Latte Art is a joy, a wonder, and a delicious reminder of all coffee can be. Latte art can be celebrated in so many ways—online, at community events, and even in your own home, with the right equipment and know-how. But once a year there is a national competitive gathering of the nation’s premiere artists working exclusively in the medium of latte. These are truly the most exquisite pours in all the land. And we celebrate them we shall, for it’s time to take a closer look at some of our favorite pours from the 2024 United States Latte Art Championships!
Let’s get one thing out of the way up front: the 2024 United States Latte Art Champion is Joe Yang of Artly Coffee in Portland, Oregon! Joe Yang will now move on to compete at the World Latte Art Championship in Copenhagen, Denmark.
