Chef, this is ridiculously cheap! If I were you, I'd visit that cafe often. For $2.50, you can fill your stomach and enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

Even without latte art, it didn't matter. The most important thing was that the coffee tasted really, really good.

People place a lot of importance on this, but if the coffee doesn't taste good, its appearance doesn't matter at all. If the coffee tastes good, the appearance is a bonus.
