How it started

Three years ago, Linda's coffee journey started with a simple home machine and a weak steam wand. A late night online rabbit hole of mesmerizing latte art videos had first caught her attention. She soon realized that what the baristas made look so effortless was actually quite challenging, but at that point she was already hooked. Coffee stopped being just a beverage and slowly became a canvas. When she finally became a barista, every single drink she served turned into a unique chance to share her passion, and since those early days, she has poured her heart, love and effort into every cup.

How it's going

Her desire to continuously improve eventually led her to compete at the Swiss Latte Art Championships in 2025. Preparing for this event required intense focus, and Linda was incredibly lucky to train with Fabio Scacciaferro, a renowned Latte Art Champion. His guidance truly brought her skills to the next level. This was a very important part of her ongoing journey as she found a deeper respect and admiration for the craft.

To Linda, latte art is not only aesthetic, it is a way of respecting the coffee bean and the hard work of the farmers. It is a continuous path to grow as a barista. Most importantly, it is a wonderful way to put a smile on a customer's face.

Passing on the Passion

Today, Linda shares her love for Latte Art and Specialty Coffee at Roastery Engelberg. Teaching our Latte Art Courses has quickly become one of the most rewarding aspects of her work. Seeing a student light up after pouring their very first heart lets her relive the excitement that sparked her own passion. Empowering passionate coffee lovers to bring that skill into their own homes and share it with their friends and family has become a passion of its own.
