Fun with Fire

After doing the fire-breathing dragon a few times, I wanted to see what else was possible to etch with a fire theme.  Here's what I came up with... Someone shooting a fireball out of his hands, like in old-school Street Fighter:

And roasting a hot dog over a campfire.  Not as cool, but you can sorta see it:

Free Pour Collage

Here are a bunch of latte art pours I did over the last few days.  Like I said in the previous post, I've been trying to work on rosettas a bit, with pleasing success.  Have a great Memorial Day weekend!

Slowing Down Rosetta Pours

In my eternal quest to pour the perfect latte art rosetta, I decided that I would once again try to slow down my pour speed and control my movements better.  The result?  More symmetry, definition, fatter rosetta leaves.  I like these two lattes poured for customers today in the coffee shop:

Rosettas To-Go

This morning I poured these two rosettas in paper coffee cups to-go.  Strange that they both bend the same way - I think it's due to the way that I hold, tilt, and level out the cup while I pour.  It doesn't happen as often with a ceramic mug that I hold by the handle.

Latte Art is Profitable!

I made these cortados for a couple of guys during lunch last week.  They were sitting outside, so I didn't talk to them during their meal, but after they were done they came up to the coffee bar.  They said they were so interested in the latte art that they wanted to order two more drinks just to get a mini-demonstration!
