San Francisco barista takes latte art to a whole new level

<p>A San Francisco barista has developed quite a following, creating intricate pieces of coffee art that have people around the world amazed at her talent.</p> <p>And, as you see from the pictures in the gallery above, justifiably so.</p> <p>Melanie Aquino works at San Francisco’s Elite Audio Coffee Bar, and started creating these pieces of foam art after a friends encouraged her to express her creativity.</p> <p>From there, things simply snowballed, and Aquino’s incredible latte illustrations have received a considerable amount of attention, at home and abroad.</p> <p><img width="499" height="500" src="https://oversixtydev.blob.core.windows.net/media/21951/coffee-art-in-text_499x500.jpg" alt="Coffee Art In Text" style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"/></p> <p>Aquino explained her methods in <a href="https://www.instagram.com/melaquino/?hl=en" target="_blank"><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>her blog</strong></span></a>, “With all drawings I begin by pouring milk into a shot of espresso. I use a spoon to manipulate the foam into the shape of what I want to draw. Then, with chocolate, I draw in the outlines and little details.”</p> <p> “I’ve been drawing on drinks for the past 4 years and have since perfected my craft. You need a marriage of the perfect espresso and microfoam in order to get the right contrast and bring out the little details.”</p> <p>Scroll through the gallery above, to see Aquino’s work.</p> <p>Isn’t her latte art amazing, what’s your favourite piece? And where do you stand on latte art? Do you enjoy it, or just prefer to get to your coffee?</p> <p>Share your thoughts in the comments.</p> <p><em>Image credit: Instagram / melaquino</em></p> <p><strong>Related links:</strong></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/news/news/2016/05/what-happens-to-your-brain-when-you-quit-coffee/" target="_blank"><strong>This is what happens to your brain when you quit coffee</strong></a></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/news/news/2016/05/best-time-of-the-day-to-drink-coffee/"><strong>The best time of the day to drink coffee</strong></a></em></span></p> <p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><em><a href="/entertainment/books/2016/05/best-coffee-table-books-of-all-time/"><strong>6 coffee table books you’ll never want to put away</strong></a></em></span></p>
