Latte Art

Free Pouring By Scottie Callaghan in 2006

Latte art sprout all over the world thanks to the inventing of expresso machinery and microfoam (insertion of air in milk leading to milk texturing or "velvet foam"). It might have originated in Italy, and developped in Seattle in the 1980s, credits going to David Schomer at his shop Expresso Vivace

To create Latte Art, one needs to know how to deal with the conception of the coffee and of the foam, controling temperatures and speed ; some use free pouring to create the art, while others rather use a tool to carve into the foam.
