Art Forms- The Coffee Edit

Art appears everywhere, from the coffee shop in the nearby shopping centre to on the walls of the top museums in the world.

One form of art that we don't appreciate to its full extent is Coffee art.

You may be thinking how easy it must be to do that but some don't care to use stencils instead, turning to doing it freehand, absolutely magnificent.

Coffee art or also known as Latte art is a hot topic so much so that there have been several competitions around the globe showcasing this interesting, unique and creative form of art.

As everything sooner or later expands and branches off into bigger, better clones of itself, coffee art has done just this, starting off as being a simple design shown in the first picture quickly advancing to become merged together with a 3D sculpture placed on top of the coffee. Just like the last photo.

As more and more designs are being thought of and then used in the production line, colours are becoming more of a prominent feature, bright blue's, purple's, green's and pink's are becoming popular and eye catching to customers.

Latte art is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso resulting in a pattern or design on the surface of the latte, it of course can also be hand drawn on to the top layer of foam. Although it isn't confirmed when or who invented this it is thought to be widely popular in the United States as it started in Seattle between the years of the 1980's and 1990's.
