What temperature do you stop steaming?

I’ve been going by feel, until the pitcher is too hot to hold. Is that around 60°C? My milk seems to lose its shine fast.

    Start a little higher so the milk sinks under the crema, then drop in close.

    Tilt the cup more at the start. It gives you room to build the base.

    Your milk looks slightly thick. Try stretching for a second less.

      Appreciate it, everyone.

    Swirl and tap the pitcher right before you pour to keep the milk glossy.

    That’s a clean pour. The contrast is great!

    Love it! The symmetry is getting so much better.
