Latte Art Course — Beginners

Pablo runs it at our roastery in Alcover (Tarragona), in groups of 8 people maximum. You practise on the bar in turns from minute one, with Pablo correcting every pour.

What you'll learn

1 · Perfect milk. The science of microfoam: temperature, texture and shine. Steaming step by step, and how to emulsify plant-based drinks so they hold the pattern.

2 · The canvas. Espresso as the base of latte art: crema, contrast and choice of cup. Without a good base no pattern holds.

3 · The base pours. Jug control, height and flow. The heart, the tulip and the rosetta, with guided practice and repetition until it lands.

4 · Correction and consistency. The classic faults — dry foam, a pattern that sinks, milk taken past temperature — and how to fix them so the result is the same every time.

Who it's for

For anyone already pulling a decent espresso at home who wants their coffees to look the part too. For baristas sharpening their technique and looking for consistency on the bar. And for hospitality owners who want to raise the visual level of their coffee menu.

Some basic espresso knowledge is recommended. If you're starting from zero, the Barista Basics course is the place to begin.
