Finally made a breakthrough with my latte art

I’ve been trying to get a wing base that wraps around the design like this for a while.

I’ve learned 3 main things!

Milk texture is key. Incorporate air gently while you already have the vortex going. I use oat milk 99% of the time. In the first photo, I steam the milk with the Flair Wizard. I hate using the Breville Bambino steam wand. In the second photo, I used the built in steam wand on the Breville Duo Temp Pro

Pour less into the base and start the art earlier. It allows for more flow and I don’t have to “push” the first layer as hard.

Pour slower and ripple slower. Going too fast and jittering doesn’t allow as much contrast between the layers
