LATTE ART COURSE

The course will be held at our totally equipped centre.  Participants must have the Barista Level 1 certification.  The barista must master espresso and cappuccino preparation and steaming milk.  The objective of the course is to learn how to make these drinks much more attractive and entertaining to prepare.  The customer will not only enjoy an excellent coffee, but will also be amused by the artistic presentation.  The barista can show off and mark a great difference with “normal” coffees.  This is a valuable plus for any business.  It is an attractive and novel aspect of the barista’s training.  Other ingredients – chocolate, syrups – turn the presentation into a work of art.  Latte art is considered by many consumers to be the ultimate touch – the icing on the cake.

OBJECTIVE: to turn PRESENTATION into an ART.
