Latte art lasts a couple of minutes. The impression, much longer.

Julia Bergenstråle holding milk pitchers

I started pouring in a Stockholm café in 2018, alongside my studies. By 2019 I had a home espresso machine and a question that's driven everything since — what's actually happening in the pitcher?

I treat milk as chemistry — proteins and fats, pressure and heat. That's where microfoam and contrast come from. Based at Nordic Brew Lab in Stockholm. Still doing this for the reason I started — the small lift someone gets from a really good cup.
