world-renowned latte artist and multi-time UK Latte Art Champion, Dhan Tamang. Book Summary & Key Details Core Focus: A comprehensive step-by-step guide designed to take home coffee enthusiasts from basic milk pouring skills up to competition-worthy intricate artwork. Techniques Taught: It covers foundational free pouring patterns—such as hearts, rosettas, and tulips—and scales up to advanced techniques including etching, stenciling, 3D sculpting, and using colors. The Cover Art: The design featured on the front cover is The Dragon, an advanced pattern created using a combination of a precise free pour and micro-detailed lines etched into the foam. Included Tools The silver utensils lying in front of the book are double-ended latte art etching pens (or needles). These specialty barista tools feature different tip styles—such as fine points, flat paddles, and small spoons—allowing you to drag the dark crema through the white microfoam to draw fine outlines, push shapes, or layer accents onto your coffee canvas.
