With or without my fabulous Gaggia machine around (which is still in Amsterdam), I see it as a challenge to make a great caffe latte. I get excited when at bars they have the milk and coffee layered or (even better) when the have done some kind of foam art. I like places where they serve good cookies with your cup of koffie verkeerd ('wrong' coffee in Dutch, referring to the fact that there is more milk than coffee in the cup). A nice biscotti or thin sweet biscuit does it for me. I like it when it is clear that the person who made the coffee loves it as much as I do.
And yes, of course there are people insanely crazy about coffee. They even make Latte Art videos and post them online. Here are two great examples:
There is of course a lot more to say about coffee. And I will do just that, soon.

I love coffee too...and am only just begining to explore stuff outside of the plain old coffee stuff. Any tips?
significant? ;-) Well, there's nothing wrong with loving other things than traditional "do-good" things. Can you imagine what a mess we would be in if 6 billion people were thinking only about saving whales?
Or, as Harold Whitman writes more eloquently:
“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive, and then go and do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.”
