Ever since I got a decent espresso machine I’ve been practising doing latte art—those fancy-pants designs in your cuppa that coffee-shop baristas throw off with aplomb. But since I only pull one or two shots a day at most, it’s slow going. (That’s my excuse anyway, and I’m sticking with that rather than the alternative, which is I’m just totally useless at it.)
Anyhoo, this morning I managed to pour a nice little rosetta in Peter’s mocha latte. I was so thrilled I sent Peter to grab a camera to take a picture of it. By the time the photo was snapped the surface of the foam had degraded a bit (so it’s a bit pockmarked and gross-looking), but maybe, finally, I’m getting the hang of this thing!
