Those who work in hospitality know it well – presentation is everything. And when it comes to coffee, the crowning touch is to finish it off with latte art.
From swirls to hearts, to rosettes - latte art takes many forms.
How is it done?? There are two main methods – free pour latte art, and etching. Free pour works solely on the control of the milk flow from the jug. Whereas in etching, a design is drawn in with an implement. It works on the froth, the etching and the use of powders.
