Barista 101: Latte Art Contest!

 

Have you been making espresso at home and practicing your microfoam technique these past few months?

If so, take a photo of your best Latte Art creation and send it to Whole Latte Love for a chance to win some not so bad prizes (though not as good as the Gaggia Titanium they gave to somebody last month).

Just click on this link for some more Latte Art tips and the contest rules.

I wish...the best I can do is an amoeba. Which is to say, I can't do latte art...

Thanks for reading!

I know you have a barista hubby. Will he be entering the competition? Perhaps making a labradoodle-shaped foam figure? I remember fondly those delicate peaks of impeccable foam perched atop Mr. Magoo and my froth-topped java juice while visiting like it was just yesterday.

Mrs. Magoo and Mr. Magoo wish they were in Shanghai. We will pretend we are in Shanghai, perhaps. While we sleep and dream in Manhattan...I suspect the baristas, while not as adept as in Roma, are probably better here than in Shanghai, and that will be our consolation.
