Steaming with soap and water

Check out this video that I found over at homebarista.com. It’s a training video where Scott Rao demonstrates steaming and latte art technique, but he’s not using milk. Instead he uses water with a single drop of dishwashing detergent. The end result looks identical to microfoam made from milk. Pretty cool.

New champ

Congrats to Gwilym Davies from the UK who won the 10th World barista championship yesterday! Three in a row for the UK. Wow!
