Latte Art (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „Tap your pitcher once again giving it a swirl, to mix the steamed milk, and the foam together.

Cut back across the top of your drink, creating the stem.“

:: Crema Conscious ::

  „But it isn't. What Ewan means is that when espresso is made, under pressure, the essential oils in the coffee get agitated with the water and make a foam.
