    This is honestly one of the best milk frothing tutorials I've watched so far. Thanks for your help!
  • @FatNorthernBigot
    Let me be one of the many people praising this video on it's straightforward, easy-to-understand approach. Thank you!

    That moment when you used dishsoap and got beautiful latte art. You got too excited and drink it haha
  • @radiantav
    This is fantastic video, all signal, no noise. Great production quality too. Instant subscribe.
  • @ooiyoubin
    Slowly but surely I'm getting a silky textured. Thank you for this great video !!
  • Amazing! The visualization is great, and the way he explains the tutorial is clear. I Love this.
  • @ayenayen3806
    this is informative! I've been trying to create a perfect thick foam and one time "accidently" done it without knowing how I did it. tried recreating it to no avail 😂😂😂
  • @jonnoble1741
    Great video guys. Love the step by step and the real time recap. Sweet!
  • I've watched dozens of vids on this topic and this is the best I've found so far. Nice job.
  • @jondoeami
    This video allowed me to froth the milk perfectly and make latte art when I couldn’t before despite tying so many times. Thanks for this tutorial!
  • Just started a cafe job and this is honestly one of the best videos I’ve watched explaining how to hold the cup and steamer. I keep ending up with super watery milk and I hate it. Tomorrow is one of my last training days so wish me luck.

    Hi there. I'm a Batista in training (beginner). This video was so so so helpful, especially the dish washing alternative as milk! A great way to save good milk, thank you very much!
  • @etpaprika
    This is the most honest video about milk frothing. Never heard that noise when i watched other videos. Aweosme content, keep it coming. 😌
  • @Garyh61
    Double, double, toil and trouble, in my milk jug, froth and bubble! Love this example and especially the practice tip at the end — water and dishwash! 😀
  • This is magic! It took me four weeks of daily practice with my first ever coffee machine, tons of videos about frothing watched. That all got me nowhere and left me so disappointed. I had almost no foam in my milk, it would only get hot from my steamer. All until I came across this tutorial! Every single milk I froth ever since is perfect! Who would've thought that the key to success is the SOUND of the milk. That hissing sound! Not the airplane one (that I definitely had at the start of my practice with the steamer 😅). Thank you so very much for this tutorial! 💛
  • @sexypicard
    This is one of the best videos on this topic I've seen. Quality footage and editing. Everything was well throughout to facilitate learning. A+
  • @Fixingthings101
    Thanks for this video! Lots of great hints and tips in 5 minutes. I like the use of clear quality gates to move onto the next step (i.e. ~ 20% foamed, sound of the milk). Clear technique to follow and to try and perfect. Most other videos are just someone blabbering on about their coffee skills and where they've worked :)
  • @edzimmerman5591
    A really great video. It’s direct, to the point and so easy to understand. This may be the best video on the subject and unfortunately I have seen plenty for comparison
