Latte Art

The “examiners” or “judges” are baristas who have achieved the green or black grade and who have undergone the necessary criteria to carry out the role of examiner.

“Green judges” can examine the white, orange and green gradings.

“Black judges” can examine any level.

Holders of a red grading can examine white, orange and green.

The examiners or judges have passed a skills test qualifying them to evaluate and assess gradings. The examiners will be in possession of an evaluation sheet and a stopwatch, and they will photograph and/or video the grading as evidence and for validation of the result.

The grading can be carried out:

– at premises certified to run courses/exams in latte art – Grading Points

– through qualified examiners

– during specially organised “latte art grading” events (including latte art competitions).

The premises must be equipped with specific tools for carrying out the grading, such as espresso machine, coffee grinder. (Milk jugs, cups and etching tools can be brought by the barista).

Milk and coffee are at the discretion of the premises or the barista.

grade achieved.

The certificate indicates the level obtained, the date, the location and the signatures of the examiner and the general coordinator of the grading system. Your name will be listed in the register of latte art grading, on a visible page of the website.  As a symbol of your achievement you will also receive a milk jug in the corresponding colour, with the words “Latte Art grading system”.
