Rippled Heart

One heart, layered from the inside. Drop in, keep the spout on one spot and rock gently so the milk ripples out in rings, fill the centre, then pull through.

Stacked Rosetta

The advanced rosetta. A push base and heavy ripples in the middle, a small push forward, then a fast pull back so the leaves come out wide and chunky, finished with a heavier heart and a gentle cut.

Pour Score groups the nine patterns into five tiers: Beginner, Home Pourer, Confident, Café Ready and Barista. Each tier unlocks as you log pours.
