tbh i'm just making my coffees absent-minded most of the time so it's all micro mistakes with milk prep (mostly this) and the pouring process that i screw up.

do you think it's more milk prep (don't have clear separation b/w your white and brown at the end) or more your pouring technique and paying attention to when the foam hits?

mostly milk prep I think, got a new machine with a much more powerful steam wand recently and haven't really taken the time to practice

For me, it's 95% Steam wand, so I'm not surprised. Which machine?

upgraded from a breville bambino to rancilio silvia!

What do you like about it over the Breville?

the breville didn't really get hot enough for light roasts in my experience. it was fine for medium roasts and milk drinks, but could never get anything that wasn't super sour with light roasts

oh damn. i gotta try your machine sometime lol. mine does ok, but it takes several minutes frothing to get the temperature right
