History
According to some sources, latte art (the art of drawing in the coffee crema using frothed milk) first appeared in Italy, while others say the United States. What we know for sure is that the popularity of latte art can be attributed to David Schomer, owner of the Schomer Espresso Vivace café in Seattle. He is recognized as the creator of the rosetta, one of the most popular latte art designs. Nowadays, latte art championships are becoming more popular throughout the world, techniques are constantly being refined, and the equipment used is progressing.
Fittingly, this frothing pitcher was designed to help baristas draw the crema more easily. The milk spins in a vortex when it is heated with the steam wand, which is an essential motion needed to obtain the right texture. Its spout is designed to make precise latte art.
