Israeli start-up puts your face on a latté
Revolutionary new Israeli 3D printing is set to revolutionise barista art. Forget hearts & leaves: Ripples’ newly unveiled system uses technology to print everything from detailed fonts to the face of Elvis on the surface of your cappuccino. Any good barista can put a design atop your cup of latté. But can he write “I Love You” or “Happy Anniversary” in the foam? What about creating an image of the customer’s significant other? Now they can this new “foam printer” which uses milk froth as its canvas and coffee extract as its medium. SEE THE VIDEO…

Flying on Lufthansa by year-end
Revealed last month at the CE Week tech show in New York and currently inviting interested parties to sign up to a waitlist for release details, Ripples is based around the Ripple Maker, a machine that will “print” a customised design on a foamy drink in 10 seconds using “tiny coffee bean drops” as its medium.
RIGHT: Now, if you can imagine it, you can drink it
Interested in becoming the first in SA to offer this canny service? Check out their WEBSITE.
The machine has a small footprint, sits on a counter top, and is preloaded with a library of designs in themes such as greetings, love and happiness and “coffee humour.”
Themes can be created or customised by baristas via the company’s website, and coffee shops can even make an app available to customers. The customer would then pre-order a design by sending baristas a photo, personal image or message as they order their drink.
