Latte Art in My Room #4 Making the Heart 

1
00:00:13.274 --> 00:00:17.674
(The first reason why your milk foam doesn't rise)
Shall we look at an example of why some can't make circles and why that is

2
00:00:17.674 --> 00:00:22.474
If you’re holding the pitcher too tightly and try to stabilize it, all the force is here

3
00:00:22.474 --> 00:00:26.674
(You need to relax the hand that's holding the pitcher and hold it naturally)
So the force of the espresso being mixed with the milk

4
00:00:26.674 --> 00:00:29.074
would be in a weak manner

5
00:00:29.074 --> 00:00:34.624
There's a bit of force when the milk drops and so it's the cup's role to catch that 


6
00:00:34.624 --> 00:00:37.074
So break into that crema

7
00:00:37.074 --> 00:00:41.773
like you are dropping something from the 2nd floor to the 1st floor

8
00:00:41.773 --> 00:00:45.323
When you’re watering flowers, you don’t clench onto the watering pot

9
00:00:45.323 --> 00:00:47.773
you just let the water fall naturally 

10
00:00:47.773 --> 00:00:51.623
Like that, you’re not trying to clench and do something 

11
00:00:51.623 --> 00:00:55.273
You’re just giving it a light fall like this

12
00:00:55.273 --> 00:01:00.373
(It helps to let the milk pour naturally to keep the milk flow consistent)
You need to practice mixing, so if you're having trouble mixing

13
00:01:00.373 --> 00:01:02.473
occasionally look at your hand

14
00:01:02.473 --> 00:01:05.572
It would be good to check to make sure 

15
00:01:05.572 --> 00:01:07.572
you’re not clenching too tightly 

16
00:01:07.572 --> 00:01:10.422
If your shoulder is hurting as you practice,

17
00:01:10.422 --> 00:01:14.422
you’re putting too much pressure so you need to relax

18
00:01:14.422 --> 00:01:17.972
Latte art is very similar to exercising

19
00:01:17.972 --> 00:01:21.472
It’s like learning to swim for the first time

20
00:01:21.472 --> 00:01:25.272
The hardest thing about swimming is also relaxing the body

21
00:01:25.272 --> 00:01:29.222
This has to be comfortable so you can feel yourself relax

22
00:01:29.222 --> 00:01:31.571
Stiffness as a beginner is natural,

23
00:01:31.571 --> 00:01:34.071
(stiffness as a beginner in latte art is natural)
but if you are getting stiff as you practice,

24
00:01:34.071 --> 00:01:39.471
(increase your practice time so your movements become more natural)
check if your shoulders and hands are nice and relaxed

25
00:01:39.471 --> 00:01:43.521
If this is too uncomfortable, use water and practice pouring

26
00:01:43.521 --> 00:01:46.871
which will be very helpful

27
00:01:46.871 --> 00:01:50.171
(The second reason why your foam doesn’t rise)
It may look like you’re pouring, but foam might not be coming out

28
00:01:50.171 --> 00:01:53.871
What that means is that you may be saying “I’m pouring it”

29
00:01:53.871 --> 00:01:56.570
but you are too stiff as it comes down

30
00:01:56.570 --> 00:02:02.570
So if you are too hesitant and take too long to decide on making latte art

31
00:02:02.570 --> 00:02:04.070
from the perspective of the espresso, 

32
00:02:04.070 --> 00:02:07.770
(are they trying to make art or stabilize)
it's like are you going to make latte art or not 

33
00:02:07.770 --> 00:02:10.420
you are giving confusing signals 

34
00:02:10.420 --> 00:02:13.670
So when doing latte art you need to come down close

35
00:02:13.670 --> 00:02:18.820
(Sense of rhythm = constant speed) 
and you need to keep a constant speed when you pour your milk as

36
00:02:18.820 --> 00:02:21.620
there is more probability of the foam coming out naturally and evenly 

37
00:02:21.620 --> 00:02:24.169
increases significantly is something you should always remember

38
00:02:24.169 --> 00:02:28.269
(The third reason why your foam doesn’t rise)
You hold the pitcher and cup like this, right?

39
00:02:28.269 --> 00:02:30.519
Don’t use too much of your wrist

40
00:02:30.519 --> 00:02:35.769
If you follow the wrist holding the pitcher, you have your shoulder

41
00:02:35.769 --> 00:02:39.419
If you follow up the cup, you have your other shoulder 

42
00:02:39.419 --> 00:02:43.319
Think of your shoulders as a seesaw and stand like this

43
00:02:43.319 --> 00:02:47.069
If I move towards the cup, just tilting to one side like this

44
00:02:47.069 --> 00:02:51.368
helps the cup stand and the pouring of the milk

45
00:02:51.368 --> 00:02:55.168
Don't try to use your wrist too much, but use your entire upper body

46
00:02:55.168 --> 00:02:58.168
(If you don't tilt the cup properly, the gap will be too big and the foam won't come out)
Think of it like you are rolling a ball

47
00:02:58.168 --> 00:03:02.118
(When tilting the cup, your upper body should move together)
Think of your shoulders as a seesaw and don't make your movements too quick

48
00:03:02.118 --> 00:03:05.768
If you pour at a constant speed, it will be much easier to make latte art

49
00:03:05.768 --> 00:03:10.318
Interestingly, after telling you this, you will now be able to see the difference in my shoulders

50
00:03:10.318 --> 00:03:12.068
And here is another tip

51
00:03:12.068 --> 00:03:18.367
I said I will mix like this and stop and then pour the milk at a closer distance

52
00:03:18.367 --> 00:03:23.817
As you can see from this posture, when you stop pouring after mixing the milk with the espresso

53
00:03:23.817 --> 00:03:27.417
You have to hold it and stop for a second like this

54
00:03:27.417 --> 00:03:31.967
I see some people where they hold the pitcher straight up again when they stop pouring 

55
00:03:31.967 --> 00:03:35.167
(You should not hold up the pitcher when drawing something after the stabilization) 
But if you hold up the pitcher 

56
00:03:35.167 --> 00:03:39.067
It can think the its job is all done

57
00:03:39.067 --> 00:03:44.566
So it may take a bit of time to restart, so mix and hold for a second 

58
00:03:44.566 --> 00:03:48.516
Move down to the cup. Why? Because we are going to pour the milk

59
00:03:48.516 --> 00:03:54.066
Get down to the cup, close as possible and then pour it like this with shoulders

60
00:03:54.066 --> 00:03:57.366
this helps create a good canvas for the latte art. And one more thing

61
00:03:57.366 --> 00:04:00.516
(Is it better to have the pitcher close to the rim of the cup for the latte art?)
I get a lot of questions where people ask if it's okay to have the pitcher touch the rim of the cup and if it's necessary 

62
00:04:00.516 --> 00:04:03.016
and also if it's okay if they don't

63
00:04:03.016 --> 00:04:05.866
Ultimately, I do it without it touching it

64
00:04:05.866 --> 00:04:09.865
But when I say do not let it touch it, people tend to pour it from at a longer distance 

65
00:04:09.865 --> 00:04:13.065
So the good way to think of this is that it doesn't matter if it touches or not

66
00:04:13.065 --> 00:04:17.615
Just think of pouring as close as you can

67
00:04:17.615 --> 00:04:22.415
(The pitcher doesn't have to touch the cup, the importance is pouring at a closer distance!) 
and don't think that you have to touch the rim of the cup

68
00:04:22.715 --> 00:04:25.165
Whether it touches or not, that's not the problem

69
00:04:25.165 --> 00:04:27.965
The main work here is you just have to get as close as you can 

70
00:04:27.965 --> 00:04:31.815
and see the milk above the crema and also using the shoulders like a seesaw 

71
00:04:31.815 --> 00:04:34.014
How to draw a heart!

72
00:04:34.564 --> 00:04:37.364
At a consistent and fixed height

73
00:04:37.364 --> 00:04:39.414
(Stabilization 50-60%)
Pour it until it is 50-60% full 

74
00:04:39.414 --> 00:04:42.864
Put the pitcher down while moving the shoulders together 

75
00:04:42.864 --> 00:04:44.864
You have to keep the distance 

76
00:04:44.864 --> 00:04:50.064
If you pass from top to bottom, the bottom shape of a heart is going to be there

77
00:04:50.064 --> 00:04:52.414
Let's take a closer look! 

78
00:05:04.963 --> 00:05:08.213
(Why doesn't my heart turn out nice?)
Now, if you say that the top of your heart isn't turning out nicely

79
00:05:08.213 --> 00:05:10.913
The reason why it's not a clear defined heart is

80
00:05:10.913 --> 00:05:16.063
when you poured up to 1/3 full and you follow that point with your cup

81
00:05:16.063 --> 00:05:19.413
The point where you were pouring will move slightly inward along with the cup

82
00:05:19.413 --> 00:05:24.362
(Depending on the speed of a cup tilting, the pitchers position should follow towards the center)
But if you keep the pouring  distance and only move the cup 

83
00:05:24.362 --> 00:05:28.712
The cup is titling back, then the pitcher would move backward 

84
00:05:28.712 --> 00:05:33.512
In that case, the top would not come out in an apple-like heart shape

85
00:05:33.512 --> 00:05:36.812
It will drawn in like this so it comes out in a round shape 

86
00:05:36.812 --> 00:05:38.962
I will show you what I mean 

87
00:05:41.512 --> 00:05:45.612
The pitcher was just holding up the place 

88
00:05:45.612 --> 00:05:51.111
The right answer is to move along with a cup, take a look 

89
00:05:51.111 --> 00:05:54.711
The pitcher does not move and only the cup moves 

90
00:05:54.711 --> 00:05:57.111
If I stopped here, at the 1/3 point

91
00:05:57.111 --> 00:06:01.861
(When the cup is tilted and the pitcher doesn't follow) 
When only the cup moves back like this, not only the art would move to the top like this 

92
00:06:01.861 --> 00:06:04.361
and literally only a circle would come out 

93
00:06:04.361 --> 00:06:06.261
But we have to draw a heart, correct? 

94
00:06:06.261 --> 00:06:11.811
(As the pitcher follows the tilting cup)
Because it moves together with a cup and as the cup is round

95
00:06:11.811 --> 00:06:15.111
After this milk goes into the center of the cup 

96
00:06:15.111 --> 00:06:19.460
It hits the wall of the cup and creates a circular rotation

97
00:06:19.460 --> 00:06:25.010
So naturally, it spins and curls upward like a heart 

98
00:06:25.010 --> 00:06:28.460
The interesting thing is that when you practice, you will notice it 

99
00:06:28.460 --> 00:06:30.510
I will show you one more time 

100
00:06:34.310 --> 00:06:38.060
(While it's still warm but if the milk is flat, froth again) 
If you think the milk has become too flat

101
00:06:38.060 --> 00:06:44.509
Just like what I am doing, add some air into it and pump it two or three times

102
00:06:44.509 --> 00:06:47.459
then the milk will become nice and firm again

103
00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:52.009
Pour it in so that it is submerged only 0.5 cm from the tip of the pitcher

104
00:06:52.009 --> 00:06:56.659
If you add exactly the same amount as the cup it won't be enough to draw later on 

105
00:06:56.659 --> 00:06:59.809
So that's why it's better to have enough of milk

106
00:06:59.809 --> 00:07:01.209
(How to draw a heart!)
Okay, let me show you again

107
00:07:03.859 --> 00:07:05.709
About the size of a 500 won coin

108
00:07:05.709 --> 00:07:08.058
(After stabilization, do not lift the pitcher too much!)
50-60%, 1/3 point

109
00:07:08.058 --> 00:07:13.608
Move the pitcher slightly with the cup, and lifting it a little higher

110
00:07:13.608 --> 00:07:19.008
Pass it like this with the cup, and when you see the tail, make a half-moon shape with the tip of the pitcher, like this

111
00:07:19.008 --> 00:07:24.208
Whether it's a half-moon shape or a C-curve, just naturally lift it upwards like this

112
00:07:24.208 --> 00:07:29.208
Then you'll have a cup that's perfectly straight and

113
00:07:29.208 --> 00:07:34.057
a straight standing pitcher which shows you that the work is done

114
00:07:34.057 --> 00:07:40.957
And after some practice, you'll able to see the milk rotating inside the cup

115
00:07:40.957 --> 00:07:44.207
So, if you look at the top, because of this movement

116
00:07:44.207 --> 00:07:46.907
The heart shape is naturally created

117
00:07:46.907 --> 00:07:49.857
As the tip of the pitcher is sticking out

118
00:07:49.857 --> 00:07:54.307
therefore the tip has a slightly pushing effect

119
00:07:54.307 --> 00:07:57.807
What's wrong with the end tip of my heart?

120
00:07:57.807 --> 00:08:03.306
Even though the milk is passing the same way, this is also affected by the heights

121
00:08:03.306 --> 00:08:08.156
Let me make the end tip of the heart big and ugly

122
00:08:08.156 --> 00:08:12.756
And to do that we'll do the same movements 

123
00:08:12.756 --> 00:08:18.056
And as you're passing by, if you go down really low

124
00:08:18.056 --> 00:08:22.906
Then you will have this blob at the end of the heart

125
00:08:22.906 --> 00:08:25.305
Because by pouring at a low distance 

126
00:08:25.305 --> 00:08:28.255
(If the tip of the pitcher is not lifted at the end, the end of the heart will turn into a blob)
means that you're pouring more form into the espresso

127
00:08:28.255 --> 00:08:32.555
So to make that thin line of milk, I'll give you a great tip

128
00:08:32.905 --> 00:08:37.905
So think, the cup and the pitcher are gradually moving away from each other

129
00:08:37.905 --> 00:08:43.205
like a fan,  in a triangle shape , if you think as a graph. So what do you do?

130
00:08:48.305 --> 00:08:52.204
Come down and pour it as it is. It's low right now

131
00:08:52.204 --> 00:08:59.854
Here, for example, at 1cm, 2cm, 3cm, 4cm, and when you see the end, half moon

132
00:08:59.854 --> 00:09:04.904
The pressure from lifting the pitcher makes the milk fall deeper into the cup

133
00:09:04.904 --> 00:09:08.554
So if you look at it like this now, it's really defined

134
00:09:08.554 --> 00:09:13.004
It looks like someone drew the heart with a pencil. It's really pretty

135
00:09:13.004 --> 00:09:16.104
It's like this. If you get used to it, it's yours

136
00:09:16.104 --> 00:09:19.303
If you practice unconditionally, it'll turn out like this

137
00:09:19.303 --> 00:09:23.603
So today we talked about the basics 

138
00:09:23.603 --> 00:09:25.703
of how to pour the milk


139
00:09:25.703 --> 00:09:28.753
and how that turns into a heart

140
00:09:28.753 --> 00:09:32.103
Don't get too overwhelmed 

141
00:09:32.103 --> 00:09:33.803
Jsut do it in order from the beginning

142
00:09:33.803 --> 00:09:37.703
When we sing, we don't recall the lyrics at the same time, right?

143
00:09:37.703 --> 00:09:42.603
The lyrics of the song have to be memorized first, so you can sing with emotion

144
00:09:42.603 --> 00:09:48.152
Grab a pitcher, grab a cup, hold a stance, and at what height

145
00:09:48.152 --> 00:09:51.352
(Stabilize with height)
Pour a certain amount, stop and go down

146
00:09:51.352 --> 00:09:52.952
(Reduce the height to 1/3)
And at which point

147
00:09:52.952 --> 00:09:54.502
(Cup tilt)
With your shoulder

148
00:09:54.502 --> 00:09:58.352
(The pitcher gradually moves away from the cup)
They become further away and passes together, and are father away

149
00:09:58.352 --> 00:09:59.802
(Finish in half moon shape)
Half moon at the tip

150
00:09:59.802 --> 00:10:03.352
This movement should be remember in your body like a button or like a song

151
00:10:03.352 --> 00:10:06.102
It should come out when someone presses that button

152
00:10:06.102 --> 00:10:11.651
It's not smooth right now just like as if you get some lyrics wrong in the song 

153
00:10:11.651 --> 00:10:16.351
Before practicing, try simulating it at least ten times

154
00:10:16.351 --> 00:10:18.701
Then you can get used to it much faster

155
00:10:18.701 --> 00:10:23.301
I will teach you the 3-step push tulip in the next content

156
00:10:23.301 --> 00:10:27.051
