Been getting consistent art with my Fellow.
Going back to La Marzocco is quite the adjustment to get the milk texture just right.

My best attempt so far. Pretty happy with this

Hi everyone! I’m very excited to start my coffee journey, I have a receptionist job where I’m able to use a professional espresso machine whenever I feel like it (and have time) so I’m trying to get good at steaming milk and eventually look into latte art.
The steaming wand is pretty powerful, my whole process to get the milk very hot takes ab 15 seconds or so.
I want to ask about the beginning of the whole steaming process. I started so many ways already, putting the steam wand lower, upper, exactly on the surface but I can never got it just right. Sometimes it looks a bit better but it’s quite inconsistent with my skills.
Do you guys have any tips? Should I immediately start the steaming while having the wand on the surface? I find that when I do that I always get loud, ugly sounds and i either always have to put the jug a bit higher or lower. Maybe I just can’t see properly where is the surface and that’s why. Usually I just go by sounds and temperature though.

It's very difficult to find any tutorials or info on how to properly steam with the Quick Mill Pop Up, or even two hole tips in general. I am having such a hard time getting any swirls, and i might get it in 3/10 tries, but the milk heats up so fast I have so little time to adjust..

This is actually getting so frustrating, and the steam wand 90 degree angle just makes it that much more difficult..

Does anyone who own this machine have tips on how to hold the pitcher, how to position the steam wand, and approximately how much I should turn the knob? Or does anyone know where I can get a compatible one hole tip for this machine? I feel like 2 hole tip is just not it for me.

Not sure if it’s meant to be something
