My tryst with coffee art and twisted hearts continues

Morning coffee.

Coffee is best when it's in your mouth or in your tummy. But there is a brief time when it needs to be in a cup and it doesn't really matter how good it looks in the cup - unless you've paid a fortune for it at a coffee shop and they need to make it look good to justify the cost. My coffee skills are largely decided at random and with love in the heart. So this attempt at hearts was definitely a good one - or so I try to convince myself! Twisted hearts in love is what I think I've made. What do you reckon?

@JudyEv yes, it's just one of the fun things to lock start the mornings.

Nope. The coffee tastes the same and the hearts look the same. Some days, the art is worse.... Thanks for the subtle encouragement

@pitstop I'm not sure it was very subtle but fancy designs on the top of a cup of coffee should be the least of your worries - as I'm sure they are.

@kaylachan it smelled like coffee too. So that clinches it.

Hey you tried, so that counts for something! Are you thinking about a new career? If so, keep practicing!

If this is my new career, I'll be financially poor in record time.

@pitstop I am guessing that this is a new challenge you have taken on. It would be fun to work on!

If it looks good and tastes good you got a good deal.

The 'looks good' part is very doubtful.

In my opinion, coffee is only good if it's dumped down a drain. I don't see a problem with you drawing art on it before dumping it down the drain, though.

@pitstop But I said I didn't see a problem with you making art on it before you dump it down the drain... How much more "giving" do you want me to be?

That sounds like a charming and heartfelt way to start the day — literally! Coffee made with love always tastes better, no matter what the foam art looks like. “Twisted hearts in love” actually sounds poetic, like the kind of design that tells a little story in the cup. I bet it brought a smile, and that’s what really counts. I’d say your coffee art has character! Do you try different designs often, or was this one of those lovely accidental masterpieces?

All my coffee masterpieces are accidental and don't qualify as works of art.
