Coffee has been a staple drink to many Americans for years. One of the most popular coffee drinks to make its way into the American market recently is the latte. A latte is drink, most of the time coffee with the addition of hot milk. Sometimes lattes are made with chai, mate or matcha but always have steamed milk added. Sprinkles of ground chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg often dust the top of the latte for both decoration and flavor. Lattes have become so popular lately because of the rise in boutique coffee shops on just about every corner (like Starbucks).
With all these new latte drinkers in the US, some coffee shops decided to try and grab more of the market share and differentiate themselves by making their lattes more appealing to the eye with latte art in the 80s and 90s. Latte art is still created today and has become even more masterful since it’s inception. This nifty art is created by mixing the steamed milk with air to create a foam and then pouring the foam into the coffee in intricate patterns that are both artistic and beautiful.
Lattes come in anything from paper cups to mugs. Although not very eco-friendly, most people drink their designer lattes from disposable paper cups for their convenience. Washable latte mugs are a much better choice for drinking your latte or any coffee and at the same time saving the environment with one less paper cup at a time ending up in a landfill. You can get a washable latte mug in glass, ceramic, metal and just about as many other materials you can think of. Mugs range from classic to trendy to downright outrageous and fit to just about anyone’s style and taste.
