Originally from Kathmandu in Nepal, I have been in the UK for six years, after moving here to learn all I could about coffee. Since my first job as a barista, I have loved the world of coffee. What better job is there than being able to make my customers smile every day by presenting them with their coffee and an extra special design?
The longer I work with coffee, the stronger my passion grows. Im always eager to learn more about this craft and want to travel the world to learn more and share my knowledge. My diligence and passion has lead to me win the UK Latte Art Champion award five times and Id now like to share my passion and ideas with you at home with the fantastic designs in this book.
The most fantastic coffee art really is possible for any home barista with just a little patience and practice. The designs in this book will show you how to create picture-perfect artworks on top of your coffee. From elegant designs to fabulous 3D sculptures, you will be able to learn everything from mastering the basic coffee pouring skills through to more complex black belt barista designs. There are more than 60 designs to try and by the end of this book you will be able to free pour, etch, stencil and sculpt stunning images, which will delight dinner party guests and family members alike.
There is very little equipment you need to be able to create coffee art, but here is a rundown of the basics:
A coffee machine to make espresso.
A milk frother these can be as basic or as expensive as you can afford and will be used to steam and froth milk to make your lattes, cappuccinos and babyccinos. You may have a full coffee machine with a steaming wand to meet all your needs, but you can achieve the same results using a basic milk frother.
A pouring jug to pour the steamed and frothed milk into your espresso.
A selection of coffee cups in different sizes ranging from small espresso cups through to large cappuccino cups, depending on how big you like your coffee.
An etching tool you can use anything to etch, such as the handle of a teaspoon, a bradawl (woodworking tool), cocktail stick or a skewer.
A damp cloth for wiping your etching tool clean between etches.
Powdered food colouring for colouring milk foam.
Thick card and a scalpel to create stencil designs on top of your coffee art.
You will need to steam and froth milk to pour into an espresso to . The foam texture should be velvety. The amount of milk foam you need depends on what size of cup you are using. For a 300ml (10fl oz) cup you will need 235ml (8fl oz) of cold milk. The milk should be frothed and steamed to about 60C (140F), unless you are making a babyccino, in which case it should be no hotter than 50C (122F).
A combination of crema and milk foam is needed to create latte art. The crema is the velvety, chocolate-coloured layer of espresso that naturally forms on top as the coffee is poured. The art of creating a design through pouring relies on maintaining the crema as a contrast to the white milk foam. Simply pouring milk into a coffee without following the will destroy the crema and leave you with no pattern on top of your coffee.
Pour an espresso into any size of cup (we have used a 300ml /10fl oz cup). Hold the cup with the handle facing your body and tilt the cup 45 degrees.
Pour the steamed milk into the middle of the coffee from a height of about 8cm (3 inches). The milk will go into the espresso, but the crema will stay on the top to create a layer of soft froth.
Pour in a consistent stream, zigzagging the flow of milk across the cup, left to right and back again, as if you are drawing smiles across the cup as it fills up. This will maintain the crema.
As you pour, lower the jug closer to the cup until the cup is two-thirds full (or as full as the recipe specifies). Create your design as instructed.
Support the forearm of your pouring hand with your other hand if this helps to keep it steady. Moving your wrist rather than your whole arm is also a good way to keep your pouring and etching steady.
Take a deep breath before you start to pour a design and slowly let it out as you pour this will help you stay steady and focussed on the design.
I like to stand with a wide and firm stance so that I dont wobble while Im pouring this position has been nicknamed the Dhan Tamang Stand.
