Every cup is poured, not drawn.

Under the crema of every Cup & Pour coffee runs a live fluid simulation. Pour high to fill the cup, bring the pitcher low to draw in white, and watch a heart bloom — or wobble, if you were late. No two cups ever turn out the same.

What it does

Milk that really flows

The milk you pour sinks under the crema, rises as white foam, spreads and curls. The pattern comes from how you pour, not from a stencil laid over the coffee.

High to fill, low to draw

Hold the pitcher high and the cup fills without a mark. Bring it low and white stays on the surface. Turn the cup by its saucer or handle, even mid-pour, and switch to a slow pour when you need more control.

Three patterns and a free pour

Heart, tulip and rosetta, from easy to hard, each with its steps on screen. Free pour has no template at all — just you, the milk and the cup.

Not sure where to start? Tap Show me and the game pours the pattern for you, with the same pitcher and the same milk, one step at a time. Then it's your turn.

A score for every cup

Serve the coffee and see how closely it matches the template: a score out of 100 and a tip on what to change — go low sooner, stay low longer, pour closer to the centre.

Your own coffee bar

Every cup you serve is kept as a photo on a wooden café table. Open it in 3D, spin it, look from above or from table height, and pour it again. The gallery keeps your last 60 cups.

Latte art is a pouring skill, and the only way to learn a pour is to pour. Cup & Pour is a latte art game for Android that lets you do it as often as you like: steady the pitcher, drop it at the right moment, cut through the white — and see straight away what went right. It is the same pour a barista practises on real espresso, without a jug of milk going down the sink every time.

Starting out? Read how to pour a latte art heart, then why you learn the heart, tulip and rosetta in that order.

What this version does not do

Three patterns for now — heart, tulip and rosetta — plus free pour.
The milk always comes perfectly steamed. The game trains your pour, not your steam wand.
Served cups stay on this phone. There is no sharing or export yet.
Portrait only. Needs Android 8.0 or later and a phone with OpenGL ES 3.0 graphics.
