Binco latte art milk jug - which I found THE most helpful tool in improving any latte art.

Came out a bit abstract, I think froth was a bit too thin.

Starting to get my mojo back after a few weeks of crappy pours.

After learning everything that I can with the Delonghi Dedica with a Rancilio steam wand, I realized it was time to make the jump to something that can give me consistent results and instead of upgrading my espresso machine, which can pull very decent shots, I decided to just get a dedicated steam wand up to the task of making the latte art that I had envisioned of making when I started learning latte art at home four years ago. This is my first pour with the MS-130 just eyeballing heat, injection, texturing, and volume. And I gotta say it looks as good as my best pour with the Dedica over hundreds of pours. I wish I had upgraded earlier and put that time in learning to pour conplicated patterns rather than trying to thread the needle with steaming with the Dedica. Just sharing my life lessons.

Need to go higher on the cut through I think but I’m seeing improvement 🙂‍↕️

Recently I am trying to learn latte art. I use the flair 58 for espresso and for milk frothing and texturing I am using the Nanofoamer(lithium).
No matter what I try I just cant get the latte art right.
I have warmed milk to 60 degrees. Then aerated for 2 to 3 seconds and then 40 seconds of texturing.
It feels way too stiff and comes on like a blob.

What am I doing wrong and What can I do to be able to consistently do at least 1 simple pattern?
