Improving your latte art technique as a beginner barista involves mastering the crucial step known as the "stop and drop." This technique is all about controlling the flow of froth from your milk jug to create more precise and consistent patterns. After blending your coffee and milk to about three-quarters full, the key is to pause briefly—no more than two seconds. This allows you to prepare for the "drop," where you bring the jug closer to the cup and pour with conviction, ensuring that the froth, which has settled at the bottom, is pushed out evenly. This controlled approach helps you achieve more defined latte art patterns by preventing unwanted twists or inconsistent froth distribution.

To get the hang of this technique, start by practicing with water to perfect the motion before moving on to steaming milk. Covering a cup of steamed milk with a dusting of chocolate can also be a helpful practice method without wasting coffee. As you gain confidence, incorporate coffee into your practice, focusing on maintaining a steady flow and controlling the froth's exit from the jug. Mastering the stop and drop will greatly enhance your ability to create beautiful latte art, even if you're pouring hundreds of coffees a day. This small but significant change can be a turning point in your latte art journey..

In this video Jimmy is going to break it all down for you. With this technique mastered you will be pouring amazing latte art that will wow your friends, family and co-workers.
