3D Latte Art & Etching with Adrian Bersaba

Making coffee is art itself, but our baristas have so much more to offer when it comes to the artistic aspect of making coffee. Craft your own 3D latte art designs using milk foam in your cup of joe then unleash your creativity by learning how to etch latte art. The etching technique is considered the simplest of latte art techniques that only involves ‘engraving’ or drawing on the surface of the finished drink with tools and syrups. Learn both skills with Commune’s barista, Adrian Bersaba.
