Manuela Fensore, Italian champion Latte art 2018. We have a training workshop in via Giacinto Bruzzesi 25, in the heart of Giambellino. After winning a competition on April 15, 2017, winning a e61 Legend pusher, then I arrived vice world champion of the Lags Battle circuit as a black dairy in 23/10/2017, but today they are the only gold milk jug in the LAGS circuit world! The2018 World Latte Art Championship has just wrapped up its second day here at the 2018 Brazil World Coffee Championships, with competitors representing China, Poland, Malaysia, South Korea, Greece and Australia moving onto the Finals of the World Latte Art Championship. Today the 12 semi-finalists competed on-stage, creating two matching sets of ALifrom a kitchenhand to barista, and fell in love with latte art and competitions. I really wanted to improve my skills and become a strong barista, so I entered the ASCA Latte Art regional competition. I competed in the nationals four times, endured two gut-wrenching second-place finishes in 2016 and 2017, but 2018 was my turn. Finally, I won. cash. Dreams played a large role in Irvine Quek Siew Lhek’s World Latte Art Championship WLAC performance, from his goal of earning Malaysia its first coffee championship trophy to his dream of being alone on a deserted island, which inspired his island animal designs. He has always dreamed big. “I actually had a hidden message to deliver in my story and routine. What I said to the judges and audience was I had a dream’, and I presented all the animals I saw in my dream,” Irvine says. As it turns out, Irvine’s dreams did come true. He is the 2018 World Latte Art Champion. In the final round, Irvine’s designs included hornbill and monkey free pours as well as a dolphin for his designer latte art. To create his designs, Irvine used the animal eye pouring technique that his predecessor, 2017 World Latte Art Champion Arnon Thitiprasert, invented to create his designs in the prior year’s competition. “I worked hard to master this technique and bring it to another level of difficulty. What I was aiming for was to make realistic latte art even more realistic,” he says. Irvine attributes his victory to a combination of his latte art talents and having a personable presence on stage. “Definitely my skills [helped] but beside this, I think my personality and character on the stage [contributed to my win]. I truly enjoyed presenting,” he says. Irvine hopes to use his WLAC title to launch his own brand, and produce milk pitchers and other merchandise. “I love to study pitchers and frequently modify them. I’m looking for an opportunity to launch my own pitcher which would be designed for making latte art,” Irvine says. Despite his victory, Irvine’s thirst for competition has not been sated. The barista says his goal is to earn a few more WLAC titles. “I still think that I’m not good enough and want to keep improving,” he says. Irvine says he hopes his title, as well as Regine Wai Yee Beng of Page 2 Café placing second in the World Brewers Cup, brings more attention to Malaysia’s coffee scene.
