Coffee & Latte Art

This course teaches the cause-and-effect behind a good cup rather than a set of memorised recipes, so you can diagnose and fix a drink instead of guessing. You will learn the espresso variables that actually matter (dose, yield, time, and grind) and how to dial a shot to a target ratio around 1:2 in roughly 25 to 30 seconds, taste it on the sour-bitter axis, and adjust grind to correct it. You will steam milk in two phases, stretching then texturing, to build the smooth, wet, reflective microfoam latte art needs, then pour a heart, a rosetta, and a tulip by controlling height, flow, and the finishing cut, and rescue a flat or off-centre pour with a simple etched design. By the end you can produce a balanced shot and a clean poured pattern on demand, and explain exactly what to change when one comes out wrong.
