How to Pour the Tulip Pattern on a Coffee - Latte Art Lesson
Here we are teaching you the basics of pouring a tulip pattern for latte art. The tulip is one of the three standard latte art patterns that people pour. The other two popular patters are the 'Heart' and the 'Rosetta'.
The Tulip is made by pouring a series of blobs which get pushed forward and spread out as they are stacked one after another. In this video Jimmy is talking you through the process of doing this so hopefully you can practice and do this one for yourself.
If you need further instruction on the other elements of pouring latte art like preparing your milk and technique you will find all these videos and plenty more on our YouTube channel. Hopefully you find a few tips in here from Jimmy that help you out in your quest to pour great latte art. If you have any questions don't forget to leave us a comment.

In this video, I'm going to talk you through the simple steps to pouring
0:03
a beautiful tulip just like this.
0:26
All right, so let's get stuck straight into it and get our coffee on.
0:29
Of course, we need to make sure that we've got some great coffee beans.
0:34
Something like Artisti's Champion blend that we're using today
0:37
is going to make sure
0:38
that you're getting a great extraction to pour your latte art through.
0:42
So if you don't have a good shot,
0:43
it's always going to be a little bit more challenging for you.
0:49
So we want to get that on.
0:56
Today I'm going to split this shot
1:00
into two 190 mil cups.
1:07
These are an Acme & Co cup that are beautiful to pour into.
1:10
A nice bowl shaped cup is always going to help you
1:15
get good flow and movement through the cup.
1:21
So just get a shot on there.
1:24
Lovely.
1:26
Now let’s spin our milk. Ooops been
1:29
making a mess.
1:31
Now we have lots of videos on extractions, other videos,
1:34
masterclasses on spinning milk.
1:36
So I won't go into it too much today, but we do need to make sure that we have
1:40
a good amount of froth in there
1:44
to work with.
1:46
And I'm going to get both of my milks out of this.
1:49
Now, while I'm at it, I will give a shout out to Designer Living Kitchens.
1:53
We are currently shooting in a beautiful showroom here on the Coffs Coast,
1:58
so thanks to them, if you're ever on the coast and need a new
2:02
kitchen fit out, be sure to get in touch with the team.
2:04
So very grateful for them.
2:08
Lovely.
2:13
All right.
2:14
So, got your shot.
2:16
Got your milk textured.
2:19
Now what we're
2:20
aiming to do, what's going to help spin that shot?
2:24
We want to spend
2:25
half the cup blending the coffee and milk so you have a canvas to pour onto.
2:29
Then we're focusing on the tip of our jug, falling
2:33
at about a third closer to your jug, doing a blob and pushing it up.
2:38
Now I'm going to aim for about five on this one.
2:42
So here is our mix of coffee and milk.
2:45
I'm going to drop down the bottom blob and push up blob and push up
2:51
three, four,
2:53
five and lift and pull through.
2:56
So there's a five.
2:58
Now, if you add a little wiggle, you do add some extra shapes in there.
3:04
So, again,
3:06
break up the crema
3:08
make sure your milk is spun
3:10
and ready for you to pour.
3:13
Now let's see how many we get in here.
3:16
But again, angle the cup.
3:19
Get a good mix
3:20
of coffee and milk.
3:24
Blob and push up.
3:26
Blob and push up. Blob and push up.
3:29
So you can stack as many as you can in there.
3:32
And when you're ready, lift and pull through.
3:37
And that is a simple tulip pattern that you can practice.
3:42
So the main things that you're focusing on is getting that cup half full
3:46
with coffee and milk.
3:47
So you have a canvas to pour onto.
3:49
So when you're ready for that froth to come out,
3:51
you can stop, dive back in closer to the left so that when you do that blob,
3:56
you push it up, pull out and drop again and push up.
4:00
And you're continuing to do that.
4:02
Now, you can stack as many as you like in there.
4:05
Practice your milk, practice your pour and get them in there.
4:08
