My latte art ...

Re: My latte art ...

I searched for a cup with a shape i considered would help me with my art.
I finally found some and have taken two to work so that Im using the same ones as at home.

Care to share what shape they are and if they helped in the art department?

They are 260ml and you can see them in this thread:

They are thin walled though because they used to be Ansett cups and weight would be a factor in the air.

At the time I think they helped the art a little.
Im not so sure these days if the shape makes n=much difference once you know what youre doing.

The thing thay have, that I was looking for is that they are almost roond on the bottom.
They do have a small flat spot but its only just there.

I originally needed to buy 300 to secure the dozen I wanted for myself but only have a few dozen left.

Re: My latte art ...

Not sure how many ml the one I have at work is, but its almost exactly the same shape as your Ansett cups!!! Except mine has "Breville" on it. I think the cup I have came with a Breville coffee machine. I bought my cup from Vinnies and didnt want to spend too much on something I was going to keep in the office and things have a habit of disappearing in my office. The list of abductees last seen in my office include a few forks and spoons, a couple of mugs, and a Bormioli Rocco latte glass. Anyway, that second pic I put up of my attempted rosetta at work wa made in that cup....

The ACF bowl shaped cap cups are pretty good for latte art.

At 190mls you dont need much milk compared to some 230+ml cups.

Very wide as well. Massive massive canvas for 190mls

Re: My latte art ...

Heres one I thought worthy of capturing.
Yesterday afternoons flat white.
The milk looked good before I started the pour.
I would have been disappointed if it turned out any worse.

This was done on the Sunbeam 6910 at work.

Re: My latte art ...

Yah, way to go TG.

If you look again, theres an apple thats has been formed from the darker crema surrounding the art. Cool.

Re: My latte art ...
