When making a latte, don't dump the milk/foam on top. Slam the jug a couple of times onto the counter to kill the big bubbles (maybe even pour off a little bit). Then turn the cup handle to the left and pour into the center, a little bit closer towards yourself, so milk goes to the bottom and forms a circle in the center. Gently continue pouring, and when the cup starts getting full, push the jug forward as you pour to form a heart, a simplest design to make.
You should see the espresso around your design (or at least a darkish foam).

re large jug: yes that's right. That's what I meant by filling the jug half way. basically more milk meansmore time to get it right. Also the steam will break down big bubbles into smaller ones, so as the vortex is going, try and catch the big bubbles with the tip of the wand. you'll see them disappear below the surface and they will become smaller.

Another Saturday in a tiny coffee house. The art of steaming milk still eludes me, much respect to the baristas that can make microfoam.
