I have been attempting latte art for a couple of years and was able to, on occasion have a decent pour, but with little consistency and not very impressive results. My new Alexia and Vario rekindled my desire to make great tasting and looking coffee so I went back at it with new motivation. I scoured this site for tips and techniques, and set out with a gallon of milk and a pound of coffee to see what I could do. It turns out it was something relatively simple: I was pouring way to fast. Once I figured this out my pours immediately started to improve. I still have lots of work to do but I am feeling much better about my technique. Thanks again for all of the great info and any critiques would be greatly appreciated!

awesome! I've been pouring too fast ever since I got into it. for whatever reason, I still have trouble making myself pour slow. It looks like you've had better success than me.

Looks great, that is a double in a 20oz cup?
