Our new Latte Art Factory Bar Pro (aka LAF Bar Pro) has won the prestigious Best New Product Award at the World of Coffee Milan event this June. Our foamer was pitted against many other new products in the Commercial Coffee Preparation and Serving Equipment category, and we’re proud to say that it came out on top!
Judges praised the product for its dynamic functionality and aesthetic design. The Specialty Coffee Association recognized the Latte Art Factory Bar Pro as a top new product in the industry, and we are thrilled!
UPDATE: The Latte Art Factory Bar Pro won the Specialty Coffee Association’s best new product award again in 2023 at World of Coffee Dubai and for the third time, making SCA history at the 2023 Portland Expo.
World of Coffee is one of the biggest events in the specialty coffee calendar, and this year’s edition was no exception. The three day event was packed with activities, from exhibitions and demonstrations to the World Coffee Championships. This year, we submitted our product for the Best New Product Award category. This win is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.
From the very start of development, our goal was to create a top-of-the-line product that would make it easy for baristas to create perfect foam every time. The LAF Bar Pro is not not only our response to the global staffing shortage in the coffee industry. It’s our way to empower baristas and help them create amazing drinks that constantly wow their customers.
The judges took into account aspects such as design, innovation, science, sustainability and current industry trends to come to their decision. We feel honored and inspired to have won this award, and will continue to innovate and develop products that make a real difference in the world of coffee.
We had hope that our product would be well-received at World of Coffee Milan, but to come away with the Best New Product Award is truly incredible. It’s true that our LAF Bar Pro combines style and substance to create the perfect foamer for any cafe. It has a small footprint, which means that it doesn’t create a barrier between barista and customer. It also improves the customers’ workflow, efficiency and speed of delivery without compromising on the quality of beverage.
The product’s sleek design enhances the customer’s experience, and its liquid textures and flavors give the barista complete control of the coffee experience. Compared to other machines on the market, the LAF Bar Pro is a step above the rest, as it can extract hot milk, hot foam, cold milk and cold foam, at the same time. This means that the barista can use up to three different phases of extraction in just one receive!
The LAF Bar Pro also lets you dispense any plant-based milk and foam it with the same quality and perfection as dairy milk. This means that you can make vegan-friendly coffees that taste just as good as regular coffees. You can also use chocolate milk and foam cold chocolate or hot chocolate at the push of a button.
Additionally, the LAF Bar Pro helps minimize milk wastage by up to 25%. This makes it a more sustainable option for cafes looking to reduce their environmental impact.
Finally, the LAF Bar Pro is cloud-enabled. This means that cafe owners can monitor consumption data in real-time. Thus, making more informed decisions about their menu and pricing. It also enables businesses to service the machine remotely, leading to less downtime and more reliable performance. Technology solutions have always been at the heart of our company ethos, alongside a commitment to superior quality and innovation. We are very proud to say that the LAF Bar Pro is a reflection of all that.

Here at Latte Art Factory, we’re constantly striving to create products that make a difference in the lives of our customers. As a leading manufacturer of award-winning coffee equipment, we always set the bar high for our products and continue to be at the forefront of the industry.
We’re thrilled to have won the best new product award and view it as a real vindication of our vision for the LAF Bar Pro.

Welcome to the future of milk frothing! Speed, elegance and consistency never
looked so good. The
Latte Art Factory Bar Pro</a >
is the ultimate automatic milk frother for coffee shops, and it’s finally here.
Designed to be the perfect space-saving addition to any coffee shop, the
patented LAF Bar Pro can foam 1.5 liters of milk in just 60 seconds, while
maintaining the perfect temperature for your beverages. Intrigued? Of course you
are!
UPDATE:
The Latte Art Factory Bar Pro won the Specialty Coffee Association’s best
new product award of 2022 </a >and won again in
2023 at World of Coffee Dubai</a >
and for the
third time, making SCA history at the 2023 Portland Expo</a >.</strong >
For starters, it comes with integrated IoT features that provide full telemetry
and remote access to the machine for quick service and software updates. Not to
mention, the LAF Bar Pro is fully automated, so anyone can use it to create
barista-quality milk foam on demand. The speed of extraction of the LAF Bar Pro
has also been optimized to 1.5 liters of milk in just 60 seconds and guarantees
temperature consistency throughout the entire dispense. This means that not only
is the LAF Bar Pro fast, it is also consistent, meaning that you can be sure
that every cup of coffee will be made to perfection. But that’s not all! The LAF
Bar Pro can also create hot and
cold milk foam</a >
in up to three different textures, so you can make any beverage you can dream
up. Plus, it can foam just about any liquid – from plant-based milk alternatives
to chocolate milk, cold brew, and even kombucha!
Furthermore,
our patented milk foam technology doesn’t use steam, which
means that our milk foam isn’t diluted with water. This results in a pure
milk-foam taste, that’s simply unbeatable. We also designed the LAF Bar Pro to
be energy efficient. It produces milk foam on demand and does not waste energy
on standby, plus, since it doesn’t use steam, it saves water too.
In other words, the LAF Bar Pro is more than just a milk frother – it’s a
veritable barista assistant that will help you create any café beverage
imaginable. In fact, it’s the perfect solution for coffee shops looking to
tackle the global staffing shortage issue, as it doesn’t require an experienced
barista to operate. When we designed it, our aim was to make the perfect machine
for busy coffee shops who want to offer their customers barista-quality drinks
without all the hassle. We think we’ve achieved that, and then some! So, if
you’re looking to manage staffing costs and shortages, the LAF Bar Pro is the
answer. And with its fully automated cleaning mode, you can rest assured that
your machine will always be in tip-top shape.
Here are just six of the ways that the Latte Art Factory Bar Pro was built to
improve business for your café.

you. We are super excited to share with you that it is currently available for
