How to Use Coffee Stencils and Create Latte Art at Home

Love latte art but think it’s only for professional baristas?
Good news — with coffee stencils and a bit of milk foam, you can create beautiful designs at home, even without experience.

With a few simple steps, every cup becomes a small piece of art — from smiling faces and hearts to inspiring morning messages.

What You’ll Need

To create your own coffee stencil art at home, you don’t need much — just a few simple ingredients and tools. Start with freshly brewed coffee, whether it’s an espresso, cappuccino, or latte. Warm up some milk and make a creamy foam; the smoother the texture, the clearer your design will be.

Next, prepare a bit of cocoa powder, cinnamon, or chocolate for that finishing touch. You’ll also need a coffee stencil — you can use a ready-made one or order a personalized design. Finally, have a small sieve or shaker on hand to evenly dust the powder over your stencil.

With these few essentials, you’re ready to turn any cup of coffee into your own creative masterpiece.
