1. Basics of Coffee Latte Art

Before you start making latte art, you need to understand some basic knowledge. Choosing the right milk is the key. Whole milk has a higher fat content and is suitable for making delicate milk foam; while skim milk has a lower fat content and is suitable for making large foam milk foam. A suitable coffee machine or manual steam coffee machine is also an essential tool.

2. Basic Latte Art Techniques

1. Pour-over method : This is one of the simplest latte art techniques. After heating the milk to a suitable temperature, use a manual or automatic steam coffee machine to pressurize it to create delicate milk foam. Tilt the cup at a 45-degree angle and pour the milk foam into the cup. Use your wrist to control the pouring direction to form an inverted coffee flower.

2. Thousand Layer Snow Cap : This method requires certain skills. On the basis of the pour-over method, after pouring the milk foam into the cup, use your wrist to control the pouring force and direction, so that the milk foam forms a delicate foam layer on the surface of the coffee, just like a snow cap.
