coffee art

At the Pioneer Coffee Roastery in Yandina. These folks know how to make a great cup of coffee, and check out the fancy work with the crema and foam.

Check out their Web Site for more examples of latte art.

Years of practice, I'm guessing. Did you follow the link? Some of the ones on their web stie are even more impressive.

I am already a coffee addict. If the coffee I drank looked anything like this cupy, and tasted half-as-good, I would have to be committed!

Great shot!

Gilfer says:

@muzzi: you doubter, you! Although I must admit I had a moment of doubt myself when they served it up to our table. I had to do a double-take and inspect very closely before I really believed it.

@maxvida: they're far better with coffee than I will ever be with photoshop!

@phototherapist: nope, they work fast. it was piping hot super tasty.

It certainly isn't Star-ucks!

Gilfer says:

SavageWave: Darn straight it's not! I'm sure Starbucks would miss the point entirely and come up with some kind of machine that does this automically, maybe with stencils and a brown dye or something.
Posted 49 months ago. ( permalink )

SavageWave says:

ha! totally. and then market it at an inflated price while calling it 'cool'.

I'm suprised there's not a "Latte Art" Group. Not that I'd start it - I'm just not talented in the Latte ARt category.

Cheeky and Chubby says:

that´s really great. is it done without using a spoon? is it poured that way in one fluid motion, or is a tool used? i´m curious, because generally people can only achieve hearts and rosettas/leaves without using a separate tool.
Posted 39 months ago. ( permalink )

Gilfer says:

Cheeky and Cubby: They use tools that look more or less like a toothpick, and a few other tricks I'm sure. I didn't actually see them make it, but I've seen a few photos and things since.

Check out this video to see someone in action.
