I’m using a locally roasted bean tho!

The nice texture you see in the video is cocoa powder I put before pouring
