free pour and designer pour. two patterns, judged on visual identity, contrast, and creativity.
what it is
World Latte Art is the most photogenic championship on the WCE calendar. Competitors create matching pairs of macchiati, designer lattes (using etching or pouring tools), and free-pour lattes — judged on visual identity, contrast, definition, and the difficulty of the pattern. The Korean and Taiwanese scenes have dominated the discipline for the last decade. Watching live is half artistry, half jewellery-grade precision.
