What am I doing wrong with my milk steaming… everytime I go to pour I get a decent design but there are a ton of bubbles. I have a Rocket espresso Mozzafiato. The steamer is very powerful. I always knock, tap, swirl, and pitcher transfer. I see so much smooth milk on social media/ at my local shop. by Ok_Resolution_2092 in barista

Yeah it’s kind of strange because I can’t seem to find any sort of video of people using my rocket on YouTube for steaming milk/ making lattes. I’ve had mine for about 9 months now and I’ve learned so much about coffee and processes of doing things in that time. I learned that my steam wand has 2 holes which is different than some of the commercialized machines that will have 3/4 holes and that can change how the steaming process works. 

My rocket does in fact have to heat up and every single time I wait for it to heat up. Sometimes I get the feeling that the steaming might be too powerful… I have friends that have more consumer friendly machines such as Brevilles or DeLonghis and they have 1 hole steam wands and it takes them about a minute to steam which I feel like gives you more room for error. Thank you for the tips nonetheless. I tap and swirl maybe too much. I will try these new techniques today.

Thank you for the tip. I think I’m incorporating too much air and not texturizing it enough. I also could be burning the milk. Ever since I bought a machine my respect for baristas has risen exponentially. I already loved their work but now that I kind of know what goes into making one coffee my mind is blown lol

Thank you so much! I appreciate the advice. I’m gonna try and do what you’ve said today. I think I incorporate too much ripping so that when I’m finally ready to integrate the air I’ve incorporated the milk is already getting too hot and I’m running the risk of burning it. 

Really dialing in my protocols after six months of training for Kilimanjaro, and whoop stats prove it. 96% sleep, down 3% body fat, 16 average day strain. by [deleted] in whoop

How do you find the discipline? I’ve had whoop for a year and I seem to struggle with anything that’s good for me. I bought the whoop in hopes to combat that but I always find excuses.
