The espresso bar near the library does latte art on every drink, even the $4 small latte. A rosetta on top takes maybe 5 seconds to pour but changes how the drink feels in your hand. Learning consistent milk texturing takes months, and the pour itself is a 1-shot performance with no undo. Treating every cup like it counts, the barista justifies the price better than any menu description could.
