Latte art is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso and resulting in a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte.

I love it when simple everyday things are given a little something special, its like making the ordinary…  EXTRAORDINARY… And that is exactly what “Latte Art” is, the new trend in coffee embellishment… Not only does this require an artistic side, but technique, precision and even physics are required … And people are getting really, really creative…

Here are a few of my favorite:

And for those of you brave enough to try it out, here is a “easy” latte art tutorial from Klatch Coffee.

I wish all my coffees came like this
