Easy ways to make coffee look great (No latte art needed!)
There’s no denying that latte art makes coffee look amazing. Somehow, a simple heart or leaf can make your morning cup taste that little bit more delicious! The trouble is, pouring beautiful latte art takes a lot of practice. I’ve created more wonky potato-shaped hearts than I’d care to admit! The good news? You don’t need barista-level skills to make your coffee look beautiful.

Cheat’s latte art
Mint green glass coffee cup, £8.95
Enjoy the look of latte art without having to master the perfect pour! Before adding your milk to your coffee, set aside a small spoonful of the foam. Pour your coffee as usual, then gently spoon three small blobs of foam onto the surface. Finally, use a cocktail stick to drag through the centre of each blob, creating a simple heart or wave pattern in seconds.
Sprinkle with edible flowers
Jade green glass coffee cup, £8.95
This might just be the prettiest coffee you’ll ever make! Simply scatter a few edible dried flowers over the top of your coffee for an elegant, coffee shop-worthy finish. I sprinkled mine across the whole surface, but you could also arrange them around the edge of the cup or decorate just one half for a more delicate look.
Café-style chocolate dusting
Milky blue glass coffee cup, £8.95
Perfect for anyone with a sweet tooth, this trick gives your coffee an instant café style finish. Simply place a chopping board (or any flat surface) half way across the top of your cup, then lightly shake over chocolate powder. When you lift it away, you’ll be left with a clean, elegant divide and a beautifully dusted cappuccino style look.
Sprinkle it on

As an added bonus, they bring a little extra sweetness to every sip. And honestly one of the best ways to make your coffee even more special is to add a sweet treat!
