Latte art workshop in Porto at abcoffee for anyone who wants to learn how to steam milk properly and start creating the beautiful shapes that turn a good espresso drink into something genuinely satisfying to make and to look at. This 1.5-hour hands-on barista workshop covers the fundamentals of milk steaming technique and teaches you how to pour latte art, giving you the skills to make cappuccinos, flat whites and other milk-based drinks with the kind of finish you usually only see in your favourite coffee shops. Led by the abcoffee team in a specialty coffee space in the heart of Porto built around precision and genuine coffee craft.

The session is practical from the very beginning, focusing on getting the basics and techniques of milk foaming right before moving on to the pouring itself. Steaming milk correctly is one of the most valued and frequently misunderstood skills in coffee, and understanding the texture, temperature and behaviour of properly steamed milk is what makes the difference between a flat white that is simply adequate and one that is genuinely excellent. The latte art that follows builds on that foundation, with hands-on practice in drawing the shapes that make coffee both delicious and visually impressive.
