Artwork on your Cappuccinos and Lattes from Gimme! Coffee

For those who have made the trek to Ithaca, NY in search of excellent coffee, you may have just ended up at Gimme! Coffee. Yes, I know Ithaca, NY is not exactly the first place one would think of for great coffee, but Gimme! has set the bar for excellence up there by delivering coffee and espresso based drinks that are of the highest quality. They are driven by coffee quality and exacting preparation at their five locations in Ithaca plus one in NYC. They are the recipients of numerous awards including being named one of the 10 best coffee bars in the US by Food and Wine magazine this year, and they want to share how to make a great cup of coffee with you.

Gimme! has several tutorials related to coffee preparation and tasting at their website. The two that I want to point out are the preparation of a shot of espresso and the creation of perfect frothed milk. The frothed milk tutorial shows you how to create beautiful designs in your cappuccinos and lattes for a striking presentation.
