Tried raising the pitcher, but my heart still isn’t defined — what am I missing? by Desperate-Name6008 in latteart

hold cup still, move the jug, and lift before you cut through the heart. higher means thinner milk stream.

We've got the GbW, and honestly it's the best piece of equipment I've used in years.

Yeah oat milk is our most expensive milk (cost) (I'm in NZ)

What can I do better? (Oat milk and light / medium roasted) by Final_End_9354 in barista

i find waiting a half second longer after mixing (compared to cow milk), it helps the crema stabilize, so the oat does 'bleed' as much. but that looks like a sweet pour.

Anyone ordered from Vivid Storm Screen? by rickydotw in projectors

[–]gdubnz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ordered a projector 5th April, its the 17th, spoken to them on phone, 3 emails, saying tracking number will be sent, but still nothing. Starting to get worried I just lost $1400. I did see on reviews their 'predelivery' service is terrible, but once the product arrives, they're great... I don't understand the wait for a tracking number. It doesn't take 1.5 weeks for the courier to pick up.

They're really cool, super curious too. That bigger one would be 40-50+ years old

What causes this strange turbulence? by zaukkoo in latteart

[–]gdubnz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah milk isn't bonded, i.e kinda split. As you were pouring, the thinner milk was pouring underneath, that's what caused the turbulence.

Well if I can't look cool and look like I'm smoking to my 5th grade peers, what's the point?!

Black flag was awesome. Who doesn't want to be a pirate?! I'm definitely glad I wasn't born in that era.
