Whenever you visit a coffee shop, if they have amazing art on its latte, feel free to mention to the barista. Making a latte art isn't easy because not only you need to have creative skills but also the technical skills just so you can enjoy the perfect cup of coffee presented in front of you.

Roughly, the process of making latte goes like this, before even attempting to make the latte art, you have to ensure the canvas is in a perfect condition for that. The canvas I am referring is the combination of coffee and the milk. Then, the milk has to be just in the right temperature or otherwise, it will look bubbly and will create terrible looking art or the coffee that you see above. There is also a certain angle in order to create some latte arts. From the baristas that I came across, they learned how to make it multiple times before they even get it right.

I am now at the phase of trying to make latte art and going deep into that world. Latte art was never into me until now I have the space to do so. As much as I love filter brews, sometimes I also want to recreate all the drinks I had at the coffee shop. These days, I don't go out as much and don't want to be disappointed. So, I would rather make it at home and be disappointed with myself rather than paying to be disappointed.

The mug also contributes in the shaping of the latte because different curvature will also require different angle in shaping them. Latte art is another rabbit hole to dive into because typically, a barista in a coffee shop is either really good at making latte art or terrible at simple brews or the other way round. It's typically quite a rarity to know it all but a decent barista would know both worlds even one is typically deeper than the other.
