Mmmm, Delish!
I'm still not a coffee fan but I've been learning some basics from dad.
The lattes above are really good cups of coffee, and not just because of the splendid latte art.
Firstly, the crema has to be good, followed by the latte froth, in order to sustain a visually enticing piece of latte art.
Having an espresso? Look out for crema. A good cup will have a thick layer of crema, which signifies the quality of the coffee bean and the coffee extractor.
The crema is thus linked to the essential oils in the coffee bean.
*I better stop before I get my facts mixed up ;) *
