Printed Latte Art – FAQ’s:

1. How do you print on coffee?
A drink printer, or a coffee printer, like the Ripple Maker, prints images, logos, and messages straight onto the foam of a finished drink. The barista places the cup in the machine, picks a design from the app, and the print appears in seconds. The ink comes from natural extracts, so the drink tastes the same, without artificial colors, preservatives, or aftertaste.

2. What drinks work?
Any drink with a stable foam top: lattes, cappuccinos, flat whites, hot chocolate, chai and matcha lattes, cold foam drinks, beer, and foam-topped cocktails.

3. What foam is required?
Dense, smooth microfoam with a flat surface. For hot drinks, a steam wand works well. Milk alternatives work if they hold foam well. For iced coffee, cold brew, cocktails, or drinks that can’t be steamed, the Ripples Foamer adds a consistent, natural foam layer that’s ready to print on.

4. What can be printed?
Logos, photos, messages, names, personal AI Images, QR-style graphics, seasonal designs, and anything from the design library or your imagination.

5. How long does it take?
About 10 seconds per drink, whether you print in a single color or in full color.

6. Does it change the taste?
No. The ink is made from natural extracts and has no noticeable taste.

Latte Art Created with the Ripple Coffee Printer

How to create

coffee art?

How to create perfectly
printed coffee art?

Experiment with your milk and foam! Different milks create different foam textures.
Aim for a smooth, stable surface. Try Ripple’s Foamer to create print-ready foam
for cocktails, mocktails, and other foamy drinks.
Create a white center. Start pouring 1cm from the edge of the cup
to create a smooth, white canvas for your print.
Fill your cup to the brim. Make sure the foam reaches the rim
and is smooth, without visible bubbles.
Position your cup correctly. Place it in the center of the Ripple Maker tray,
within the white circle, to avoid off-center prints.
Choose the right design. Select a design from the Ripples gallery, or
upload your own through the WebApp, then tap to print in under 10 seconds.
