I admit that the nearest I've ever seen was the start of a heart shape, maybe once, maybe twice in the last 8 months...
I'm more than happy with the coffee from a taste/texture perspective but what can I say, I'm clearly doing something wrong from an art perspective.
I don't try 'every' time but sufficiently to have I do attempt to make a shape most times.
My suspicion lays with the cup I use - Do I admit to using a coffee mug? yes.
I'd say my micro-foam cant be that bad, lets face it after 8 month's I must have got it right a reasonable amount of the time.
What do I think is going wrong... To me it's as though the top later (of coffee/milk mixture) isn't fluid enough to move out of the way of the new coffee being poured into the cup. Even if I see a nice layer of white milk forming underneath it never seems to break though.
Daughter and I have a Barista booking at JB (date to be arranged...) am hoping I can be given a few pointers
