How to make latte art…

This is gacked from [1] Lifehacker (a hugely useful site!), who in turn gacked it from [2] WikiHow (also very useful!).
Ever wondered how we make those pretty patterns on top of your coffees? Well follow the links for some insights. These articles presuppose that you have access to a professional coffee machine, so (unless you do, of course) you might not be able to get these effects at home. If you're managing to make these drinks without the use of a machine, come in and see me - there's a job for you at North Star any day!

I do like this latte art!

will you be doing requests?

Da Vinci's Last supper would look great on a latte.

A little Goya too would be a treat too.. Ingres?
*
In fact if you wanted to make them festive looking... sprinkle on some white sugar!
*
Ho ho ho!

Thanks Sam - I was hoping that religious imagery might spontaneously appear in dusted chocolate on top of all our Mochas and that we could donate some the of the increased revenue to charity. But instead, I fear we'll just have to stick to the pretty patterns we know and love.

I used to do a mean shamrock on a pint of Guinness when I was a barmaid.

A mean shamrock? Would it point at you and say things like "Ha, call yourself a Guinness drinker?"

of course not. It wasn't a magic speaking shamrock, but it definitely had a slight sneer.
