Latte art

Foam fantastic

Latte art involves creating designs in the steamed milk foam layer of the popular coffee drink. Wikipedia notes that there are two main techniques used when creating latte art: free pouring (creating the pattern while pouring the steamed milk), and etching (using a tool to create a design after the milk is poured). Photographer Cindy Goodman recently visited some local barista artists for a glimpse at some of their heart and rosette designs.
