Do the Move With Quirky Jerk
Another failed attempt at latte art. However, I learned a big reason why I continue to mess up the pour. I don’t drink lattes. I just drink espresso. Prior to practice time, I make myself a few shots first. Then I attempt my latte art practice. So instead of having the steady hands of a surgeon, my hands are shaking like a meth addict in a blizzard.
For my next practice, I will not drink any espresso prior to my latte art attempt. Maybe then I won’t make that quirky jerk. Until then I give you the radiating heart.

From my perspective, it seems like the difficulty is the rapid and precise hand movements, that require either drinking a lot of lattes or wasting milk to get the amount of practice you need. Perhaps if you tried just pouring water into a cup over and over and over and over and over and over again, and then just doing the real lattes when you wanted one. Sure, there probably is no such thing as water art, but it may prove useful in at least letting you wiggle your hands in that latte art fashion just for practice.
