I got the grinder in the background the day I took the picture. One of my favorite things to wrap up a day is a latte at home - commercial inability to make a great espresso and combine it with perfectly steamed milk has led to a multi-thousand dollar obsession of mine.

I know that this won't do too well, the angle is a bit awkward, and the sink in the background is a bit distracting. But, I think it has a good rhythm and has a beautiful subject.

I like this picture in its simplicity but also that really does look like one of the best coffee drinks ive ever seen made. My only complaint is that I dont get to see more of the drink!

I really like the composition. Needs better lighting and subject needs to be in focus more.

strange framing: the "danger" is catching my eyes...

This should be titled "The Perfect Grinder". The Mazzer Mini is a true piece of art. Nice rosetta, excellent photo.

I had to admit I'm drooling looking at the cream on this cappuccino, so it surely meets the challenge. But I do not really enjoy the composition angle.
