Battle of the baristas

2 Free latte art pouring in progress. The competition aims to provide a platform for local baristas to showcase their skills.

Baristas and coffee lovers will get the chance to battle it out at the inaugural Free Pour Latte Art Championship (FLC) – KL 2016 at Café Thirty Seconds in Bandar Sri Damansara on Feb 29.

Free pour latte art is unlike the 3D patterns or cartoon patterns you find in coffee these days. While those patterns are produced by adding foam or etching on the surface of the latte, free pour latte art is solely based on the skill of pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso, to produce amazing art on the resulting surface of the latte.
