There’s this State of the art new, but cosy, coffee store in the city centre of my hometown.
When I was there with a friend today we ordered our coffees.
The Grande piston machine hisses, buzzes and the sound of steam are familiar.
My friends Latte was receiving a wonderful art Form on top, mixed with both milk and coffee.
“here you go, a carrier pigeon”
I had never heard of carrier pigeon art and I was surprised, in a good way.
Though within seconds the girl behind the desk told us that whenever she messes up a swan, she sais it’s a carrier pigeon. A story people often like, she sais.
A carrier pigeon and a swan serve the same purpose when they are latte art.
The thing is, the story makes all the difference in how you perceive the rare pigeon in your Latte.
