Tomas sent me this link to some really outstanding coffee art. I have to admit, some of them are really good. I’d imagine by the time they are done with some of those, the drink is cold. Also, there is a huge difference between coffee art and latte art. The biggest is that with latte art you build the design using simply the pour of the milk. With coffee art typically an instrument is used to draw on the foam or sprinkle nutmeg or cinnamon. Just thought I would clarify that.

Michael T Sorry, but Austin is the undisputed coffee/latte art master with his take on the Mona Lisa. Personally, I think Austin was actually drawing himself. 0 Reply May 15, 2008
Ben Atkin I thought I would further clarify it by pointing out that while not all coffee art is latte art, all latte art is coffee art. Here’s a venn diagram I made to illustrate this: http://crappygraphs.com/user_graphs/?id=1954 0 Reply May 15, 2008
Psyd Ehm, the description says that Coffee Art is a subset of Latte Art, but the diagram shows the two intersecting. For the diagram to agree with the comment, the Coffee Art circle should be inside the Latte Art circle. : (math and coffee, I dig it!) Anyhoo, Latte art is and Art that is made in the coffee’s milk. Most refer to anything that is free-poured as , well, ‘free-poured latte art’. Anything that is done with a tool is referred to as ‘etched latte art’. Anything that has been created using a powder through a template as ‘cheezey’. 0 Reply May 16, 2008
Psyd Oh, yeah, go [url=http://tinyurl.com/62kutp] here [x] to see etching done in real time. It really doesn’t take that long for someone who is good, and the coffee will still be warm. ; > 0 Reply May 16, 2008
Ben Atkin Psyd, You’re right. Had I drawn the shapes myself, I might have got it right, but I could only use the shape in the template if I was to do it at crappygraphs.com. Oh well. It’s the thought that counts, isn’t it? Thanks for telling me more about coffee art. I’ll also check out the video when I get a chance. 0 Reply May 17, 2008
