    But I did miss explaining that in the second pic the milk was steamed by a trainee which was too think.
    Through some tricks and removing some extra foam the milk was saved.

    I think some people would be surprised just how many assume the coffee is good cause it looks nice

    This one was made in a Colombian Cerro Azul Gresha. Should have been a great coffee. Roasted well and at a green price that most of us won’t look at should have been exceptional.

    However the coffee was old. I did my best but was difficult to extract a nice shot, so this one is a dbl ristretto and I didn’t finish it as it tasted flat.

    This is a pic of a flat white on the house blend. Pours consistently good coffee. Roasted well and dialed in nicely. Toffee choc and hints of berries.

    started a topic Latte art = good coffee. Common myth

    Latte art = good coffee. Common myth

    I have read and heard this quite a number of times, and from my point of view at least, it’s just not the case.

    Latte art does not mean the coffee will be good, or even drinkable for that matter.

    If i can figure out how to resize some photos I will post some pics and describe the coffee used in each cup. I don’t consider myself to be great at art but can hold my own in the smack downs I have competed in.
Working...
