The latest member of  the Waves Coffee family finished preparing my dark mocha, and presented it to me with the caveat that she wasn't Kiran, the barista who bears up so well under the weight of her latte art brilliance. The newbie barista explained she tried to draw a face, but, it would be more accurate next time. ... Accurate?



Oh... my... Accurate as in portrait? She got the hair, and the palsy sneer of the mouth, but couldn't do the teeth (just as well), or the glasses -- coffee isn't a high resolution medium after all, Guess she left out the jughead ears out of kindness. Click the image to enlarge.

Japanese-Canadian Barista's "generic" mocha, with no "conscious" attempt at "latte art," depicts the Adam embryo from the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion! What else could it be? The design obviously comes from the deep, shared zeitgeist of the  Japanese culture. Evangelion is the national anthem, constitution, and Goethe, of Japan, all rolled into one. Sure it is.

What was brewin' at Waves Coffee? Another bruin-topped Mocha, of course. I think Kiran, the un-bear-ably clever barista, has all but perfected her latte art technique on this one. How quickly the extraordinary can become ordinary. I'm already pining for a panda. Don't forget, it's always delicious, no matter what it looks like. Click the top image to see it larger.
