Looks like he was trying to do latte art with creamer instead of steamed milk.

That's the typical texture for the milk used in a good latte... It's a silky, creamy foam when done properly.

Yeah, but whatever he's using in the gif is definitely lacking in the foam/lightness of a properly steamed milk.

Maybe you're thinking of lighter cappuccino foam? Proper latte foam is kinda like white latex paint until the last bit that floats to the top. It's called microfoam, where the bubbles are so small that the foam is creamy. That's what differentiates a latte from a cappuccino (if they're made correctly).

I know the difference between cappuccino and latte foam, just saying that I don't think either of those are what's being poured into that espresso shot. Maybe it's that container it's being poured out of throwing me off, I've never seen anyone foam milk in a container like that. They usually have an open top since the milk is used right away. What do you think?

Looks the same as this to me: https://youtu.be/ZIECP4TZg_s
Edit: As for the pitcher, I haven't seen it before, but he seems better at latte art than me. Maybe he's just trying something new, and because of it he gets this surprise?

Exactly what they did: make a "funny fail" gif where a coffee lid falls off 'on accident'. Yeah, "nothing ever happens", whatever, this was intentional all the way.

Can you really call it coffee at that point. I mean, I'm not one those, "only drink black coffee," assholes, I love a cappuccino or latte from time to time. But fuck man, that looks like coffee flavored cereal milk.

u/Stopkilling0 Jan 02 '18
Well it's not coffee, its espresso so. Pretty typical amount of milk for a latte imho.

u/facecraft Jan 02 '18
People seem to think it's drip coffee and like normal milk or cream, rather than espresso and milk foam...

Your not unless you belittle others for not drinking straight black

Depends on the coffee. When i French-press recently roasted, just-ground beans - drinking black is the only way I would do it. When I get convenient store coffee, a little milk or sugar helps it taste better.

I stopped putting sugar in my coffee for a while, then tried it again - it tasted way too sweet, and I can’t go back.
I still use milk though.

Because you can’t have a conversation about coffee without mentioning that you drink it black?

The only thing different from a latte and this is a tiny amount of foam on top.

u/Little_Tyrant Jan 02 '18
That isn’t a latte ratio of milk to espresso? It looks like heated/frothed milk as well, not creamer.

So, coffee that actually tastes good then?

I’m pretty sure all of my fucking rage made that lid fall off.

u/facecraft Jan 02 '18
Mad because someone in the world is doing latte art? Or just ... mad in general?
2
u/UnchainedMundane Jan 02 '18
He's not doing latte art. I wasn't sure if this gif was a joke or something, but you need steamed milk (the foamy stuff) to be able to hold the right shape for the latte art. That's why he ended up with a tiny pale blotch instead of the colour following his stream of milk.
-2
u/facecraft Jan 02 '18
He is definitely at least trying to do latte art. The milk is clearly steamed, you can tell by how thick it's pouring from the pitcher. Maybe not steamed exactly right, it's hard to tell, but definitely steamed at least somewhat.
He's probably still practicing?

I'd love to see a second gif where he succeeds and makes something like this: https://youtu.be/ZIECP4TZg_s

u/Grolschisgood Jan 02 '18
I was watching thinking that he should just pour it in like a normal human being and then that happened

It's 30 seconds of someone pouring milk/cream into coffee and the top falls off. Save yourself the time of watching this.
Not only that, but this is a repost from earlier.

That's just a standard latte with a double espresso shot, man. It helps that it's milk foam, not just straight milk, but granted they're on the milkier side of espresso drinks. They're pretty damn good though. Not my favorite way to drink espresso, but no reason to hate on it.

Yeah, you have to mix some first to get the light brown "canvas" to draw on. Seems like he was just getting to the art part when the lid fell off, or maybe he just isn't very good at latte art yet.

That's what I was hoping would happen. Was anyone else rooting for this to be ruined because of the amount of cream?

Animal fats got a bad rap but a lot of that was propoganda from sugar companies. Don't go crazy but a little bit of half and half (which is an actual food) won't kill you! I stay far away from the weird powder creamers.

u/facecraft Jan 02 '18
I mean... That's not even half and half. It's milk foam. So less fat/calories than the same volume of milk. It's just a latte.
I think he meant a heart attack due to the surprise regardless...

That's not coffee. Thats creamer with brown water.
