How to make latte art swan
If you are new to latte art then this is not the best pattern to start out with as a new barista, there are a number of techniques you need to master first! When you have those perfected and are ready though the swan is a popular latte art and will soon become a simple process for you. Here is a guide to pouring a latte art swan and some tips to help you get the best results. Keep in mind that it is always a great idea to make sure you have a great cup of espresso first as it affects how the pouring goes. You want an espresso that is smooth and velvety so the milk mixes perfectly with the coffee. Here is swan latte art step by step.
Step One
First, fill your jug with milk foam and make sure you swirl it. Pour away some of the top part of the foam. Start the pour higher up to the cup’s middle so the milk sinks below the espresso and get more contrast in art when it is finished. This is referred to as ‘brown cup’ in the world of baristas. Pour everywhere in the coffee cup so there is movement until the cup is about half full.
Step Two
When doing swan latte art or any latte art you should have the cup tilted slightly. At half full, you are ready to start the swan. Just take a pause for a second after the brown cup phase so you set up the surface making it firmer so the pattern does not spread too thin and out of control.
Step Three
Increase the radius and move the jug down so the spout is over the coffee by about 1and a half centimetres. Pour until there is a half-moon in the coffee cup and stop.
Step Four
Now you need to do the same move as when you make the rosetta shape in other latte art, reinserting the jet and filling them moving in a wavy pattern towards yourself.
Step Five
Now rather than the usual movement of passing the milk jet through the center of those waves, for the swan latte art, you need to pull the jet along the side of the rosetta to create the wing shape.
Step Six
When you are at the bottom of the swan wing, drag the jug to you to make the neck making sure you bend neck the neck in a u shape when you are at the top of the cup.
Step Seven
Now in the swan latte art step by step guide, you are at the end with the swan head. Move the jug closer to the latte and create a small heart then lift up for a thin jet.
Conclusion
There you have it, how to make latte art swan in seven steps! Remember it will take practice to perfect it and you need some basic skills and techniques before you start on this one. A great way to learn is to record yourself trying and then you can see where you go wrong and correct it. Just do not rush the process!
