This is a Latte Sized drink, 12oz, with two doubles in it, of Ecco Cafe's Organic Espresso Blend. A usual request from a friend of mine. Sorry about the lighting, not the best.

Nice one!
I rarely have enough room left in the cup to put the heart on top of the Rosetta. By that time, Ive got just enough room to pull though the Rosetta, OR, overflow my cup. I think Ive done it maybe 5 times without overflowing the cup. I guess I spend too much time before I make the "White Dot"
Ive been trying to make Tulips the past couple days, with at least 3 "Arcs", and then the Heart. Tulips are proving to be the hardest design Ive attempted yet. Harder even then putting two designs in a cup, like a Rosetta and a Heart. It's driving me a little crazy.

I usually suggest that it's easier to learn to pour nice designs in a larger cup, however, you need to froth up enough milk, which some machines can't do.
Id suggest trying out a 10 or a 12oz cup. Much bigger then that, and you cant taste the coffee at all. IMO, and many others, 12oz is still too big for a drink, but if you pull a triple, the coffee comes through a bit. But a 12oz cup should be nice size to give you the little extra "time in the cup" to pour some art. Then you can move down to 5oz cups, and then machiattos.
