Latte Art Training Classes with David Schomer - Espresso Vivace

Coffee Fest Seattle 2003--Washington State Convention & Trade Center
October 24-26, 2003

Coffee Fest Seattle 2003 Latte Art Training Classes will be conducted by David Schomer, co-founder and co-owner of Espresso Vivace in Seattle, Washington. Viewed by many as one of the world's foremost experts on the art and science of espresso extraction, Mr. Schomer is responsible for taking Free Pour Latte Art from a little known Italian practice to the coffee retail world with the release of his video "Caffe Latte Art" in 1995. The video covers milk texturing using the steam wand, and the mechanics of pattern creation.

Although it is a "finish," Latte Art affects the flavor of the espresso. Coffee flavor is enhanced by the micro-bubble texture that is essential to delineate the patterns in the finished cups. A latte finished in this manner is not only visually stunning but ensures that captured within, is a taste sensation unlike most coffee retailers are currently providing to their customers.

The 2nd annual Dillanos Latte Art Competition and the two Latte Art Training Classes are provided for Coffee Fest Seattle attendees to further the awareness and appreciation of this culinary art form.

Offered as part of Coffee Fest Seattle, Coffee Fest Training sessions and the Latte Art Competition create an opportunity for both exhibitors and attendees to get in touch with the latest trends in the specialty coffee and tea industries and are included in the registration. Seating capacity for the Latte Art Training sessions is limited to 340 plus standing room.
