The essence of a good cappuccino or latte, aside from the coffee beans itself, is in the creamy foam, which is the only way anything as detailed as this Gangnam Style latte art can be created.
If you haven't seen the video yet, I strongly urge you to do so. Psy, the Korean pop singer featured in the video, has quickly become viral with his awkward dance moves and punchy music that's so resilient, it sticks in your head long after you stop the video.
This Gangnam Style latte art is a great homage to the singer and the many fans who have parodied the Korean talent. If only there was a way to illustrate a dancing Psy in the foam so we can try to make him dance by jiggling the cup. Wouldn't that be awesome?
