<p>Hi Bro,<br/><br/>That's a brilliant piece of advice.<br/><br/>Actually, I find that if you try to watch at the pouring line sideways,<br/>you cannot keep an eye at the spot. Since the cup is filling and the spot changes from the bottom to the top.<br/><br/>I only watch at the pouring line sideways when I start pouring up to 1/2 or 1/3 (to create the base). Then, I start watching at the stream from the pitcher as you advised.<br/><br/>But it's tricky because you have to position your head above the pitcher in<br/>such a way you can see the pouring line developing.<br/><br/>If you position your head just above the pitcher, you only see what's coming out of the pitcher; but you cannot see the pouring line.<br/><br/>I guess it's a matter of practising.<br/>I should position my head just slightly on the left of the pitcher.<br/>That way I can keep a constant eye on the spot and see when the cup is full (and avoid spilling :D)<br/><br/>I'll keep practising.<br/>Thank you for your hint.<br/><br/>Cheers,<br/><br/><br/>Laurent<br/>=====================================<br/><br/> <br/> <cite>Evan Joseph-Pinero said:</cite></p>
