Irish Late Art Championship (ILAC)

The Irish Latte Art Championships celebrate the creativity and technical skill behind every beautiful cup of latte art. In this visually captivating competition, baristas showcase their mastery of milk texturing and pouring techniques, creating intricate designs and patterns atop espresso. Competitors are challenged to reproduce their signature designs with precision, artistry, and consistency, and their work is judged on visual appeal, consistency, and difficulty.

The ILAC offers an inspiring platform for baristas to push their creative boundaries, share their artistry, and gain recognition within the specialty coffee community. Whether you’re an experienced artist or new to latte art, this competition is a fantastic opportunity to elevate your craft, connect with others, and make your mark with every pour.

Details on the next ILAC will be shared on the Newsfeed, as well as through social media and email list, so make sure you’re subscribed and following along for future announcements.
