Milk Science and Latte Art
Course & Certification
Latte art has gone from an occasional novelty in third-wave coffee shops to a signature of modern coffee culture. It’s no longer just the domain of specialty coffee; it’s been widely adopted all around the world, practiced from the kitchens of home baristas to the shop floors of mass chains. At Barista Hustle we recognise customers assume baristas have mastered this part of their craft — and those expectations can feel intimidating. We also understand how difficult and time-consuming it can be to pass on to other baristas the skills required for this complex craft.
This is why we’ve put together a complete training and certification platform to help you master these skills. Latte art can be fun and impressive, once you’ve got the hang of it.
With more than 40 videos and 50 lessons, drip-fed to you over three weeks, the Barista Hustle Milk Science and Latte Art course takes you from dairy to cup — teaching you everything from milk chemistry to practical technique. With a new and intuitive visual Latte Art Lexicon, we demystify and break down the steps required to produce stunning latte art. Through deconstructing known milk jug manoeuvres then working through latte art patterns with you, we steadily approach more complex patterns featuring an increasing number of elements. We start all of this with a comprehensive look at the science behind your milk and your foam.
Successful completion of the challenging final assessment will result in a Barista Hustle Milk Science and Latte Art Certification.
All of our courses and certifications are available through BH Unlimited as a monthly subscription or as a single course purchase, giving you access for life!

Will I learn how to make better cold brew?

Do I need an espresso machine, refractometer, or any other special equipment?
No. We’ve designed this course to help everyone that makes latte art or works with milk-based coffee drinks, regardless of their equipment. Practicing the manoeuvres and designs required for latte art may prove difficult without access to a machine however.
Is it suitable for beginner-level home or service baristas?
If you can hold a milk pitcher — this course is for you.
