Galactic Latte Art

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Michael Breach Transforms Foam into Portraits of Popular Sci-Fi Characters

— September 2, 2014 — Lifestyle
Talented barista Michael Breach turns frothy latte foam into portraits of popular sci-fi characters for coffee consumers to enjoy. These unbelievably detailed portraits look identical to the various characters and props making it hard to believe they were created simply from using whipped milk.

Latte art has really taken off allowing baristas like Breach to give consumers a little something special along with their morning cup of java. Breach has a knack for recreating popular sci-fi figures like Jabba the Hut from the Star Wars saga and the TARDIS time travelling phone box from Doctor Who entirely from foam on the request of the customer. The likeness of Breach's latte art is impeccable -- and it doesn't stop there. Breach can also recreate his customer's portrait from foam if they so please.
