A missed opportunity to celebrate one of our volunteer photographers,
especially considering the competitions that have included photographs
of food in the last year. Shame to fall back on stock photos and
commercial pro-photographers when we have our own massive project to
provide this as a free resource.

I couldnt find the image in

The image is only on

It appears to be a stock photo, by photographer Dimitrios Stefanidis.

So my hopeful guess WMF bought a licence to the photograph, but even
that would be inappropriate IMO.
It wouldnt have been hard to make a free photo of a coffee, or even
create a derivative of this lovely CC0 SVG
