I'm Proud of My Coffee Swirls

Hey there, folks! I’m a barista and yeah, sometimes when I make those fancy drinks with the latte art, I get a little too confident. So much that one day, while trying to impress a customer, I went all out and swirled not just a heart or leaf, but a full-on flower pattern into their coffee. It was so intricate it looked like something you’d see in an Instagram ad for overpriced artisanal coffee shops. The poor guy took one look at his drink, eyes widening, and said something about needing time to appreciate the artistry before drinking it. He ended up taking a photo with my apron signed under the cup instead of trying to sip it. I was like, 'Whoa, did I go too far?' But honestly? It felt pretty darn cool at the moment. If you can pull off latte art that’s worthy of framing, why not give it your all?
