I just love it when geeks have too much time on their hands. Really, I do. This sort of thing could spawn a whole new coffee subculture of latte art. How long before we see this in Starbucks? Check out how to build your own at Oleksiy Pikalo Invents.

Being one of the throngs that retrieves a daily latte, I can assure you that we have *no* patience in waiting the time we already have to while the poor “barista” makes our coffee and handles whatever abuse we share with them on a daily basis. There is no way we will let that cup sit for upwards of 2 minutes to get the damn logo etched on. I was trying to grab the handle after 10 seconds of watching this video! 🙂
Yeah, never underestimate the impatience of a latte addict!
Ya have to admit though, in a customer briefing center or someplace like that, a latte printer putting the customer’s logo on the coffee would be an interesting novelty.
