Ego-ccino
cappuccino with your portait drawn in the foam | |
I'm addicted to cappuccinos. Sometimes
the person making them is compelled to
make a little drawing on the surface of
the
foam, usually in the form of a leaf or a
galaxy like swirl. This always adds to the
treat, but why not take the process
further? Hence the idea of the Ego-ccino.
In
a café equipped with an Ego-ccino
machine, customers are presented with
the option of their cappuccino being
delivered with their own portrait gazing
up
at them, from its foamy surface.
Here's how it works:
On selecting the Ego-ccino option, the
customer's face is photographed and
automatically digitised. This image is
then
transferred to a matrix of stirring/
agitiating needles that are lowered unto
the blank canvas of the freshly prepared
cappuccino surface.
Immediately on contact they gently
agitate
and stir the surface of the foam, adding
tiny controlled drops of chocolate stain
to
create the subtle shading of the perfect
portrait.
Your cappuccino has now become an
ego-ccino and you may delight in the
pleasure of drinking and swallowing your
own image.
Also under development "Your Portrait on
a
Fried Egg".....

Ha - another idea I should have patented [xenzag, Feb 21 2015]

+ I like it, but I think my nose is too big to fit in the cup. |
|
| |
You must be thinking sillhouette, I'm thinking front aspect, posterized. |
|
| |
Ack! You are going to put CHOCOLATE on my cappaccino? What's next? Liquid bacon? Ew! Ew! EW! |
|
| |
Oh, but bun for the idea. |
|
| |
Eggo-chino: your face on a fried egg on a cappuchino. |
|
| |
I note with some egret that you have, possibly as a lark, snuck a bird name into this idea... |
|
| |
I thought the go-cci was actually a flying mammal? |
|
| |
You could get standard stencils that you put over the fresh cappacino and sprinkle the chocolate powder over it. |
|
| |
Also - if you weren't feeling particular egotistical that day, you could perhaps order an 'off-the-peg' portrait of somebody famous. |
|
| |
Like the "Che Gue-ccino", (Che Guevara) for revolutionary-types. |
|
| |
Or the "Einstein-A-ccino" for science student-types. |

[wags] My anno was meant to be a joke, as I don't care so much to see myself, but do like the idea.... monojohnny put it right for me, but I was thinking more like a Brad Pittaccino. |
|
| |
I got it, but the fact remains: front profile even Pinnochio would fit in. |
|
| |
I realize this violates the "ego" part of the idea, but if I'm having a bad hair day can I have someone elses portrait? How about that cute girl in the corner, can I have hers? |
|
| |
just looked at the link.... so much foam, so
little time. |
|
| |
[ConsulFlaminicus], wren will you realize that bird puns are nothing to crow about? |
|
| |
Holy crap, that's some coffee art! |
|
| |
Yes, nice link from jutta!!
What if the 'girl in the corner' has a nice...um, back side? Could one have Buttuccino? |
