Yes, someday. Someday I will truly know what it means to create the perfect latte art. I am not complaining too much about where I'm at now. I mean a couple of months ago I couldn't pour anything like what I can today. Maybe only one out of 10 pours I'd even want to put on the blog due to their lack of anything "blog-worthy".
So, I shouldn't whine or complain too much about not having perfected my art yet. I do wish I was a bit more consistant. I knew that on this one I had too much foam and it wasn't forming a very tight froth in the pitcher. Once again I sort of circled the milk in initially and then slowed my pour near the end with the shake, but since the foam was lighter and too "foamy" I knew I wouldn't get very good detail in the rosetta.
The good news is that it DOES look like an actual rosetta, just one from a distance photographed with an out-of-focus telephoto lense or something. Ha ha.
Well, at least the coffee tasted good as usual and that IS all that matters, right?
Cya next time

Looks good.
What type of milk are you using?
I have to admit I'm using whole milk because it tastes better and I've read that it makes better microfoam.
I prefer 2% to drink or use on my cereal. I haven't tried anything but whole since I've had the Silvia, but for as little milk as I use per latte (6-8oz) I can live with a little more fat.
Yeah. I've been practicing with whole milk. I also like making macchiatos using half/half.
A top barista told me to avoid using milk that has been "ultra" pasteurized.
I wish grass-fed milk were cheaper. You should see the latte art they could make in Auckland.
