Cheapest Latte Art making?

Have you ever thought of creating those milk pattern in your coffee at home but don't have money to buy the espresso machine? Or if you're like me, have a great espresso machine that cannot steam but have the needs to make that occasional cappuccino for others? Here's a solution followed.

Today, I just want to share my recent discovery that you can actually produce latte art with a French Press that is merely a sub RM50 coffee maker! Hooray! Here's the video.

What you need:
1) French Press
2) Milk pitcher
3) Coffee Maker(Espresso Machine or Aeropress)


Tips:
1) Pull up and down the plunger and try to maintain same height each time, in order to avoid making big bubbles
2) Aim for about 30-50% milk expansion, very important
3) Let the milk settle for 15-20 seconds before pouring. Also key step here.

You're welcome to ask any question. Will try to help as much as possible.


p/s: But it still holds true that you need to fork out quite a bit for making good latte/cappuccino, especially the grinder is the key link of the setup.
