The Essentials
Ingredients

- Plant-based drink of choice
Equipment
- Espresso machine
- Coffee Grinder
- Scale
- Timer
- Tamper & Tampingmat
- Knockbox

- 2 Pitchers
- 3 Cloths

The method: in 3 simple steps
Step 1
Prepare your espresso(s) and steam your plant-based drink.
Step 2
Tilt your cup and create a canvas, like pouring a ‘brown cappuccino’.
Step 3
When the cup is 3/4 full, pause for a moment and then start pouring into the centre of the cup, wiggling from left to right, pushing out the base of the rosetta towards the front of the cup.
Slowly start moving to the back of the cup, still wiggling sideways while gradually levelling off your cup.
To finish the rosetta, lift the pitcher and ‘cut’ though the middle of the pattern towards the front of the cup.
Latte
"Accidentally created too much foam? Just pour a little of the excess out of the pitcher before you start pouring your latte."

Barista Notes
Before pouring patterns, start with a little pitcher practice. Pour a 'brown' and a 'white' cappuccino and build up your control – and confidence!
