The wave heart... is most definitely one of those little known, little seen latte art pours. Personally, I don't think I've ever seen, or been served a drink with the wave heart in it. Nor does it get much love on all of those latte art focused Instagram accounts, which generally post everything from hearts to...
The rippled heart... is always a nice way to stay in touch with the basics, but adding a little style.

Latte art in to go cups... is a totally different beast than your average porcelain pour. Outside of the fact that I think coffee is best enjoyed in for here cups, having the option for to go is non-negotiable. Especially in Westernized societies that are always on the go. While working as a barista I sent...
