So here is a problem that I run into on most of my pours . . . ghosting. It's when, right before the white white starts to show up, the espresso/milk starts to lighten up significantly. Then as I continue the pour, this "ghosting" effects my contrast on the rest of the pour and it comes out as a much lighter cup than I would like.
How do you get the crazy awesome contrast I see in some videos and Millrock finalists? I know this doesn't significantly effect the flavor, aside from getting a more subdued flavor from the espresso when you sip the drinks. Bottom line, how do I improve my contrast? I just want the drink to be pretty!!
