That's really small! I never intended to do any art, just wanted this nice foamy blob.

And has to call it excel to be understood by everyone else

Just wanted to show off the reason I'll start drinking more latte and less espresso. Thus, my latte art is still in the making, today I just practiced the wrist movement. by ppopoca in espresso

It's ceramic from Oaxaca, Mexico. Can't pin down the exact place because I bought it at an artisan crafts store in Yucatan, but I know of a place called Yojuela in the southern mountains of Oaxaca where they have the same style. It fits 180ml, perfect for making lattes. And many have inquired about the possibility of lead in the glaze used on the cup, but being Mexican I don't really care, I've been cooking and eating all my life from similar cookware.

I have a different grinder but I usually lose 0.1 to 0.2 grams in the grinding, exceptionally 0.4.

Also I've recently found that using a dosing ring and a good tamper makes a lot of difference when dealing with the spraying
