We appear to have reached peak rainbow. Already, this week alone, we’ve seen Rainbow Grilled Cheese and Rainbow Pizza. Now, coffee has decided to get in on the colorful-action with Rainbow Latte Art.
The colorful coffee-works are brought to us by Las Vegas-based barista, Mason Salisbury, and posted to his Instagram account ibrewcoffee. By adding food coloring to the steamed milk before pouring, Mason is able to present coffee in full-color.

Drinking coffee is now for suckers. There’s a much more convenient and gelatinous option available to stay caffeinated.
GO CUBES, by Nootrobox, are here to help reinvent your caffeine-ingesting experience. Two chewable coffee gummies pack the same amount of caffeine as your average cup of coffee. They’re available in three flavors: Mocha, Pure Drip, and Latte.
No more waiting for beans to steep, water to drip, or having a barista spell your name wrong. Check them out here.

We’ve certainly seen our share of coffee cup art. The often stark white drinking vessels have become a blank canvas for brilliant typography, comic strips, and have even gone 3-D.
Tokyo-based artist Adrian Hogan is now taking the medium panoramic, with an Instagram video series. Hogan illustrates a scene on a cup, then takes us through his surroundings with a slow twist. Check out more below and over at Instagram.
There is little that coffee cannot do. It makes mornings tolerable, gives people an excuse to pretend to be busy at Starbucks, and it occasionally acts as a perfectly acceptable art medium.
Artist Maria A. Aristidou knows how to use coffee to its full potential, creating beautiful works of art with nothing more than brewed coffee and a brush set.
The result is spot-on pop culture characters, with their shadows and highlights determined by the amount of coffee used. Check out more of Aristidou’s work over at Instagram.

Besides providing a place for their ubiquitous mermaid logo, an ingredient checklist, and your name spelled wrong, Starbuck’s coffee cups are a great blank canvas to create art.
However, we’ve never seen cartography involved in Starbucks cup art — which makes this detailed map of Middle Earth from The Lord of The Rings that much more impressive. Even better, it was left behind by the unknown artist for a Starbucks barista to find.
As far as we know, all the map points are spelled correctly. Can any Hobbits out there confirm this?
