"Do you want a monkey on your latte, Sir?"

If I were asked that question, my answer would be a resounding "Yes". " And also bring the dog will you?, when I'm done with the monkey"

To the perplexed; what you just read was a perfectly normal conversation between a customer and a coffee shop waiter. Yes, let me introduce you to the world of latte art. Latte art is undoubtedly one of the lesser known forms of art, but have no doubts about its beauty. Latte art is a style of pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso that creates a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte. Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and milk. The inconsistency of the brew and the espresso machine poses another challenge for the latte artist. Here is a look into daily life of a latter artist. Prepare to be amazed!
