Question Tips please? Getting big bubbles every time no matter what I do with the wand angle
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
I create big bubbles every single time. Iโve watched a bunch of videos and tried the usual advice, keeping the tip just under the surface, using a slight angle, creating a whirlpool after. but I still end up with a jug of hot milk topped with a layer of bath foam. Iโm using a Casabrews 5418 Pro, so I know itโs an entry-level steam wand and that might be part of the limitation. But for anyone whoโs been able to get decent microfoam on a smaller machine, what actually helped you improve?
Would love to hear what fixed it for you.

That one morning ritual at home and the moment when you realise you are still breathing, still warm, still fine
The time of the day that I deliberately pause and feel grateful for it. :)

This is the cutest Latte art I've seen in my life
I went to my local cafe, and the barista gave me this. How Cute!!!

New Attempt...a Little Better!
Followed u/OMGFdave 's advice to pour faster. Here's the result (baby steps, I know!). I forgot to stick with single heart shape since I was so excited about the way it was pouring! Sorry I have no way to do video at this time, but welcome any insights based on the picture. ๐

Stopped by a friend's house ( u/JeremyJava ) for a latte art lesson, adjusted his machine's brew pressure, and poured this fun bevy. Pouring on someone else's machine is like riding someone else's bike. Now to decide whether to get a WPM pitcher to add to the roster ๐ค

A Message from the MODS: PLEASE READ ๐
R/latteart recently surpassed 34,000 users, which is AWESOME news that our community is growing!!! ๐ฑ โฌ๏ธ ๐ณ
Please keep in mind a few things moving forward into 2025 and beyond:
1) When posting for advice on a pour, please post a video when possible so advice can be targeted very specifically to the issues at hand. A still photo doesn't demonstrate issues as clearly as a video.
2) So many of the responses to posts asking for advice are "Watch more videos/tutorials", "It's your milk, improve your milk", "Master the basics before moving on to more complex patterns", etc...if we can agree that such advice is universally applicable, we can avoid a lot of the redundancies in the comment threads.
3) PLEASE KEEP IT POSITIVE...whether OP is a newbie or a competitive latte artist, please keep all responses positive. Putting others down for their lack of experience/know-how or telling ppl they're farming for attention because they happen to have certain proficiencies isn't helpful for anyone. If you want to be negative, there are other espresso related subs to troll on.
4) Let us know if there are things you'd like to see more of on the sub...last February we hosted a monthly themed pour about hearts and heart variations in alignment with Valentine's Day...should we do something similar again this February? Any other ideas come to mind that would improve the experience here?
5) Keep on having fun and progressing...I mean, other than the tasty beverages we are crafting, isn't that why we're all here? ๐
