the first
little smile.
the coffee was finished. the experiment had just started.
it started with “what if?”
what if the grounds left after a good cup could become a small canvas?
the first experiment was the Gadgeteer logo, surrounded by a little circle of gadgets. then came after latte: two lowercase words following the shape of a smile. both were printed on spent espresso pucks.
seeing that little white mark on the brown coffee surface made the idea feel real. something new from something old.
a moment worth keeping
latte art is lovely, and fleeting. you take a photo, take a sip, and the design disappears. after latte is exploring a keepsake inspired by that moment: a design printed onto the coffee grounds left behind.
these first prints are the beginning. preparation, finishes and long-term durability still need exploring. for now, they’re display prototypes and a reason to keep experimenting.
the first little film
