HELLO, FELLOW LATTE ARTISTS! READY TO FIGHT?
If you are among those specialty-coffee nerds who have already found the answers to questions like: Why is my latte art bad? // Why does my latte art disappear? // Is latte art a skill? We invite you to cross jugs and dexterity with the best, and an honest jury to evaluate who deserves the special award from our favorite Minor Figures. #sofialateartthrowdownMF

JURY
- Nikolai | La Marzocco
- Dimana | BG Coffee Guide
- Velimir | Latte Art Champion of Bulgaria & Coffee Syndicate co-founder
The competition will be held in knockout rounds. The latte art that the contestants will have to recreate will be decided by a dice before each round. Competitors will be entitled to one training attempt and one competition art which they must present to the jury. "On three" the jury points to the cup that, in their opinion, comes closest to the picture from the dice. The winner continues, and the loser goes to drink a cocktail.
The winner will be crowned the Best MINOR FIGURES Latte Art Master in Bulgaria and will get a lot of MINOR FIGURES merch, and for the rest there will be consolation prizes. We have taken care of everyone's good mood with lemonades and cola from Community Cola, Dash, Lemonaid.
You'll be able to shoot and upload to your social networks the best content, and we'd be super grateful if you used our event hashtag #sofialateartthrowdownMF. After the end of the competition, we will also announce the winner and bid for likes.
JURY
One of the founders of Mental & Coffee Syndicate, who sincerely believes that coffee can be at the center of business, and direct contact with happy customers "makes you happy too". P.S. The Latte Art Champion, who we have been waiting for four years to represent Bulgaria at the World Championship!
Kind of like the only coffee influencer who doesn't call herself a coffee influencer. She is behind the BG Coffee Guide project - because of her love for coffee, born at a course for home baristas 7 years ago, and because of the respect for the people who try to make coffee better here.
Nikolay Litov was the first Barista Champion of Bulgaria way back in 2009. Ever since then, he has been part of the Ibeco team, the official importer of La Marzocco for Bulgaria, and has been spreading his skills for preparing delicious specialty (and not only) coffee.
WITH THE INVALUABLE SUPPORT OF
The coffee that gives flavor and color to your latte art. Samurai Specialty Coffee is responsible for the basis for your latte art - the coffee comes from Honduras and more precisely from the 3rd generation of Fincas Mierisch producers.
La Marzocco will take care of providing the coffee machines with which you can prepare the best latte art. Linea Mini - our favorite classic. Because you can prepare the best latte art even with a home coffee machine, as long as it's a La Marzocco.
We are not claiming that MINOR FIGURES is the best microfoam milk alternative or that it best enhances (without overpowering) the flavor of the coffee you are working with. We'll leave it up to you to see for yourself and then make your claim.
COMPETITION COFFEE
Samurai Specialty Coffee went through a lot of profiles and cuppings until finding the coffee they believe will make the best basis for the competitors - Fincas Mierisch from Honduras.
The light notes of red fruits such as strawberry and cherry and the pleasant sensation of chocolate come from the Red Catuai variety, and the coffee has undergone a washed process at the La Lalita station. The Mierisch family, now in its third generation, has perfected its production, sourced from three farms in Honduras and several more in Nicaragua.
