Coffee or Latte art consists of the pouring of steamed milk into a shot of espresso generating a pattern or design on the surface.
The barista becomes a true designer and is able to create beautiful creations with the most common form being the “rosetta” pictured on the left.
Latte art is a hot topic and there are even several competitions around the world showcasing this unique form of art.
In this article, we’re showcasing 50 beautiful – and certainly delicious – coffee designs that will make you drool…

Which ones are your favorites? Please share your comments with us…

I’m always trying to improve my espresso skills and latte art… I even designed an iPhone app for it (http://baristaapp.com). Thanks for the post (and inspiration). Mmm, time for another coffee now.

Jake, you mean,… how did anybody manage to get these photos before drinking it??? surely its the hardest task in the world,… to be able to make yourself the time to grab the camera and try to set a steady pulse to take the pic instead of go ahead and drink it!!!

@Oliver – It’s actually regular sized cups! And they make these really fast, too!
There’s at least one place here in Vancouver where I live that makes these: http://www.caffeartigiano.com/
If you want to see how they’re done, check this out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YF_6JvJTQoE (pretty amazing!!!)

Ih there, FANTASTIC post !!! I loved it !!
But just a remark : if you want us to easily tell you the best we prefer, just add a number before each of them More simple
The best for me : /coffee_designs/48.jpg
Simple, Beautifull, and I you know a little bit in this art (I do) you will get that it’s an chocolate and honey/caramel double add on it … so beautifull … and delicious !!! :p

Being able to create art in a 3 inch circle is awesome by itself. While some of the designs stand out in the presentation, i think the flying pegasus is the richest in detail level.. too much and mind blowing
I have a suggestion for the next such list.. Could you number the pictures, so thate we can reference them in the comments correctly ?

This is something I’ve definitely never seen before! These actually make me want to drink coffee. Now my question: can they do it in hot chocolate? I love marshmallows in my hot chocolate, and I bet they’d make cool patterns when they melted.

After seeing those i am strongly desiring coffee, especially since i just made some and can smell it.
I love the creativity, design is everywhere! Where will your canvas be? Create something today, even if its not the norm and in a abnormal place… It may just put a smile not only on your face but others as well.
Thank you for putting this post together,

I can’t imagine how some of these were done. Beautiful. Years ago in London I went with a software distributor of mine to a restaurant that served lattes (or maybe it was espresso?) in a white cup with white foam and an M on top in cinnamon. I’d never seen anything like that before and was quite taken with it. Wish I could remember the restaurant name. Compared to these, it was just a stencil. This is artwork. Very impressive. The barristas deserve quite a tip! And I need coffee. Now.
