Coffee is one of the most popular beverages in the world. Although many people think that preparing coffee is a simple process and take the profession of barista for granted, this is not the case. Preparing coffee is a kind of art. A barista is a person who knows all the processes that coffee goes through on its way from bean to cup and understands how certain factors affect coffee and its preparation. A barista is a person who is precise, fast and efficient, as well as creative and dedicated to details. Considering that most people, at least in Croatia, prefer to drink coffee with milk, there are hundreds of variations on that theme – coffee with hot or cold milk, coffee with more or less milk, coffee with more or less foam, etc. However, it is always a combination of three elements: espresso, milk and foam. But from recently there is a fourth element in coffee preparation – latte art. It is a technique of pouring textured milk into a cup of coffee, resulting in a certain design on the coffee. Latte art is the last step in coffee preparation before the cup is served to the guest.
