Not only do we get to buy various custom beverages ranging from lattes to espresso and Americanos, but we require different types of milk, creams and toppings. Today, we even get small art pieces made in our coffee by shaping the foam on our espresso into various shapes and designs. This is a small gesture but a really clever and appealing one; who doesn't smile when their espresso has a cheerful happy face at the top? Now espresso foam art is becoming more common place but it's still an art form that can take an a while to get down but it's really worth the effort.

Creating Espresso (Foam) Art 
You need to start by pouring cold milk into your espresso maker's steam pitcher, making sure the milk are at least 34 degrees. Next place the steam wand towards the bottom of the pitcher. Switch on the steam and withdraw the wand til you have smooth foam that rests on your pitcher. Factor is a difficult process so take it slow and smooth otherwise the froth won't be consistent. Now heat the milk in the pitcher to 100 degrees. At this point you should put the steam wand within the pitcher along its side and strive to heat the milk until it is around 150 degrees; now it is time to add it into your espresso.

Pour the steamed milk in to the espresso and you will probably see the foamy cream surface. Now you have got to mold it in your design. Officially you're designed to swing the milk to the shape you desire. To make a heart you just pour the milk in towards the top of the cup and then suggest a small revolution of an circle towards the top. Once you have both small semi-circles then tilt it down cascading the points together right into a small heart.[http://www.kiwibox.com/AhmedAllis6267/blog/entry/113232629/simple-products-of-espresso-cappuccino-french-pastries-a-/?pPage=0 French Pastries]

You can create a small flower by pouring the milk within 2.5 cm from the bottom in the cup then pour until the cup is half filled. You then shake the cup backwards and forwards while moving it forward the cup in order to create the flower design.

You can also cheat somewhat and try employing a utensil to draw in the milk into various shapes and fashions. This is a great strategy to fix the designs you pour should they don't turn out perfect to start with. Simply poke the milk then pull it in to the shape you desire.

As you make more espresso drinks in this way, and test out various designs, you're going to get better at making those you want. Keep trying and shortly you'll be able to make your very own espresso foam art and impress your pals.
