Whether it's an aunt or an uncle, seems like everyone has a coffee addict on their holiday shopping list. My coffee addict doesn't actually need any other gadgets — although the Bravi Home Coffee Bean Roaster would probably be well received — so I'm opting for a monthly coffee subscription from Blue Bottle Coffee Co.

The first method is by manipulating the flow of milk from a jug into the espresso (known as free pour latte art). Popular free pour designs include rosettas, leaves and hearts.
