3 Judges will stand with their backs to the baristas and only turn once the baristas has presented their coffee, so the judges don’t know which barista poured which coffee. The art will be judged on 3 criterias

  • Contrast – Clear definition between espresso and milk foam. Strong contrast highlights the pattern and makes the design visually distinct.
  • Execution – Clean and precise pouring technique. Lines should be sharp, shapes well defined, and the pattern free of smudges or breaks.
  • Difficulty – The level of technical challenge in the design. More complex patterns and advanced pouring techniques demonstrates higher skill.
