I am always like 90% there. I used to stretch for about four seconds for lattes and about six for caps. After going to a class at our roaster, I've found I had more luck doing three or four individual stretches for lattes and more for caps. I keep going through really good and really bad phases with it.

My milk is never consistent, but I think that may be the machine. I worked at our second location the other day which has a new machine, and my milk was beautiful. I still had some trouble with latte art, partly because I wasn't used to actually getting milk that good and consistent, and partly because I was really hungover. The thing that gets me though is my boss and one of my coworkers are doing five and six layer tulips on the crap machine, while I'm struggling to get a basic tulip. I'll upload a few pics in the morning, and maybe a video of me doing one if I have the time tomorrow. But I was wondering if this had happened to anyone else.
