Latte art
Latte art is a method of preparing coffee
created by pouring microfoam into a shot of espresso and
resulting in a pattern or design on the surface of the latte. It can
also be created or embellished by simply drawing in the top layer of
foam.Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to
the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and
milk.This, in turn, is limited by the experience of the barista and
quality of the espresso machine. The pour itself, then, becomes the last
challenge for the latte artist. The term is not limited to latte coffee
but also applies to other beverages containing milk foam, such as
cappuccino and hot chocolate.
