Asia’s leading latte-art competition is coming back this year for a final battle in Hong Kong to challenge baristas to make the fastest and prettiest latte art.

The CP-Meiji Speed Coffee Art Championship 2025 will be hosted on May 14 at the HOFEX food and hospitality trade show held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, with winnings worth over HKD18,000 for the best of the best.

Asia-based baristas who can make speedy latte art are encouraged to register for the competition from Mar. 15–31 by submitting a self-introduction, explainer describing how they create their latte art, and video evincing their speed and artistic skills.

Only 32 baristas will make it to the final round at HOFEX. The winners will receive automatic qualification to the round of 64 at the Thailand Coffee Fest 2025 in July!
