I have based it around my hero Luigi Lupi's style of the sideways swirl art (see video on http://gauperaa.blogspot.com/ ) Instead of waiting for the centre to develop I wiggle earlier then turn the pour to the centre to finish with a heart.  I have only tried this about 5 time now and all but one have been successful.  (one overfilled the cup and went everywhere).  This is not the best photo of one either but i will get the better ones off my friends digicam soon. I'm liking other art besides rosettas at the moment, anyone doing anything else as well (either trying something "new" or doing tulip/hearts) as beautiful as rosettas are, i think there are a lot of them.  Practice makes perfect but too much practice breeds destruction, well not destruction but really you can only improve so much at a time.

Stopping the pour altogether, rotating the cup, restarting pour.   REALLY getting a swirl going as I pour to fill the entire cup with a swirling rosetta, etc. I'll make some attempts that are photo worthy tomorrow. back to top okaychatt Senior Member Joined: 24 Mar 2005 Posts: 748 Location: Chattanooga, TN Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: S1 Vivaldi La Spaz Grinder: Maximo; Rocky Drip: FP; Melitta Clarity; Krups...

Posted Sat May 21, 2005, 8:00pm Subject: Re: More art....lets see yours!!   Should I be looking at a needle nosed frothing pitcher for latte art?  It seems it might give me better control.   Kay back to top shadowfax Senior Member Joined: 20 Jan 2005 Posts: 776 Location: Houston, TX Expertise: I love coffee Espresso: La Marzocco GS3 Vac Pot: Yama TCA-3 Posted Sat May 21, 2005, 9:30pm Subject: Re: More art....lets see yours!!   i've never seen a needle nosed one; I think you just need one with a sort of sharp spout. it doesn't need to be at a bent angle, just thin. As long as you aren't using one of those bell pitchers with a lip instead of a spout, you should be fine. back to top showing page 16 of 212 first page | last page previous page | next page view previous topic | view next topic | view all topics Discussions > Espresso > Latte Art > More art....lets...   updated topics   new posts   new unanswered     search   faq   sign up   Not Logged in: log in Discussions Quick Jump: Select Espresso Discussions --Espresso Machines --Lever Espresso Machines --Grinders - Espresso --Espresso Mods and Restorations --Espresso Blends --Questions and Answers --Latte Art and Etching --Barista Jams Around the World --General Discussion Coffee Discussions --Machines and Brewing Methods --Home Roasting Talk --Questions and Answers --General Discussion Columns, How-Tos, and Reviews --Holiday Gift List Feedback --CoffeeGeek Columnist Feedback --Detailed Review Feedback --Products First Look Feedback --Quickshot Review Feedback --Guide Article Feedback --How-To Article Feedback --CoffeeGeek Podcast Feedback Members Forum --Bug Reports and Suggestions --Buy, Sell and Trade --Retail Coffee Jobs Offered / Wanted Ads --Coffee Recipes --Cafe and Bean Reviews --CoffeeGeek Site Info and News --General Off Topics World Regional --United States West --United States Central --United States East --Western Canada --Eastern Canada --United Kingdom --Western Europe --Eastern Europe, Nordic Countries, and Russia --Central and South America --Australia, New Zealand and Asia Symbols: = New Posts since your last visit      = No New Posts since last visit     = Newest post Forum Rules: No profanity, illegal acts or personal attacks will be tolerated in these discussion boards.
