The right latte art tool which is suitable for professionals and beginners
Barista Latte Art looks difficult and complicated, but with the right cutlery it's just a matter of practice. With the Latte Art cutlery, which consists of a milk foam hook, button, spatula, spike, lance and spoon, you can let your imagination run wild when it comes to shapes and patterns. With a little practice and patience, you can create specific patterns and become a professional yourself. To start with, toppings are ideal. You can apply them to the foam using measuring bottles and then pull them in different directions using sticks or other barista accessories for latte art.
Of course, you can also buy a thermometer from Aromatico, which you can use to closely monitor the temperature of the espresso and the milk foam. This gives you even more control over the individual parameters that influence the latte art result.
How Latte Art Tools Can Help You on Your Journey as a Coffee Artist
The basis is an espresso with a thick crema, under which the coffee stays hot for longer. You can achieve particularly good results with an espresso machine. It is best to use a larger milk jug to make the milk foam, as the milk foam is easier to make with a larger capacity of the jug. Take a look at our tutorial for the perfect milk foam to become a specialist in this field. Once you have made creamy milk foam, you need to pour it under the crema when pouring. The key to perfect latte art is:
- consistency of the crema
- temperature and consistency of the milk foam
- type and speed of pouring
- Current generated when milk enters
