创意拿铁：小黄人拉花咖啡萌翻旧金山
Some artists work in charcoal 1, others watercolor and some use ... foam 2?
有的艺术家用炭笔、有的用水彩，还有些用……泡沫?
Melannie Aquino works at the Elite 3 Audio Coffee Bar in downtown San Francisco. Like many baristas, she began experimenting with latte art to mix up the grind of pulling shots all day long.
美兰纳·阿坤诺在圣弗朗西斯科商业区的精英音频咖吧工作。和大部分咖啡师一样，她开始研究拿铁艺术，整天研究拿铁拉花艺术、混合研磨咖啡粉、沏上一杯杯咖啡。
"It was pretty primitive 4, but the customer loved it so much that their reaction stuck with me. After that I was hooked," Aquino wrote in a post on Medium this week.“
“很简单、很老式，但顾客们非常喜欢，我忘不了他们的反馈。自此以后我就迷上了，”本周阿坤诺在Medium平台发的帖中这么写道。
Espresso-outlined bears turned into animals before Aquino set her sights on thebespectacled creatures known as Minions 5 that are sweeping 6 the nation. The yellow "box office superstars" have been featured in three films -- most recently the eponymouslynamed "Minions" -- and have been taking social media by storm.
阿坤诺之前用浓咖啡作出小熊的轮廓，后来才把目光转向那戴副眼镜、风靡全国的小黄人。票房明星小黄人在三部电影中担当主演，最近同名电影《小黄人》风靡各大社交媒体。
"They’re such expressive 7 characters and it’s fun to bring them to life with each drink," Aquino wrote. "People kept coming back for them!"
“小黄人是表现力超强的角色，让每杯饮品唤起他们的活力，着实有意思”，阿坤诺写道，“回头客都冲着小黄人来”。
