Latte artist Kazuki Yamamoto has already shown us his amazing work creating beautiful images in your morning cup of coffee. Now, he’s taken it one step further by turning those images into 3D works of art. He’s made giraffes with necks that rise up out of the cup and even little cats that are trying to leap into neighboring mugs of latte fish. These are too pretty to drink!

In order to enhance his coffee artwork, Nowtoo Sugi uses colored bartender syrups, including Blue Hawaii for shades of blue and strawberry for red or pink, which are mixed with steamed milk for variation.
Sugi’s work focuses on video game, anime, and movie characters from Japan and the West. Hit the jump for more examples and videos of the creative process.
Valve recently released a tumbler for the Bonk! Atomic Punch from Team Fortress 2. It’s a secondary weapon in the game, and it’s highly dangerous. A Reddit user purchased a tumbler before they sold out and took a picture of the hilarious fine print on the warning label. Bonk! exceeds the daily recommended allowance for sugar by 11,000%. That’s nothing.
Be sure to click the photo of the label to enlarge and see all the funny warnings.

Pop Chart Lab and Orbit Visual Graphic Design created this “Exceptional Expressions of Espresso” print which breaks down “the ingredient ratios of 23 exquisite espresso-based drinks.”
…this chart is a world tour of the purest form of coffee, from the straight-up varieties like the Doppio and Lungo to frothy drinks like the Cappuccino and Latte to less celebrated (yet no less delicious) concoctions such as the Galao and the Cafe Bombon.
