The 2024 Columbus Coffee Latte Art competition was held online again this year and we had a record breaking number of entries with over 70 Baristas from across the Nation submitting their best designs.

Following the format from 2023, all names were drawn at random to compete against each other and each pair was given a specific design to recreate. The winning Barista from each pair moved on to the next round.

After 3 rounds of head to heads followed by Quarter and Semi finals, it came down to the defending Champion Stella Mitchell from Columbus Coffee Mitre 10 MEGA Porirua vs Rebekah Snellgrove from Columbus Coffee Pukekohe. It was a tough final and both did an incredible job, but a big congratulations to our new champion Rebekah who knocked the defending Champion off the top spot. Rebekah also took out the Best Pour of the competition with her Round 3 Seahorse latte art.

We can’t wait to see what the 2025 Latte Art Competition brings!
