I'm back!

Since I have been out of practice, it was pretty rocky at first.. but it's slowly coming back.



My cut through is a little heavy-handed, so it's got this squished sort of look, but I would consider it acceptable.. and better than what a lot of "professional" baristas can do. I don't really like how coffee professionals are starting to be dismissive of latte art, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the barista ensuring their grind is dialed in and tasting good, what is the problem?

I'll be updating this thread more throughout the coming months.

Was this with the stock breville milk jug?
Kind regards,

I picked up my first espresso machine (Vetrano 2B) in December. It took me about a month to get the first visible latte art pattern.

It took a few months and a lot of complaining about the machine not being good enough (which is clearly not true) before it started to click. I still need more practice on both steaming and pouring, but I can now pour well enough to impress any house guests. Here is a decent one from about a week ago.

I don't do milk very often, but I've been practicing hearts. 5oz Not Neutral Meno cup.
