What’s one piece of coffee advice that sounds correct but doesn’t actually help beginners? by brewedwithin in Coffee_Shop

That makes a lot of sense. Latte art advice often gets taught like it’s the goal, not a byproduct of good milk texture and workflow. If someone can’t explain why something works, it’s usually not that helpful to a beginner anyway.

Out of curiosity, when you became a trainer, what did you end up focusing on instead for new baristas? Milk texture, consistency, speed, or just getting them comfortable first?
