The "Creative Latte Art and Coffee Presentation" course is a comprehensive program that takes students through the artistry of creating exceptional coffee drinks and latte art. The course begins with an introduction to the history and evolution of coffee culture, offering insights into different coffee beans, roasting profiles, and the basics of espresso and milk-based coffee drinks. Learners will gain an appreciation for the role of latte art in enhancing coffee presentation, as well as the essential tools and equipment needed to master the craft.

As the course progresses, students will dive into the science of milk steaming and frothing, learning how to choose the right milk (including dairy and alternatives) and steam it to the perfect texture and temperature for latte art. The course will also teach students how to troubleshoot common frothing mistakes and store milk properly to maintain its quality. With these foundational skills in place, students will move on to mastering basic latte art techniques, including the heart, tulip, and rosetta designs, with a focus on pouring techniques and free pour vs. etching methods.

Advanced latte art techniques are introduced, including layering methods for complex patterns, crafting intricate designs like swans and waves, and adding creative touches like chocolate and food coloring. Learners will also be taught how to etch designs using tools and develop competition-level latte art for professional presentation. The course also emphasizes coffee presentation, teaching learners about plating techniques, choosing the right cups and mugs, and using garnishes to enhance the coffee experience.

Further, the course explores the business side of latte art, including branding, social media marketing, and customer engagement. Learners will gain practical skills on how to showcase their latte art in cafes and monetize their expertise in high-volume or specialty coffee shops. The course concludes with hands-on practice and the creation of a personal latte art portfolio to showcase the skills learned throughout the program.
