Some of the last latte art I’ll make. Disappointed that I can’t improve anymore but glad to be free of the siren. (reddit.com)

If you like making latte art get yourself a milk frother and make mistos. You can practice your latte art with that if it's something you enjoy.

You can always buy a entry level espresso.machine, or even froth your milk with a french press so keep practicing at home

I live in a dorm so I wouldn’t have anywhere to put it. Either way I actually don’t drink much coffee so the investment isn’t worth it. I’m just gonna miss being a barista.

How do you guys get the time to make this art is my question

It isn’t that hard tbh. I worked at the highest volume store in my district and we were constantly slammed but it doesn’t take too much extra time to make latte art. I put a lot of effort into steaming and aerating my milk properly and that’s just built into my routine, I couldn’t do it any differently even if I tried now. I also know when an attempt would actually be worth it based on the drink, how the espresso shots look, and if my milk is the right texture. I do a little swirl as I’m pouring and hope for the best. It’s not super time consuming but it’s a lot of fun and I loved seeing my progress over the past two years.

I’ve been contemplating quitting for a month now and I’ve been practicing latte art during every opening shift so I’m gonna take this as a sign that the next decent one I make I’m gonna quit
