The Latte Art Competition Workshop brought together aspiring coffee artists for an exclusive learning experience with Expat. Roasters coffee specialist Adinda Agustina, focusing on preparation, mindset, and workflow strategies to achieve the perfect pour in a latte art competition.
The workshop featured a Coffee Art Competition with 10 participants, providing a platform for baristas and coffee enthusiasts to improve their technical skills while understanding the discipline and creativity behind professional latte art.
During the session, Adinda Agustina shared valuable insights into the preparation process required before entering a competition. Participants learned that achieving a high-quality latte art result is not only about pouring technique, but also about building confidence, consistency, and a strong competition mindset.
The workshop highlighted several important aspects of competition preparation, including understanding coffee and milk characteristics, improving workflow efficiency, and developing precision during the pouring process. Participants were guided through techniques to create balanced patterns, maintain control of milk texture, and deliver a consistent final presentation.
“Latte art is a combination of skill, patience, and creativity. A good pour starts long before the milk meets the coffee,” Adinda explained during the workshop, encouraging participants to focus on both technical preparation and mental readiness.
The session allowed each participant to apply the knowledge gained during the workshop. With guidance and feedback from Adinda, participants evaluated their pouring techniques and explored ways to refine their approach for future coffee competitions.
