Your latte art coach
Snap your cup. lattecoach recognises the pattern, rates it on six well-known latte art criteria and marks right on your photo what to change on the next pour.
What happens after the photo
A pitcher pours a heart into the cup, the cup is photographed, the coach marks two spots, estimates 64 out of 100 points and gives a tip.
Patterns
A heart is judged differently from a swan. Besides these four, lattecoach also recognises the winged tulip.
Where everyone starts. Symmetry, contrast and a clean tip count.
Stacked layers that separate cleanly instead of running into each other.
Fine, even leaves and a stem that runs straight through the middle.
Wing, neck and head in one pour. For advanced baristas.
How it works
Cup from above, good light. That’s all you need.
lattecoach recognises your pattern and rates it on six criteria. As an honest estimate, not an exam.
You see on the photo where it goes wrong and get concrete tips on pouring height, speed, milk foam and cup tilt.
12Feedback
Numbered markers show you on the photo where it goes wrong. Each one comes with the reason and a tip for your next pour.
Give each layer a short pause and start the next one a little further forward.
Keep the cup tilted steadily until the layer has settled. Only then bring it upright.
Your coach: Your layers are there. What’s missing is patience: pause, then pour the next one.
lattecoach sees what you poured and tells you honestly what to change next time. Short, specific, no fluff.

Heart, tulip, rosetta, winged tulip and swan. If there is no latte art in the photo, the coach tells you instead of making something up.
No. lattecoach rates by well-known latte art criteria with its own level system and isn’t affiliated with any certification body. The rating shows you where you stand, but it doesn’t replace an official exam.
Straight from above, in daylight or bright light, with the whole cup in the frame. Flash and strong reflections distort the contrast.
Your analyses and photos are private. An analysis only becomes public if you create a share link yourself, and you can revoke it at any time.
No. What matters is fine milk foam. It’s easiest with an espresso machine, but the coach rates every photo, however the coffee was made.
Pour, snap, learn. Your first 3 analyses are on us.
