I've always found latte art with its hearts, ferns and even lions drawn in steamed milk quite impressive. The photo above takes coffee art into the realm of otherworldly high-speed photography. This surreal shot is from a set called "Milk Meets Coffee" by photographer Irene Müller. I realize that this is a completely different craft than that of the barista, but the medium is more or less the same. Actually, a bit less. Müller used a pipette to carefully add miniscule amounts of milk to the coffee. This particular shot is aptly named Coffee With a "Drop" of Milk.

This is an old story for a photographic series that was developed in 2005 (e.g., the comments on the photographer's page date back to Jan 2006). It has experienced several waves and ebbs of proliferation on the Web over that time, and it seems to have come up again after a couple of months of relative quiescence.
There's real research in why the same old stories keep coming up in these periodic waves over and over again. For example, kopi luwak coffee just refuses to go away -- new people are Digg-ing that all the time, etc.
