I used about 40% Brazil Cerrado (dry-processed), 30% Sumatra Mandheling, 20% Guatemala, and 10% Ethiopia Yirgacheffe to create this blend, then roasted it to full-city. I let it rest for 40 hours before pulling this shot...
The result is a pretty consistent flow with incredibly beautiful mahogany crema that stays for minutes, and does not fade away when disturbed. It's extremely smooth and without any bitterness, but could probably use some more rest.

Heart
I was never exactly sure how to pour hearts, but sometimes I accidentally make them. Foam is not ideal; it was produced by the suboptimal steam wand @ the Yellow MK. Shot with my Nexus One on 01/28/10.
My first latte art ever
My first latte art ever (circa August 2007), after frothing milk every day for two months. Made at the Kirkland office.

High-definition foam made at the Blue micro-kitchen. Milk composition: 80% low-fat lactose-free milk + 20% half & half to compensate for the lack of fat.
