'Selfiii International' is a Malaysian company that uses edible ink to print selfies onto coffee. In recent years, latte art has become more intricate and complex. However, this company puts a personal spin on the idea of artistic coffee drinks.
Selfiii International owns a special type of digital printer that can transfer images onto the surface of any latte, cappuccino or milkshake. The printer uses six different kinds of edible ink to print each photo or selfie. Because the printer uses several different ink colors, the photos appear almost life-like. In total, the process only takes about 27 seconds to complete.
The company provides a unique coffee drinking experience by letting users add a touch of creativity to their morning cup of joe.
