I’VE always wondered how baristas make those magic flowers in your cup of coffee. Finally tiring of my endless musing, I went along to Gridlock Coffee in Melbourne and pestered World Latte Art Champion Con to show me a few moves. He can free pour like nobody’s business.
Whaddaya know though (Joe), it’s not as easy as it looks. Con stands behind me and helps me wobble out a five-leaf tulip like he’s teaching me to play pool. Then it’s my turn to go it alone. Faster than you can say “Ow, that’s hot,” I’ve run out of cup.
Keeper? I’m leaving this one to the professionals.
I liked your modern abstract, actually. Could prove to be a whole new craze in coffee art and make you rich and famous:-)
It won’t make me popular, Kate, but I’m thinking of marketing it to Gloria Jean’s.
Don’t bother. It’d take more than a foam facelift to fix their awful brew.
