Feel bored? Same old coffee breaks you take each day at work? Want something new?

Ever heard of latte art?

Latte is a kind of coffee drink made with hot milk. But this ain’t just any coffee you find anywhere. No worries, there’s no extra ingredient added. Latte art is basically a combination of art and coffee in one! And yeah, that’s possible. I can’t even stop adoring this latte art of a cute bear here!

So I did some research and here’s what I found out.

Latte art is a known style of pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso. That then results to the patterns or designs that appear on the surface. Others literally ‘draw’ on these foam that form to create more intrinsic designs. Isn’t that awesome?… And better yet, there are people who specialize in doing coffee mixes. An expert in such creations is called a ‘barista‘. And the well-known espresso machine does this trick too.

Many other designs are available. Anything your mind could think of is possible. You can be as creative or as complicated as you can get. You could feel like an expert and get designs with a single pour, or multiple pours! Or even add some etching using some stirrer…
