I have always struggled with latte art. I got told when I first started training that I had a 'knack' for coffee and in that sense I do feel like I understand about espresso and create well textured milk. But in regards to latte art I really lack consistency at the moment. When I first started making coffee I worked with an amazing La Marzocco coffee machine. At this point though I was just starting out. Now, when I am really keen to develop my skills I am working with a really old, poorly maintained machine that doesn't deliver on consistency. The crema is just not rich enough and I have to wait for the steam wand to heat up, then make the espresso afterwards. I therefore feel like I am fighting a losing battle!!

As you can probably tell I have used coco powder on top of the espresso to try and make it more defined because the espresso isn't good enough. I mean it can look cool like this but it is obviously better if the espresso can stand alone too! (I only do this for cappuccinos, obviously ).
