Next time you get a big mug of coffee from your local coffee shop, don’t just give right into it and start gulping away. Not only will you spare yourself lots of mouth and tongue burns by taking your time, you might also get to see a little bit of creativity. If you’re a customer of Sam Corra at Café Yala on the Canberra Institute of Technology campus, you might be lucky enough to see one of Corra’s creations. He turns steamed milk, froth, and beans into art!
This is really impressive. I can barely pour myself a glass of milk without spilling it everywhere, let alone draw designs of angels, dragons, and swans with the dairy! How do you even learn that you can do this? At what point was he filling a cardboard cup with cappuccino and randomly decided that he ought to try making a picture in the java?
I never see anything in my coffee except frothy bubbles or, if I’m unlucky, bean grindings that have escaped the filter.
