Latte itself comes from the Italian, which means milk. While American-style coffee latte is a combination of espresso and milk. It's just a mixture of milk is more dominant.

"It's beautiful," so I said to myself. Latte art or coffee latte art to decorate, that's the name of beauty contained in a glass of coffee latte earlier.

Foam topping on latte art comes from the heated milk. Decoration of the latte art form itself can vary, for example in the form of leaves, petals, human faces, trees, hearts, and so forth. Generally, latte art is done manually, directly from the hands of the coffee maker. Even so, today, in line with the development of technology, latte art can also be made with the help of tools such as a printer. Art to decorate the coffee with this printer is equally beautiful, and also be able to enjoy because the ink used is an consumable ink,… err.. Interesting is not it?
