☕️ Fundamentals First: Get the basics right - 1 shot espresso, 8-10 oz steamed milk, and 1/2 inch milk foam. Familiarize yourself with milk pitcher sizes, cup volumes, and traditional latte ratios to ensure consistency.

📊 Temperature Control: Steam milk to 150-155°F and brew espresso at 195-205°F for optimal flavor extraction. Temperature control is key to preventing scalding and ensuring a silky, smooth texture.

💧 Steaming and Pouring: Master the art of steaming milk to the perfect texture and temperature. Hold the pitcher at an angle, pour from 3-4 inches above the cup, and gradually lower it for a beautiful, layered effect.

🌱 Coffee Bean Selection: Choose high-quality Arabica beans for a nuanced flavor profile. Experiment with roast levels, grind sizes, and tamping techniques to optimize your espresso shot.

🎨 Experimentation Station: Get creative with flavor profiles by adding syrups, spices, and flavorings. Try seasonal or regional flavor combinations to create unique and interesting lattes.
