Meet Francesco Bozzato, the 23-year-old barista from Bayreuth, who whips up more than just a cup of coffee at his family's café. With a passion for art and an eye for detail, he creates breathtaking, edible designs on cappuccinos, drawing guests from around the globe.

Hues and Brushes in the Milk Foam
At first, customers might be hesitant about colored cappuccinos. But Bozzato reassures, "The colors I use are vegan, gluten-free, and safe for consumption." To create such masterpieces on the cappuccino, Bozzato uses specially concocted food colors that he developed with an expert. Sadly, these colors aren't available for purchase.
To apply these vibrant hues, Bozzato adds the colors to the milk foam and skillfully pours them onto the coffee. For more intricate designs, he employs brushes or color bottles with fine spray nozzles, meticulously creating landscapes, butterflies, and even replicas of famous paintings on the milk foam. However, this can only be done on cold coffee and a specific cold milk foam, taking a bit more time and effort than regular cappuccinos.
