Quick Take:

Let Lookout’s Max Chun show you how espresso and steamed milk becomes a drinkable work of art.

Coffee makes the world go around, and there’s no better way to start the day than getting a cup of love for yourself or that special someone.

And Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to up your java game with some latte art.

Lookout’s Max Chun is a man of many talents, and when he’s not out tracking COVID-19 in Santa Cruz County’s wastewater or checking in on the post-tsunami damage to the harbor, you might find him at Verve Coffee Roasters’ Seabright location, where he’s a supervisor and a latte artist extraordinaire.

Watch above as Max transforms his espresso canvas into a heart, a tulip and more.
