I have just recently moved to EU (Czech Republic). I am completely new to the scene.
My previous two favorite coffees were Nicaragua Los Pinos and Ethiopia Worka Wuri, both by Ukrainian boutique roaster Mad Heads.
The roasts were both quite light, 'scandinavian style' light....
I am trying to learn latte art from last one month. I started with basic heart shape, whenever i pour milk it a shape doesn't come well. Attaching few pictures if anyone please guide me to understand what mistake i am doing and how to correct those mistake.

Maybe this is because I've never had a really good Kenyan before, but this coffee is incredible! Fantastically sweet, berries and spice cookies in the aeropress that I'm...
