Coffee

When you think of Coffee you think of that warm caffinated drink that people drink to keep themselves awake. But have you ever thought of it being more then that? Coffee can be turned into an art. The ways it can be made and the different tastes is an art but the art I want to talk about is its presentation.

Some artistic coffee shops have started to decorate the top of the coffee like these:


Some places take moviescharacter's and transfer them onto their coffee:


This is the Character Kiki from Kiki's Delivery Service. A little witch going out on her own.




This kind of art takes time and skill. They pour steamed milk into a shot of espressoto create the pattern. They can also simply just draw in the foam at the top. The Barista, person who serves the espresso, is the one who creates the pattern and it deepends on his experience, skill and the quality of his espresso machine to make the espresso.

you have to have good experience with this art, professionally called Latte art, inorder to do it right. If you get it too much milk the top turns white and if there is not enough it will be a brownish color and with either these you can not create a pattern.
There is also another kind of art using coffe and it is coffee art wallpaper. This art is where you take the coffee and put it on paper to make a picture using the coffee's stain. With either art it looks awesome and takes people who are very talented.
