For Latte Art with Style

The ECM Heritage Line milk jug completes the ECM Heritage Line design collection. The copper look goes perfectly with the corresponding machines, which come with copper accents. The ECM milk jug is ideal for frothing and pouring latte art motifs. The decisive factor here is, on the one hand, the pouring spout, which has a geometry between pointed and round and is therefore suitable for both fine and coarse motifs. On the other hand, ECM has given the milk jug a slight bevel on the upper edge, which ensures that the tip can be guided particularly close to the surface of the drink. The closer you pour to the surface, the clearer the white milk foam becomes. The handle also fits particularly well in the hand, which is a decisive advantage for delicate movements. The size of 450 ml is perfect for medium-sized milk drinks. For latte art, the milk jug should not be too full when pouring in order to get as close to the surface as possible horizontally.

Latte Art Tips

There are a few things to consider when starting to pour latte art. The milk, or plant-based alternative, should be foamed as finely as possible. The right technique is important for this. After a short brewing phase in which air is mixed in, the steam wand should be sunk deeper into the milk to start a circulation that breaks the air bubbles into tiny air bubbles. Pouring the milk into the espresso is also divided into two phases. First, with the cup held at an angle, a little milk should be mixed into the crema from a distance of around five centimeters. The right distance ensures that the milk submerges under the crema instead of becoming visible on the surface. This creates a beautiful brown canvas. In the second phase, the corresponding motif is poured from as close a distance as possible. The popular heart is recommended to start with. To do this, pour in the middle of the drink to create a kidney-shaped blob. Finally, pull through the blob centrally with increasing distance to form a heart.
