Heart latte

Also known as heart pour · corazón latte · latte heart

What it is and what sets it apart: First pattern proving flow control and the cut. Basis for tulip and rosetta.

At the bar: High mix → lower and build a white circle → push forward and cut through the centre while lifting.

Impact on the drink: Impact: quick readout of your microfoam; if it fails, fix texture before wrist.

Common mistakes: Late cut. Tip too high while drawing. Dull milk.
