At the moment i'm getting the same sort of stuff, sometimes it works sometimes not but practise is the best option. Learning from reading others posts is also a great way to increase skill. Good Stuff. back to top christian_sf Senior Member Joined: 29 May 2008 Posts: 10 Location: San Francisco Expertise: I love coffee Posted Mon Aug 11, 2008, 9:24am Subject: Re: an Amature's Rosetta Latte   Thanks for the comments!!

It was early so I was in auto-pilot mode.   Thanks for sharing - keep going it keeps getting better IMHO Dwight back to top christian_sf Senior Member Joined: 29 May 2008 Posts: 10 Location: San Francisco Expertise: I love coffee Posted Tue Aug 12, 2008, 7:33am Subject: Re: an Amature's Rosetta Latte   Dwight, Thanks man. Yes, I'm using the Gold Pro 2 tip. It works remarkably well, compared to stock. Nice work on yours as well, it looks great.

Posted Tue Aug 12, 2008, 8:00am Subject: Re: an Amature's Rosetta Latte   Nice work, and it does seem to get easier with time and practice.  I'm no pro, but one thing that helped me was to try gripping the pitcher in different ways to try and find one way that works best for the art while also being comfortable.  Most times I'll just grip the sides of the pitcher rather than the handle, and it just feels more comfortable to me to pour that way.  Rattleware has a pitcher without a handle that is perfect for this, although it's a little more expensive than the standard handle pitchers - maybe I will just cut the handle off mine lol. back to top view previous topic | view next topic | view all topics Discussions > Espresso > Latte Art > an Amature's...   updated topics   new posts   new unanswered     search   faq   sign up   Not Logged in: log in Discussions Quick Jump: Select Espresso Discussions --Espresso Machines --Lever Espresso Machines --Grinders - Espresso --Espresso Mods and Restorations --Espresso Blends --Questions and Answers --Latte Art and Etching --Barista Jams Around the World --General Discussion Coffee Discussions --Machines and Brewing Methods --Home Roasting Talk --Questions and Answers --General Discussion Columns, How-Tos, and Reviews --Holiday Gift List Feedback --CoffeeGeek Columnist Feedback --Detailed Review Feedback --Products First Look Feedback --Quickshot Review Feedback --Guide Article Feedback --How-To Article Feedback --CoffeeGeek Podcast Feedback Members Forum --Bug Reports and Suggestions --Buy, Sell and Trade --Retail Coffee Jobs Offered / Wanted Ads --Coffee Recipes --Cafe and Bean Reviews --CoffeeGeek Site Info and News --General Off Topics World Regional --United States West --United States Central --United States East --Western Canada --Eastern Canada --United Kingdom --Western Europe --Eastern Europe, Nordic Countries, and Russia --Central and South America --Australia, New Zealand and Asia Symbols: = New Posts since your last visit      = No New Posts since last visit     = Newest post Forum Rules: No profanity, illegal acts or personal attacks will be tolerated in these discussion boards.
