Video: The Beginner's Guide to Latte Art
Added 2025-03-31 14:00:14 +0000 UTCI’ll start with a confession: I was hesitant to make this video for a long time, mostly because I am not the world’s greatest latte artist (and never really have been). That said, I still thought I had something valuable to offer - having taught hundreds of people over the years to pour latte art.
This edit is slightly different from the YouTube version. Firstly, it has no ad read. Secondly, you’ve got a longer cut of the diagnostics section towards the end of the video.
This video is a bit longer than usual, and you could argue it could be three or four individual videos but I liked the idea of it being just one. Hopefully my approach to breaking down the techniques helps those of you who are looking to improve. (Though I should point out that there’s a coffee giveaway in the public video, in case that’s of interest).
We shot some high speed stuff for this video (480fps for those into that sort of thing), because I think it shows a couple of things in a way that you can’t see any other way. Plus it’s always fun to hire a fancy camera for a day!
Hope you all enjoy it and that it is useful!

Is there a way to submit diagnosis pictures after the video? Lol
