I think this is an excellent before and after shot... I particularly like the composition of the glass on the right side of the frame. The 'path' of the glass creates a nice leading line as well. The contrast of the glass against the bean background also adds a nice element to this photo.
The only area I can see for some possible improvement is the lighting... there is a strange gradient in the 'path' in the beans that looks slightly strange... I don't know if any additional depth of field would help that or not...
The title is a bit cheesy, but I love the composition and camera angle here. The swirl in the beans is gorgeous. The lighting is very warm, somehow it really conjures the smell of coffee to me. The only thing I don't like is that it's yet another bloody Starbucks reference... why is that brand name so common on this site? I'm glad we've managed to escape Starbuckisation in my country so far!
