This article provides a step-by-step guide on how to create beautiful latte art by explaining the fluid dynamics of pouring steamed milk onto espresso.
Pouring beautiful steamed-milk designs on espresso drinks isn't neuroscience, but it can be tricky to get a grasp on the fluid dynamics of milk meeting espresso. Breaking down the genesis of any latte-art design into the four main components of its creation, however, can make the process easier to digest—unless, of course, you're lactose intolerant. Here are the most important aspects to pay attention to when you're pouring, to get something lovely and deliberate in the cup every time.
Because you don't immediately want a tidal wave of white foam to overpower your brown coffee canvas, the first thing you need to do is let some of the liquid steamed milk create a base layer under the espresso before placing the foam on top to make the design. To do this, think of the milk stream as being like someone jumping into a pool from a diving board, and think of the espresso in the cup as being the water in that pool. A high diver not only starts her descent far away from the surface of the water, but she also tries to make her body as narrow and compact as possible when she makes entry contact with that water, in order to create as few ripples and as little turbulence in the pool as possible. The first milk that you pour into your coffee should be like this high diver: Thin—about the thickness of a mouse's tail—and poured from slightly above the surface of the coffee, about 2 inches or so. If the high diver is looking to pierce the water, then a belly-flopper hopes to splay out on top—just like you'll need your foam to do in order to make a heart or even a rosetta (eventually). To maximize the effect of the flop while minimizing the pain, this swimmer might get right close to the surface of the water before jumping in, which is just what you need to do with your milk to start to lay the foam on to
