I set a goal a couple years back that I’m going to figure out latte art. The only catch was that I was starting from zero (couldn’t even pull a shot) and without an espresso machine at home, my only chance to practice was a few times a year when I’m in the office.
Fast forward to today and no, I’m not there yet, but I’m starting to see the finish line.

@daveshea better than any I’ve managed so far. 👍

@daveshea Chances are you’re over frothing the milk near the top of the milk surface. It’s actually a lot less time at that high point in the milk than you’d think it is. Lay a little (emphasis on little) base of milk initially, and then gently lay the milk design on top as it fills. Easier said than done – coming from 7.5 years of experience. You got this!

@thecriterion that totally seems right, thanks!

@thecriterion i can tell it’s a feel thing, and I don’t have the feel. Just trying to brute force it with lots of Youtube and a very limited trial and error feedback loop.

@daveshea awesome! A trick I saw was clanging the steamed pitcher on the counter to settle foam a bit.

@Luke that one I do know! A bit of swirl and a sharp tap or two, also swirling the shot in the mug before pouring the milk.

"What I'm up to – February 2026 edition"
🔗 : https://blog.elenarossini.com/what-im-up-to-february-2026-edition/
a blog post that chronicles what I've been up to this past month: from attending #FOSDEM in Brussels to creating an easy-to-follow self-hosting guide for newbies…
I also discussed what is my "written by a human" handwritten message is at the bottom, for those who may have been confused by it. As I say, it's "an act of defiance and rebellion against AI and LLMs..."

@kiwiWolle thank you! 🥰

...comunque era l'anno dei miei 25 anni (1990) e credevo in questo imminente futuro europeo insieme.
Molto è cambiato, ma l'idea di un'unica grande nazione ancora non si è avverata, e non la vedo nemmeno all'orizzonte. Resto comunque fiducioso, nonostante tutto... 😊

to be fair though, computer skills can't help much with printers. You need to use witchcraft instead.

@_elena failing at printers is a qualification for IT professionals. nobody understands it :)
-
@Gina for sure! 🥰
she's a bit skeptical of my computer skills after I failed to get the printer to work the other day, but I'm trying to restore a good image, LOL

@_elena oh my... good idea. I probably should show my 8 year old daughter my website.
