Learn how to make delicious coffee at home. I’ve watched lots of coffee videos on YouTube lately, and I think it’s a fun hobby to develop

Update #2: Pouring milk in circles

Too many pumps in the French press makes the milk too fluffy. Need to tone it down This one actually tasted very good, kinda like a coffee shop latte

Update #3: Hey a shape!!!

3 big pumps, then 20 micro pumps in the French press. Used whole milk today, rest the pourer on the rim of the mug for better control (in circles) Need to try to pour in a consistent speed. Tasted pretty good

Blender seal isn’t good and there’s hot milk everywhere in my kitchen. I think it’s time I get a proper trigger or steamer

Update #6: Regressed

Regressed bc I threw out my French press, which I used to foam up the milk

Update #7: Suspicious shape

I poured directly out of the milk carton. No foam, I think the over frothing was messing me up before

Update #8: Need more milk

I ran out of milk when I saw a shape coming in, and then all the foam piled on top. Need more milk, maybe 16oz to be safe.

Update #9: Better pour- further from cup

Update #10: Tried to make pour over coffee

Tried out a pour over coffee. Not as much setup or work as a latte, and I think I like it ok this time without it being too sour.

I was having the hardest time making real latte art, so I signed up for a $2 latte art class in my city. Hoping for good progress

I signed up for a latte art class. So I got to use a real grinder, espresso machine, and the steaming wand. I think the issue before was with the steaming method, I needed a proper wand
