Steaming milk can be one of the biggest challenges for any aspiring barista or home user. Ultimately, we believe in the importance of hands-on learning to quickly improve but there are some fundamental skills that can be applied through online learning.

Check out this little video we made in partnership with La Marzocco Home Australia - we teach some fundamental skills and the positioning needed to steam good milk but also run through troubleshooting on some common issues.

When it comes down to it, nothing beats in-person, small group learning. Courses like our Basic Espresso course are crucial to learning the right technique and habits that are guaranteed to greatly improve your milk steaming skills in a short period of time.

For any home baristas out there, we also do private barista courses in the comfort of your own home using your equipment. It is easy to be stuck making the same mistake on your coffee machine for months (or even years!) but we are confident in our ability to diagnose and resolve these issues in a short period of time. We love seeing people make better coffee at home and are always here to help! Hit us up in the comments if you have any questions about steaming milk.
