I’ve tried and tried to get actual espresso art, but I can’t seem to get it right. I’m certain my foam is perfect because it’s silky and thick and flows out of the cup well. Any advice?

    Your milk is much too thick (for latte art). It should be the consistency of paint. Generally means you’re stretching it too long at the start. You really only need a few seconds before you put the wand below the surface and whirlpool until you hit your temp. Lance Hedrick has a great video on YouTube on how to get silky micro foam. Give it a look.
