Latte art: the gateway drug to art appreciation

Is it possible to order a latte and not take a picture of the barista's art? Every time I see those precious creations, this is what goes on in my head:

"That's so pretty!!! Should I take a picture before I drink it? It's gonna be gone in a minute. That's so sad. But I don't need to take a picture. Everyone does that, and everyone's going to look at me taking the picture and think I'm so basic. What would I even do with that photo? But then again... it's so pretty!" And then I take the picture. Duh. 

Latte art makes art accessible, relatable, consumable. Cheers to the baristas, perhaps our most valuable arts advocates.
