That's a sweet looking coffee. Did you do the decoration? I recently got an espresso machine at home and would love to learn how to make those patterns.

nope, that was at a shop. which machine did you get? I got a gaggia classic pro 
Latte art is hard. You really have to practice it often until you get the flow. I tend to stop and when I try to get back into it at a later time, I have to restart the process of figuring it out. And this machine is hard to steam, it's very inconsistence and you have to play around with it.

We have a coffee machine at work & I can barely make a flat white.
Y'all are waaaay out of my league..

Coffee art always puts a smile on my face. One of those nice little flourishes.

I have a very serious verbal agreement with my wife that if we ever separate, I keep the espresso machine.
For a few months I worked on tulips, ferns, hearts, etc, but now I just pour, wiggle, and hope something decent happens

I'm convinced latte art is something you need to be doing multiples times per day for months to be any good at it. I have maybe a 30% keeper rate with anything besides a basic heart. The other part is steaming the milk just right. Too much or not enough air and the artwork is a lost cause.
The entire process of making espresso alone is such a rabbit hole. I try not to obsess too much over the details and just enjoy the coffee...but it's easy to get sucked in.

Yes it is, I agree. I've not practice continuously and when I do get somewhere, I'd get lazy and take a break. When I come back to practicing.. I have to start over. And yes, even when the art fails, sitting down and sipping the cup is rewarding. until I gotta go clean up.. lol
This was from the other day
this was yesterday
The other coffee is called Es Yen - A Thailand styled coffee which is a soft power brew beverage and made with a combination of espresso and condensed milk, resulting in a creamy indulgence that plays well with ingredients like fresh milk and locally sourced coconut sugar.
Looks like a Walker or three ...
