Every cup should be made with passion, focus, knowledge and love of course. But also practice is the key because practice makes perfect.

Unsweetened soy matcha with a piece of butter was pretty impressive.

A flat white mainly and macchiato in tough barista's moments.
Q What does it take to make those shapes on top of a coffee?
Deliberate practice. Each coffee is a bit of alchemy; if one part is not correct, then it will not assemble correctly.

Definitely don't expect the same quality as coffee from a barista coffee machine but great coffee beans and a proper grinder can make miracles even with a simple moka pot!

Chemex.
