Hello, nice to meet you. I'm Jiyu Lee, a barista of Oneway Elly
Welcome to my class everyone
I think you applied for this class for a variety of reasons
Same as for me, 12 years ago, it's already been that long. I first started coffee in Australia
In fact, at that time, beyond latte art and things like that, dealing with coffee itself was overwhelming
But as time went by, I couldn't help but get involved in latte art
And I wanted to do it well, fast. But why doesn't the milk cooperate with me?
So I observe and try to imitate what others do
But I got seriously into it once I opened my own shop
Practice cost money and it felt like a waste
So it was so difficult to practice this extensively
I had some concerns about how I can do it a little more efficiently and systematically
And through those concerns, it led me to create this class
The more I did it the more clear the method was
And it made me think how I wish I had known
this method from the beginning and how great it will be
for my students
So I think it's the best if any of my new students apply it thinking
I've never done latte art before would it be possible
If you've never done this before, it means you didn't waste your time
I think it'll be great for my students to think that by doing it in this method
that they'll learn it much faster
I wrote it down from the real basics
From how to use the tools to how to use your body
And how to make a heart
We're going to dive into these so for now you can leave your talent on the side
As you progress, if you think you have talent for this then you'll learn it faster
And for students who are currently active baristas
who questions why it doesn't work for them when they use it every day
and why it doesn't work when they are using it the way they are
I want to remind you to not be discouraged when you get latte orders
and it doesn't turn out nicely
like others do
You will definitely find a way where you'll notice that your method was wrong and
if you were to change your method
it'll work much better
I wrote it down from the beginning where you'll notice
which area you'll need to improve
It will become very clear for you that your gripping method was one of the reason
that it didn't turn out well and the way body is position also has an effect
and you'll notice that by changing those methods your latte art will improve enormously
And it will also become very clear after a while the framework
of how latte art works
And one more
People tend to think that a person with 10-plus years of latte art experience
have their own method in learning it faster
And from my experience, it's true
So I really recommend doing it that way
This is artistry, that's why we call it latte artist
Is an element of art where it uses liquid as a drawing material
The more you do it, the more attractive it is
Pretty art comes out from my fingertips, and it can make someone happy
What's even better is that it makes me happy
When you do this, it's so pretty that it makes you feel good and you want to show it to someone
If you are currently planning to open a store. You should be listening do this more carefully than anyone else
Why? Because you can definitely use it every day, the environment is so nice
Then don't I need a machine? No, you can practice without it
If you practice in advance, there's a place to use it later
Then you'll put a real smile on your face in no time
You will be so glad that you learn it in advanced
as it will become so handy later on
There's a lot of home cafes now days
So, if you apply this method, even if it is not milk
You can do it with green tea latte or chocolate latte
Everything can be applied
All you need is a microwave at home
You will be able to practice by putting everything in the microwave
You may have thought it would be difficult and hard to approach it
But I simplified that so from today's class
You will be confident to say that you'll be able to do latte art after taking this class
Then next, then what happens next?
You will be able to add your own touch
That's why we call it artists
Just like when you sing a song, you first learn and sing along but later on
you'll able to sing it with your eyes closed and that is the same sense in this
So, after taking the whole class, you will be able to have your own style
If you are just starting out, this will be the first step
where you'll fall for its charm
If you are currently working as a barista
There won't be any class like this where it'll help you advance your skills
So that everyone can be happy
I created this class with all my personal tips
I hope everyone can get great benefits from my class
This class contains from the heart to. Actually it contains steps before the heart
How to grip, how to use a French press in the microwave, how to draw a heart easily
Starting with that heart, how to draw a leaf called rosetta
Just a rosetta? We'll also focus on how to draw a swan from the rosetta
How do you draw 3 hearts? All those methods are included in the class
For those who can take more challenges
I've also included challenging patterns for you
So you can create more fun and dazzling patterns
I hope you can show off your talents to the fullest
Everyone says that latte art is a skill
As much time as you invested in this class, you are now a latte art technician
Let's do this guys!
