Latte art
Posted on August 10, 2003 @ 18:48 in General
Once or twice I've had a latte with a swirly motive created by the mixing of the the dark crema and the light foam of the milk. I never realised it's called "latte art", that it is a hard to master art, and thus that it is the sign of a master barista, until I happened upon a discussion (or two) on the Coffeegeek.com forums. There is a lot of information about latte art on the web, so here are just a couple of links: how to make latte art interview, latte art 101 article, some windows media movies how to pour good latte art, submit your own latte art. And just because we wandered into a great coffee shop in Gothenborg, that had the whole range of Isomac espresso machines on sale. We need one, you see, because we need and appreciate good espressos and lattes... because the steam wand of our crappy, way too cheap Krups machine snapped off a while ago, and because that Krups thing doesn't really make espresso anyway, just something marginally better than drip coffee. We're not addicted... we're afficionados.

Since MT-Blacklist inexplicably stopped working I had no other recourse than close comments and trackbacks to stop the spam. I've been meaning to correct this for quite a while, but life got in the way... in a good way I should add.
