The Bean to Cup: Crafting the Perfect Latte with Artful Design event combines practical skills with creative expression.

By the end of this two-hour session, you’ll have the confidence to create cafe-quality lattes in your own kitchen.
Understanding the fundamentals of coffee is essential for crafting the perfect latte. During the workshop, participants will learn about coffee bean varieties, optimal grinding techniques, and the significance of water quality and temperature. The instructors at Coffee Coffee will demonstrate proper espresso extraction methods, explaining how factors like grind size, tamping pressure, and extraction time affect the flavor profile of your espresso—the foundation of any great latte.
Equally important is mastering the art of milk steaming. Attendees will learn how to create silky, velvety microfoam with the perfect temperature and texture needed for latte art. The workshop covers different steaming techniques, how to hear the distinct “paper tearing” sound that indicates proper aeration, and how to achieve that glossy finish that professional baristas consistently produce. These critical skills create the ideal canvas for your latte art designs and ensure that every sip of your homemade latte is as delicious as it is beautiful.

The workshop dedicates significant time to the artistic side of latte making. Instructors will provide step-by-step guidance on basic pouring techniques that create the foundation for all latte art designs.

The class breaks down each pattern into manageable steps, with instructors demonstrating proper cup angles, pouring heights, and wrist movements that make the difference between a blob and a beautiful design.
Common mistakes will be addressed throughout the session, such as pouring too quickly, incorrect milk texture, or improper cup positioning. The friendly baristas at Coffee Coffee understand that latte art requires practice and patience, and they’ll share valuable tips for continuing your practice at home. They’ll recommend affordable tools and equipment for home baristas and provide resources for further learning. By the end of the class, you’ll have created your own latte art masterpiece and gained the confidence to continue developing your skills.
