One thing that helps a lot is having the espresso pull down the side of the cup bc when it’s pulling straight down it creates a lot of bubbles and the crema is trash. (This is mainly bc we don’t have a lot of control over the coffee making process, normal espresso machines wouldn’t have this problem as bad as we do). Besides that just make sure your milk is a pretty solid texture. There’s a lot of good tutorials on YouTube that you can use to hone in on your skill w that. I also mainly only practice when I get a drink that I know I’ll have a decent shot of getting good latte art so if my milk texture isn’t great or there isn’t a lot of espresso in the drink (standard shorts, talle, and ventis don’t have a good coffee to milk ratio for latte art) I won’t even bother.

Yeah, pretty much.

Thank you!

Sorry for the late reply! These are all Rosetta style latte art. I dont get it perfect every time but that’s what I’m aiming for usually. You can look up YouTube videos but it’s just about wiggling the pitcher side to side while pouring
