Tbh, i hold the putcher at like a 45 degree angle and let it make the paper tearing noise for maybe 2 seconds before i put the want down till it kinda swirls around but doesn't make the paper noise, i leave it till its at about 100 to 110 degrees then put it up... its not how i was trained but i found it on youtube and it works well for me. Also if you let the milk sit while you clean the want then groom it the bigger bubbles will rise and youll be able to make it smoother

Hi!! Something that really helped me was starting with the steam wand at the bottom of the pitcher and slowly lifting it while swirling it around the pitcher BEFORE you start aerating. This helps create less air bubbles that get sucked into the wand while you’re aerating (so you don’t get that gurgling sound) and makes the milk creamier. I hope this makes sense/helps!

i learned this from a ssv, but she told me to pull it down and after i hear like the rip for a second, pull it up.

Oh shoot are the partner numbers in the 3’s now? I’ve been wondering when that would happen!
