Latte Art - Practice

Hey Team,

​

Off the back of @SupremeOwl48 asking about latte art. I think a lot of people overthink latte art. Here is what I'm running for an idea:

​

- Medium Roasted Coffee (6 days old - needs degassing)

- Lite milk (99% fat free)

- $4 stainless steel Trenton pitcher

- Machine is a Profitec Drive but its the same for any machine.

​

When I texture milk, I add air and just maintain a vortex. I actually don't hold the jug and just 'juggle/balance' the jug so I can usually do other things. Was great on my Breville because it took like 50seconds to texture the milk so I'd just walk away.

​

When I actually pour (forgive me for the filming angle) it was hard to pour in the cramped workspace for the video. Might do another one if anyone wants explaining it not cramped.

​

- milk was incorporated and silky, so no need to split into another jug, I could have split into a jug with a finer tip for a cleaner design but just wanted to show you can use literally any jug.

- I pour fast, I do my first pour in about half a second just dumping and swirling milk

- Brief pause

- Then I tilt the cup so it almost meets the tip of the pitcher, the design should just flow out if you have good micro foam. You can literally rest the spout on the cup to practice this if you want and it will still come out.

- I could have stayed longer to build a full Rosetta but just rushed through it with a slight wiggle and I lift the pitcher to run it through to not stretch/pull the design with it.

​

There are heaps of things I can do to enhance this further - full fat milk, larger pitcher with a fine tip, coffee that has degassed properly, taking my time to build the base but I don't bother 99% of the time.

​

Feel free to ask any questions

Cheers

Hey guys,

I put on a new EPS roof and was going to pass up on the barge capping and z flashing and get someone else to do it. Anyways fastforward quotes were silly about 4k so thought I'd have a crack myself.

Anyways. The capped corner I cut and overlapped the single piece with silicon underneath (2 beads) then stitched it together with tek screws and a small bead of silicone on the overlap.

There are Tek screws underneath at 600mm centres and some ontop too.

Does this look okay? I couldn't think of any other way to do it that makes sense to me at least.

What do you think? I know it's not the tidiest works but as I can't see it going more for leak free.

Cheers
