‘Selfieccino’ is the New Art in Making Coffee
(Source: www.breakingnewsenglish.com/1712/171222-selfieccino.html)

A cafe in London has started a personalized way of making coffee. It is a new form of barista art called the “selfieccino”. A barista is someone who makes the coffee, lattes and frappuccinos in coffee shops. They used to draw chocolate hearts, flowers and swirls in the white froth of the coffee. However, they have now taken that to a new level. They can now put a picture of a customer’s face in the white frothy coffee topping. This means coffee lovers can sip on a cup of coffee with their own self-portrait in it. The cafe is called the Tea Terrace. It is located in one of London’s top shopping areas, Oxford Street. The cafe sold over 400 of the personalized drinks within days of starting the service earlier this week.
