Who we are
Every cup is an opportunity. Frank Epping
founded Latte Art Factory to eliminate
inconsistencies in manually crafted coffee,
aiming for perfection in every cup.
Redefining coffee
cup by cup
The spark of innovation
Frank realized how hard it was to craft perfect milk foam—especially consistently. He saw baristas struggle and customers disappointed. Driven by this challenge, Frank founded the company in 1995, bringing with him decades of hands-on experience—from running international cafés to pioneering Germany’s first pay-per-portion coffee model.
His mission: Make great coffee easy, consistent and accessible. His impact: Introduced the first macchiatos in Germany and gave back through the Cup&Cino Foundation, funding clean water projects in coffee-growing regions.
CUP&CINO began as a family and remains one today. With a passion for excellence and innovation, we’ve reimagined what coffee can mean, both as a product and as a way to do business. We’re on a journey to perfect every cup, and we believe that “good” is never the end, it’s just the beginning.
