Latte Art tool set: Road Test
Want to make your mark as an amateur latte artist? Here’s your kit.
What’s this, a home dentistry set?
No, it’s a kit for making “latte art” — pretty patterns in the froth on your coffee.
Why? Because everyone fancies themselves as a barista these days. And if there’s one thing that beats a nice latte, it’s a nice latte with a Rococo flourish of doves and tulips on top, snapped and uploaded to Instagram while you drink.
So this is a thing? You bet: amateur latte art porn is huge. And the World Latte Art Championship takes place in China next month. The reigning champ is from Melbourne.
What does this kit do? It’s for etching — which is not as hard as free-pouring, and not as cheaty as using a stencil. Just drizzle a little syrup and etch a pleasing pattern like this, see?
Oooh, you’ve made a spider’s web! IT’S A ROSE.
