Rules: You can bring your own jugs or use ours. It's a knockout format competition, with one barista at a time. Each participant receives one 200ml flat white cup. Ben Rahim's barista pours your shots, and then you steam your own milk and split your jugs. Pour your best latte art, with the focus on Hearts, Tulips, and Rosettas only.
The competitors are free to choose the steamer or the Übermilk machine.
The Judges assess various criteria including the texture of milk, contrast of colors, fullness of cup, symmetry, size, and definition of pattern, as well as the level of difficulty. They also look out for any spillages, milk wastage, and finger placement on the cup.

Latte art is a captivating form of artistic expression within the world of coffee. Baristas skillfully manipulate steamed milk to pour delicate shapes. This meticulous process requires a keen eye for detail, precision in pouring, and a deep understanding of milk texture and consistency. Latte art not only enhances the visual appeal of a coffee drink but also reflects the barista's dedication to craftsmanship and their ability to transform a simple beverage into a work of art.
The first Tunisian champion of the 2022 Latte Art competition is Bassem Abida.
The reigning champion of the 2023 Latte Art competition is Hajer ben Rahim.
