Thank you! I feel like I’m getting a bit rusty because my store is so busy. I only get to practice right at open or when I’m working in the slower stores in my district. 🥲

I can't seem to manage getting any sort of resemblance of anything when I try. I just gotta practice more but I seem to always be on cold bar!

If it makes you feel any better I’ve been practicing since 2013!

And aside from using the steps for the flat white, which are actually pretty useful, I think the key when teaching yourself (like we usually have to do with latte art at the bux) is to watch all the YouTube videos you can find aimed at beginners. And then go slow when you’re practicing and pay attention to the way the milk behaves when you pour. A lot of the movement involved is very soft and subtle.

Also, don’t over-aerate your milk or tap your pitcher on the counter too much or too hard trying to eliminate bubbles.
