We’ll see your mouth and raise you an ear

By now I am sure everyone has seen the very awesome pours by the Intelli LA crew up on Tony’s blog.

Hanging out with Arthur today the opportunity came up to mess about with Arthur’s ears.  These are the results:

rosetta in arthur's ear

There isn’t much space to pour and this is the best I managed.  My rosettas didn’t really work out that well:

Stephen almost nailed a great heart a couple of times but the fear of pouring milk all over Arthur’s face meant the pull through suffered:

I think the look on people’s faces seeing us doing this in the middle of a trade show, while people were setting up made it all worth while….

Except maybe for Arthur:

(Whilst this is for the Absurd Latte Art comp we obviously aren’t eligible to win).

    Awesome stuff – what size jug was that? Couldn’t have held more than 200ml surely.

    Those mouth shots are just wrong! Somehow I don’t think I’d get away with putting them in the catalogue… See you in Gothenburg? Dave

    Wicked pour.

    I put up my “absurd” latte art pour, but really, I think it’s just ironic.
