Chapter 04 : Section 02
How to hold the Pitcher and Cup

1
00:00:04.350 --> 00:00:06.530
Hello, everyone at Unspecialty Edu

2
00:00:06.530 --> 00:00:10.330
I am barista Ji-yu Lee and I'll be leading this latte art class 

3
00:00:10.330 --> 00:00:13.610
Nice to meet you. We have met several times already, haven't we?

4
00:00:13.610 --> 00:00:19.010
Last time, we talked about the structure of the body. If you create a good posture beforehand,

5
00:00:19.010 --> 00:00:23.370
Now let's talk about how to hold the hands and position the fingers

6
00:00:23.370 --> 00:00:26.370
So, one of the things I want to mention again is,

7
00:00:26.370 --> 00:00:30.170
Instead of doubting yourself if you can do is or not

8
00:00:30.170 --> 00:00:35.600
Drawing based on your feelings and emotions is not necessary in this class

9
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:40.050
Because when we do well, our feelings and emotions might help

10
00:00:40.050 --> 00:00:46.550
but when we're trying to build the foundation it is important to follow me and synchronize with me

11
00:00:46.550 --> 00:00:50.600
So, as I mentioned, we are debuting as dance singers

12
00:00:50.600 --> 00:00:57.200
Today, I will show you how to accurately position and move the five fingers

13
00:00:57.200 --> 00:01:01.400
So you can always check as your own observer and supervisor 


14
00:01:01.400 --> 00:01:06.320
and see if anything feels weird, if your fingers are in the right positions 


15
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:12.370
when you are practicing alone or when you are trying to film yourself 

16
00:01:12.370 --> 00:01:15.480
Then let's proceed with today's class

17
00:01:15.480 --> 00:01:20.375
Today's class is about pitcher placement and cup placement

18
00:01:20.375 --> 00:01:24.530
You should hold it the same way as me so that it's easier to find errors

19
00:01:24.530 --> 00:01:29.970
I think the style I'm using right now is the most comfortable way to use

20
00:01:29.970 --> 00:01:35.020
It doesn't hurt my shoulders much, and it seems to be the least tiring when using for a long time

21
00:01:35.020 --> 00:01:39.200
so I'll share that method with you. Starting with the pitcher 

22
00:01:39.200 --> 00:01:45.170
You're probably holding it in various ways as you’re watching the video

23
00:01:45.170 --> 00:01:50.275
But is that method still a good one even when the difficulty increases in the future?

24
00:01:50.275 --> 00:01:52.020
This is something you should check

25
00:01:52.020 --> 00:01:54.540
If you have any existing habits

26
00:01:54.540 --> 00:01:58.625
It might be annoying to change this habit, to be honest

27
00:01:58.625 --> 00:02:01.640
But if you change it once, you can continue using it

28
00:02:01.640 --> 00:02:07.210
So, in the beginning, when you keep going back to your old habits, please cheer yourself on

29
00:02:07.210 --> 00:02:11.075
You are trying hard enough right now, let's do our best today too

30
00:02:11.075 --> 00:02:14.960
You should start from this point

31
00:02:14.960 --> 00:02:17.430
You can do this! I'll be cheering for you too

32
00:02:17.430 --> 00:02:22.026
If your fingers hurt too much, something is actually wrong

33
00:02:22.026 --> 00:02:25.280
Think of awkwardness as something natural

34
00:02:25.280 --> 00:02:29.510
Once you know this method, you can practice it at home while watching TV

35
00:02:29.510 --> 00:02:32.376
You can have your pitcher with you and when it's ad time 


36
00:02:32.376 --> 00:02:36.560
Do a lot of lifting and releasing, and you will become familiar with it

37
00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:41.670
Like for me it feels so natural just like I'm using my chopsticks

38
00:02:41.670 --> 00:02:44.676
It doesn't hurt much and I use them so naturally

39
00:02:44.676 --> 00:02:48.370
Because we don't always wonder how to use the chopsticks every time we use them now do we

40
00:02:48.370 --> 00:02:52.610
If you get used to it, you can just hold the pitcher instinctively 

41
00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:56.226
You won’t be thinking about how to hold it and stuff

42
00:02:56.226 --> 00:02:59.460
Let me explain this method again in detail

43
00:02:59.460 --> 00:03:04.290
If you see, when the pitcher is like this, you divide it in half

44
00:03:04.290 --> 00:03:06.826
Think of this as the lower body

45
00:03:06.826 --> 00:03:10.040
Because all the milk is at the bottom, right?

46
00:03:10.040 --> 00:03:13.470
And think of the upper part as the upper body

47
00:03:13.470 --> 00:03:16.621
This part where the pitcher milk comes out is the mouth

48
00:03:17.770 --> 00:03:20.940
The handle closest to the mouth becomes the neck

49
00:03:20.940 --> 00:03:26.040
And this part next to the lower body is like the buttocks

50
00:03:26.040 --> 00:03:29.620
When you look at the structure of the human body,

51
00:03:29.620 --> 00:03:34.520
People with strong lower body may also live longer and healthier lives

52
00:03:34.520 --> 00:03:39.500
If we want to have a long and successful career in latte art, we also need to strengthen our lower bodies

53
00:03:39.500 --> 00:03:44.376
Then take a look. This part is responsible for the lower body

54
00:03:44.376 --> 00:03:47.850
First of all, it’s important to have a good grip

55
00:03:47.850 --> 00:03:50.660
If you look at the pitcher structure,

56
00:03:50.660 --> 00:03:55.560
The pitcher looks like this, but I only have five fingers

57
00:03:55.560 --> 00:04:01.680
Although I only have five fingers, you can hold it equally on both sides

58
00:04:01.680 --> 00:04:05.930
In order to hold it with the feeling of moving it,

59
00:04:05.930 --> 00:04:08.760
That's why we hold the pitcher in various ways

60
00:04:08.760 --> 00:04:12.410
Some people hold it like this, and some hold it like this

61
00:04:12.410 --> 00:04:14.440
I've also tried holding it in various ways before

62
00:04:14.440 --> 00:04:18.376
But when I try to increase the difficulty while practicing,

63
00:04:18.376 --> 00:04:21.640
Other ways besides the grip method right now are a bit distracting

64
00:04:21.640 --> 00:04:25.060
So we don't know what we will be doing later, you guys 

65
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:28.410
So it would be better to start off with a good method

66
00:04:28.410 --> 00:04:33.060
Well then, let's see. We need to grip the lower body well

67
00:04:33.060 --> 00:04:41.160
So when we look at this pitcher again, when we look at just the handle part

68
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.130
The first side of this handle is the thumb position

69
00:04:45.130 --> 00:04:49.026
But how do you place your thumb? Align it with this line

70
00:04:49.026 --> 00:04:52.080
You just need to place your thumbnail here like this 

71
00:04:52.080 --> 00:04:56.530
And then place the thumb to the side like this

72
00:04:56.530 --> 00:05:00.680
So what happens then? It forms a slightly triangular shape here

73
00:05:00.680 --> 00:05:04.990
Look. Hold it like this, aligning it with the nail line

74
00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:09.240
It'll get hot if we do this so if you need to be in a close position

75
00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.270
Look. It forms a slightly triangular shape here

76
00:05:12.270 --> 00:05:15.776
If you ask why this should be aligned with the nail line, 

77
00:05:15.776 --> 00:05:18.720
it's because this goes up more. So you would want to fold it

78
00:05:18.720 --> 00:05:23.340
But if you fold it, there are many cases where the left and right sides become asymmetrical

79
00:05:23.340 --> 00:05:28.640
So what should you do? Think if your thumb comes up more than this, it'll get chopped off

80
00:05:28.640 --> 00:05:31.860
If it comes up it'll get chopped off. With that determination,

81
00:05:31.860 --> 00:05:36.160
please align it with the nail line and make it straight

82
00:05:36.160 --> 00:05:42.420
But how far should you go? If the handle is this long, hold only half of it

83
00:05:42.420 --> 00:05:46.020
Let's look at it from above

84
00:05:46.020 --> 00:05:50.550
Divide it in half, and only one side has the thumb, right?

85
00:05:50.550 --> 00:05:59.100
Then the thumb should touch one side aligned with the nail line

86
00:05:59.100 --> 00:06:03.960
Now, look. When you look at it from the opposite side, it's not just touching to this part

87
00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:07.270
But one side is completely touching here. Right?

88
00:06:07.270 --> 00:06:12.320
So this part of the thumb plays the role of a finger

89
00:06:12.320 --> 00:06:16.670
When they meet like this, here should act as the role of a finger and be touching

90
00:06:16.670 --> 00:06:20.170
Then the thumb's partner is the index finger

91
00:06:20.170 --> 00:06:22.830
But the index finger is very long, right?

92
00:06:22.830 --> 00:06:26.126
So what we do is, this finger needs to be considerate

93
00:06:26.126 --> 00:06:28.280
and become the shape of an open rectangle 

94
00:06:28.280 --> 00:06:32.160
But don't attach it completely like this, just make it into a open rectangle shape

95
00:06:32.160 --> 00:06:35.810
Looking at its length, it matches the position of the second knuckle 

96
00:06:35.810 --> 00:06:41.170
So here, the second knuckle of the index finger is touching, right?

97
00:06:41.170 --> 00:06:44.570
Then how does it work? Since the knuckle is shaped like this

98
00:06:44.570 --> 00:06:49.450
This becomes the shape of putting the thumb here. Making it into a open rectangular shape

99
00:06:49.450 --> 00:06:58.450
Make the index finger like a open rectangle so that the second knuckle touches the pitcher 

100
00:06:58.450 --> 00:07:03.830
Then, look. The thumb is paired with the index finger, so after making it like an open rectangle, 

101
00:07:03.830 --> 00:07:07.880
the second knuckle is touching the pitcher to face the thumb like this

102
00:07:07.880 --> 00:07:13.050
If you see my whole finger isn't touching the pitcher because if it does it put pressure on it

103
00:07:13.050 --> 00:07:17.800
So, after making it into an open rectangle, they are just facing each other

104
00:07:17.800 --> 00:07:19.890
Do you see? They're facing each other

105
00:07:19.890 --> 00:07:23.327
If you completely lower it like this, it will create a space like so

106
00:07:23.327 --> 00:07:25.890
Then, the thumb will push like so

107
00:07:25.890 --> 00:07:28.790
So, they must be facing each other. Okay

108
00:07:28.790 --> 00:07:32.440
Now, there are three fingers left. What do we do with them?

109
00:07:32.440 --> 00:07:38.700
We make a light fist. Hold the light fist and make them into scissors

110
00:07:38.700 --> 00:07:43.650
By making them into scissors and then making them into a open rectangle shape like I just mentioned, 

111
00:07:43.650 --> 00:07:46.900
It becomes this shape. Now, if you look at the fingers,

112
00:07:46.900 --> 00:07:49.727
they are all made into a open rectangle shape

113
00:07:49.727 --> 00:07:52.700
So where do I put this rectangle?

114
00:07:52.700 --> 00:07:57.110
The pitcher looks like this a little bit. If you look at the side, it looks like this

115
00:07:57.110 --> 00:08:03.210
Do you see the endpoint of this corner? You should put the ring finger here and the middle finger here

116
00:08:03.210 --> 00:08:07.030
But say I'm a guy and my hands are too big

117
00:08:07.030 --> 00:08:09.680
So if I put both fingers in, it's too tight

118
00:08:09.680 --> 00:08:13.960
Then what should you do? Let me draw just the handle again

119
00:08:13.960 --> 00:08:18.360
If it's like this, you just need to put the middle finger here

120
00:08:18.360 --> 00:08:23.960
Then you place the ring finger here next to it. Let me explain both

121
00:08:23.960 --> 00:08:26.760
Put both fingers in. What happens is,

122
00:08:26.760 --> 00:08:31.070
The middle finger and ring finger go in like this. Can you see it?

123
00:08:31.070 --> 00:08:35.570
If it goes in like this, it hangs flat even if you let go

124
00:08:35.570 --> 00:08:39.160
So you have to put it at the end because if you lift it up, the buttock drops like this

125
00:08:39.160 --> 00:08:43.611
Making sure the buttock isn't dropping so at the end

126
00:08:43.611 --> 00:08:45.590
Then how do you handle the pinky finger? 

127
00:08:45.590 --> 00:08:49.127
After the nails naturally fit in like this, 

128
00:08:49.127 --> 00:08:51.240
the nails are positioned like this

129
00:08:51.240 --> 00:08:54.610
Now, don’t let the fingerprints touch here

130
00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:56.810
When the fingerprints touch, the hand looks like this, right?

131
00:08:56.810 --> 00:09:01.910
You make the open rectangular shape and place it on the tip of the nail like this. Can you see it?

132
00:09:01.910 --> 00:09:07.160
Then, these two fingers pull this area towards the palm

133
00:09:07.160 --> 00:09:09.810
Pulling it like this, the thumb is next to it

134
00:09:09.810 --> 00:09:12.760
If the index finger is facing each other, and it is held like this

135
00:09:12.760 --> 00:09:17.640
But as I mentioned earlier, if the space here is too tight, what should you do?

136
00:09:17.640 --> 00:09:22.230
I extend the ring finger outward and place the middle finger on the edge

137
00:09:22.230 --> 00:09:26.480
Then, the nail of the ring finger touches the corner like this

138
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:30.840
Look. If you create the same shape and place the middle finger at the end, 

139
00:09:30.840 --> 00:09:33.440
Even without thinking, the nails meet naturally

140
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:36.040
Then what does the middle finger do?

141
00:09:36.040 --> 00:09:39.890
It plays a role in pulling up the palm with this surface

142
00:09:39.890 --> 00:09:45.440
After pulling it up, the thumb should cover the side and the index finger should face it. Can you see it?

143
00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:49.340
So we make them straight like this and handle like this

144
00:09:49.340 --> 00:09:53.840
Even with both fingers inside, we hold them like this and move them like this

145
00:09:53.840 --> 00:10:02.040
The middle finger, ring finger, and pinky finger are all the same shape, right?

146
00:10:02.040 --> 00:10:10.690
But at the corner, the ring finger is placed above the middle finger

147
00:10:10.690 --> 00:10:13.477
But if my hand is too big, then

148
00:10:13.477 --> 00:10:19.240
I can pull the ring finger out and place the middle finger at the corner, like this, right?

149
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:21.670
The pinky finger doesn't have a significant role

150
00:10:21.670 --> 00:10:24.827
No need to separate or pull it out separately

151
00:10:24.827 --> 00:10:29.620
Don't put pressure on the back of your hand like this, and don't keep it straight

152
00:10:29.620 --> 00:10:34.600
It's good to think of folding your hand in half like kneading dough

153
00:10:34.600 --> 00:10:38.300
This shape and the shape that is opened like this are different, right?

154
00:10:38.300 --> 00:10:42.600
Fold your hand to the side like kneading dough, that's how you should think

155
00:10:42.600 --> 00:10:47.390
The thumb is straight to the nail. If you look from above, it's holding the half

156
00:10:47.390 --> 00:10:51.990
The index finger is paired with the thumb. It's holding it like this in an open rectangle shape 

157
00:10:51.990 --> 00:10:56.710
If I hold my fist like this, the ring finger and middle finger are at the end here

158
00:10:56.710 --> 00:11:01.360
At the end of this corner, it's not the front that you see, but the side

159
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:04.360
The pinky fingernail automatically lines up here

160
00:11:04.360 --> 00:11:08.010
If you press against your palm like this, the thumb comes in like this. Right?

161
00:11:08.010 --> 00:11:12.330
So, holding it like this is the most ideal way

162
00:11:12.330 --> 00:11:14.960
If your fingers keep touching here

163
00:11:14.960 --> 00:11:18.120
Turn it towards the thumb. If you turn it towards the thumb, look

164
00:11:18.120 --> 00:11:20.778
It's loosely held. Right?

165
00:11:20.778 --> 00:11:24.120
But if you can't fit two fingers in

166
00:11:24.120 --> 00:11:28.769
Just remove one to the side. Place the ring finger where the pinky finger was earlier

167
00:11:28.769 --> 00:11:30.880
Then put the middle finger in that position

168
00:11:30.880 --> 00:11:32.880
Then there will be more space here, right?

169
00:11:32.880 --> 00:11:37.428
If you lift the palm in the same shape and cover it with the thumb, like this

170
00:11:37.428 --> 00:11:39.830
Look again. It will be loosely held like this

171
00:11:39.830 --> 00:11:42.790
So when you open it all and focus on the ring finger

172
00:11:42.790 --> 00:11:48.590
The side of the ring finger's nail is held like this, the skin of the thumb. Can you see it?

173
00:11:48.590 --> 00:11:51.820
And the middle finger is just supporting like this

174
00:11:51.820 --> 00:11:54.920
These two are just holding each other facing each other

175
00:11:54.920 --> 00:11:58.910
if you want to apply force, then apply force to the back part that you are holding

176
00:11:58.910 --> 00:12:01.160
There's no need to exert too much force on this

177
00:12:01.160 --> 00:12:04.450
When you hold chopsticks, which finger do you apply force to and how?

178
00:12:04.450 --> 00:12:06.800
It's the same as this question

179
00:12:06.800 --> 00:12:13.370
You want to hold it comfortably overall, but no matter what, when it’s your first time, you tend to grip it tightly

180
00:12:13.370 --> 00:12:16.210
When riding a bicycle, you end up gripping the handlebars tightly

181
00:12:16.210 --> 00:12:19.760
But the truth is, gripping the handlebars tightly actually makes it difficult to ride a bicycle

182
00:12:19.760 --> 00:12:22.560
When you first start driving, you tend to grip the steering wheel tightly

183
00:12:22.560 --> 00:12:26.560
But as you become more used to it, the feeling of force gradually diminishes

184
00:12:26.560 --> 00:12:28.610
Rather than how to grip it,

185
00:12:28.610 --> 00:12:32.560
when riding a bicycle, you first see which path to take

186
00:12:32.560 --> 00:12:37.180
When driving, you think about how to maintain your lane and focus on what's ahead

187
00:12:37.180 --> 00:12:43.480
For me, after grasping the pitcher, I can see the directional indicator on top of the espresso cup

188
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:47.240
I can see the path ahead of me, but if this is really uncomfortable,

189
00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:49.390
Then I won't be able to see the path anymore

190
00:12:49.390 --> 00:12:52.628
I call that being blind

191
00:12:52.628 --> 00:12:55.440
Although it seems like I'm looking at it but my focus is here

192
00:12:55.440 --> 00:12:57.900
Then what do we need to practice from now on?

193
00:12:57.900 --> 00:13:04.200
If you look to the side like this, place it on top of your other hand and practice grabbing it and letting go

194
00:13:04.200 --> 00:13:07.340
Grabbing it and letting go is what we need to practice

195
00:13:07.340 --> 00:13:11.178
If this pitcher was placed on the bar after it was steamed

196
00:13:11.178 --> 00:13:14.640
It’s uncomfortable to bend like this, so fold your knees like this at first

197
00:13:14.640 --> 00:13:19.180
The thumb is here. Just practice getting up by positioning it like this

198
00:13:19.180 --> 00:13:23.680
Right now, even if I just grab it, I can position it correctly when lifting it like this

199
00:13:23.680 --> 00:13:28.680
This needs to be comfortable first. And there are some common mistakes that are made here

200
00:13:28.680 --> 00:13:31.890
because the grip method changed it's uncomfortable 


201
00:13:31.890 --> 00:13:34.878
So say if I finished steaming my milk here

202
00:13:34.878 --> 00:13:39.440
The reason why I call this dance is because they have beats in everything

203
00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.860
We use ingredients that have temperature

204
00:13:42.860 --> 00:13:46.528
So if you go off the beat, the song becomes wrong

205
00:13:46.528 --> 00:13:48.760
So there was an error in the dance

206
00:13:48.760 --> 00:13:55.520
You have to grab this, get up, and do something at this beat, but you grabbed this but it's uncomfortable

207
00:13:55.520 --> 00:13:58.120
So you put it down and grab it again

208
00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:02.710
And then if you draw, the espresso has been waiting for a second or two

209
00:14:02.710 --> 00:14:05.560
So state of the espresso might have changed a bit because of the temperature 

210
00:14:05.560 --> 00:14:10.560
So when you grab it and it's uncomfortable, you just have to do it. Why?

211
00:14:10.560 --> 00:14:16.360
If it's uncomfortable right now, you probably won't be perfectly comfortable even if you hold it again

212
00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.970
So even it's uncomfortable, you have to focus on the next step

213
00:14:20.970 --> 00:14:26.720
Hold on a sec. Let me hold it again. There's bubble. If you do this, it's already ruined

214
00:14:26.720 --> 00:14:30.270
This has a beat, and it's like if you're just trying 

215
00:14:30.270 --> 00:14:34.520
to follow yourself  while the other you are dancing away

216
00:14:34.520 --> 00:14:38.350
So that's why you need to practice how to grab this 

217
00:14:38.350 --> 00:14:42.600
Then as we went through the structure of the body last time


218
00:14:42.600 --> 00:14:46.530
We said that the pitcher will be placed in the pit of the stomach with the back of the hand

219
00:14:46.530 --> 00:14:49.880
This is the position we are talking about

220
00:14:49.880 --> 00:14:53.580
If this is how we position ourselves, this is what it'll look like

221
00:14:53.580 --> 00:14:56.880
So if you move your arm, the handling is like this

222
00:14:56.880 --> 00:15:00.580
We don't do this or move like this

223
00:15:00.580 --> 00:15:02.928
So if we hold this well, it becomes like this

224
00:15:02.928 --> 00:15:06.280
Let's say you relax your muscles at the back after grabbing like this

225
00:15:06.280 --> 00:15:08.900
Then it'll come down like this

226
00:15:08.900 --> 00:15:12.400
What happens when it comes down is that it looks like a tunnel

227
00:15:12.400 --> 00:15:14.840
If this move, it moves separately

228
00:15:14.840 --> 00:15:18.640
But if you hold this part too tightly? Then it's totally the opposite

229
00:15:18.640 --> 00:15:20.350
The back needs to be held

230
00:15:20.350 --> 00:15:25.800
The back of something must be held in order to send the object forward well

231
00:15:25.800 --> 00:15:29.550
You can hold it here and draw. If it's not too hot

232
00:15:29.550 --> 00:15:34.800
But you can't hold this part and draw. Why? Because the center of gravity of a liquid is in the back

233
00:15:34.800 --> 00:15:37.840
You get it right? So we have to hold the buttock

234
00:15:37.840 --> 00:15:41.440
Rather, holding it like this will be better for milk to come out

235
00:15:41.440 --> 00:15:46.540
But if we want to continue to enjoy latte art in a variety of ways

236
00:15:46.540 --> 00:15:49.129
And to move to the difficulty levels

237
00:15:49.129 --> 00:15:52.840
It's best if you get this gripping method right

238
00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:56.420
So we've got all the positions set, correct?

239
00:15:56.420 --> 00:16:03.120
Practice this again with a mindset as a observer and as a supervisor

240
00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:05.700
And ask yourself if you are holding it right

241
00:16:05.700 --> 00:16:09.429
And if something hurts, you might be doing something wrong so double-check yourself

242
00:16:09.429 --> 00:16:11.400
So have this kind of mindset when practicing

243
00:16:11.400 --> 00:16:14.860
One more thing. When holding like this, I'll open my palms

244
00:16:14.860 --> 00:16:20.960
When I open it all, the tip of the pitcher touches the middle of the palm like this

245
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:25.060
Touch the tip of the pitcher like this and point it toward your index finger like this

246
00:16:25.060 --> 00:16:29.560
Then if you attach your thumb, it can automatically align with your nail line like this

247
00:16:29.560 --> 00:16:35.250
If you leave the middle end of my palm and raise it towards your index finger and cover your thumb

248
00:16:35.250 --> 00:16:38.600
This might make it a little easier to hold

249
00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.530
When it's lowered, if you grabbed it at once


250
00:16:41.530 --> 00:16:44.880
Then you need to give yourself a lot of compliments

251
00:16:44.880 --> 00:16:48.350
On that day, order what you want to eat. Got it?

252
00:16:48.350 --> 00:16:50.451
Let me show you how to hold a cup

253
00:16:51.600 --> 00:16:54.980
The cup that I am currently using is

254
00:16:54.980 --> 00:16:58.980
a basic round cup

255
00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:04.090
This cup is an 8-ounce cup that can hold 240ml of liquid

256
00:17:04.090 --> 00:17:07.840
For left-handed and right-handed people, the method is the same

257
00:17:07.840 --> 00:17:10.950
We should hold it based on the handle

258
00:17:10.950 --> 00:17:17.600
If you look at it like this and draw a cross based on the handle,

259
00:17:17.600 --> 00:17:21.410
You can see that this is the center and this is the center

260
00:17:21.411 --> 00:17:28.910
So for right-handed people, the handle should face inward like this

261
00:17:28.910 --> 00:17:33.680
Because I'm a leftie. The handle should face inward for right-handed people

262
00:17:33.680 --> 00:17:40.130
Place your thumb on the handle and your index finger on the opposite side, and hold your fingers together

263
00:17:40.130 --> 00:17:43.080
And place your pinky finger like this at the base

264
00:17:43.080 --> 00:17:47.770
If you take it out and see, the shape is like holding it half in the side

265
00:17:47.770 --> 00:17:51.720
With your pinky finger, if you place it here without holding onto anything

266
00:17:51.720 --> 00:17:55.840
It might scare you because it'll feel like the whole thing will fall off

267
00:17:55.840 --> 00:18:01.040
That's why some people hold it like this or hold the handle like this

268
00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:05.250
but it'll be too difficult to draw in all directions later if you hold the handle

269
00:18:05.250 --> 00:18:09.200
Also, it's difficult to use the wrist when placing it on the palm

270
00:18:09.200 --> 00:18:13.791
So, placing it sideways like this is a signal that you will use your wrist

271
00:18:13.791 --> 00:18:19.040
So from here, you can slightly have your finger in here or in the handle part

272
00:18:19.040 --> 00:18:24.370
Place the pinky finger base parallel to the opposite index finger like this

273
00:18:24.370 --> 00:18:26.929
If you place it on the side of your body like this,

274
00:18:26.929 --> 00:18:30.320
When you tilt your shoulder, the cup will naturally stand like this

275
00:18:30.320 --> 00:18:34.120
You don’t want the cup to stand by deliberately raising it like this

276
00:18:34.120 --> 00:18:36.720
Because if so, the pitcher has to go up

277
00:18:36.720 --> 00:18:41.120
But we need to roll along the shoulder and go down in that shape

278
00:18:41.120 --> 00:18:44.720
If it's like this, the sensor is on the shoulder

279
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:50.580
So when we roll the shoulder and go down, then the cup will stand

280
00:18:50.580 --> 00:18:54.680
We only need to go this much from here. It's not a big deal

281
00:18:54.680 --> 00:18:58.160
So if you get used to it, it becomes a really good skill

282
00:18:58.710 --> 00:19:03.590
For left-handed people, just hold it the same way based on the handle and have this one go outwards

283
00:19:03.590 --> 00:19:08.240
Hold it with the thumb, index finger, and pinky finger 

284
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:13.000
If you look at it based on the handle, this is 6 o'clock, so this is the point where we should tilt

285
00:19:13.000 --> 00:19:16.600
What should we do? Since this sensor is attached to the shoulder

286
00:19:16.600 --> 00:19:22.930
Just let it go down, and it will automatically go up from the 6 o'clock to 12 o'clock direction

287
00:19:22.930 --> 00:19:31.080
So as it automatically goes down from the 6 o'clock direction to the 12 o'clock direction

288
00:19:31.080 --> 00:19:34.640
it becomes very symmetrical


289
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:37.925
The symmetry of the picture is one of the thing that baristas 

290
00:19:37.925 --> 00:19:40.440
stresses about when doing latte arts

291
00:19:40.440 --> 00:19:47.030
If you fix this posture and use your upper body to roll together, it becomes symmetrical

292
00:19:47.030 --> 00:19:49.880
So it'll help with that problem

293
00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:54.980
It is a very good skill to give yourself a lot of self-compliments on both shoulders

294
00:19:54.980 --> 00:19:59.730
Then let me show you. I'm holding the cup on the left

295
00:19:59.730 --> 00:20:04.080
Hold the pitcher like this and the whole posture like this

296
00:20:04.080 --> 00:20:09.340
When we draw the picture here, the flow is controlled by the shoulders

297
00:20:09.340 --> 00:20:15.440
If we go like this, it includes forward movement to the side here

298
00:20:15.440 --> 00:20:19.130
The cup and the pitcher are a set. The teamwork between them is important

299
00:20:19.130 --> 00:20:24.080
Once we start like this, have them go together just like this

300
00:20:24.080 --> 00:20:29.630
then milk flows nicely, the cup is positioned well. It works out great for everything. Do you get what I mean?


301
00:20:29.630 --> 00:20:35.370
So if you hold it with your right hand with the handles inward, it'll look like this

302
00:20:35.370 --> 00:20:39.270
Then the tilt is in the 6 o'clock direction. We go down to the 12 o'clock direction

303
00:20:39.270 --> 00:20:44.060
So as a set and stay in the middle, all we need is to do is go down

304
00:20:44.060 --> 00:20:48.610
So in general, the flow and the symmetry align

305
00:20:48.610 --> 00:20:53.410
So you need to bring that observer part of you 

306
00:20:53.410 --> 00:20:57.030
to check if you are holding the cup right

307
00:20:57.030 --> 00:21:02.260
And also the supervisor part of you to correct yourself. Do you get what I mean?

308
00:21:02.260 --> 00:21:05.760
And in our next session, with the same movement we learned today

309
00:21:05.760 --> 00:21:10.160
I'm going to show you how to make the layered heart, and a heart

310
00:21:10.160 --> 00:21:12.030
But before I show you how to do that

311
00:21:12.030 --> 00:21:17.330
You need to align with me when it comes to body posture, how we hold the pitcher, and how we hold the cup

312
00:21:17.330 --> 00:21:22.080
So we can dance together to create that layered heart and the heart 

313
00:21:22.080 --> 00:21:25.731
We're almost there so don't give up

314
00:21:25.731 --> 00:21:27.730
I'll see you next time
