Ok, I have not been able to get decent latte art because whenever I steam the milk, I get thick foam on top. This is great for cappuccinos, but latte art can't have all that foam. Whenever I pour the milk, the foam comes off onto the top of it. I also hit the pitcher against the counter to pop the bigger bubbles, and lately I've stirred it while pulling the shot, hoping that would stop the foam from coming up. When steaming it, I have the wand just below the surface to the point where it sounds like bacon frying. I have read around and done all the recommended things and my milk still doesn't steam well for latte art. Any tips?
