Latte Art Fundamentals

The moment milk becomes art. A heart, a rosetta, a tulip — free-pour latte art is where technical control meets creativity, and where a good coffee becomes a memorable one. This hands-on studio course is pitcher-in-hand from the first hour, with every pour reviewed and refined.

What You Will Learn

• Milk science: protein, fat and the physics of microfoam that pours like wet paint
• Steaming technique — stretching, spinning and finishing milk to a silk texture, every time
• The three foundation pours: heart, tulip and rosetta, broken down stroke by stroke
• Pour mechanics — height, tilt, flow rate and the moment to cut through
• Troubleshooting: why a pour failed, and the specific fix for each fault

What You Will Walk Away With

• Repeatable free-pour hearts and tulips — and a developing rosetta — poured by your own hand
• Milk texturing skill that lifts every drink you make, latte art or not
• A portfolio of photographed pours, and a skill customers ask about by name

Who It Is For

Baristas with basic espresso and milk skills — ideal after ACF Level 1 — and enthusiasts chasing the pour.
