Latte art is the art of painting on coffee using airy milk foam. Baristas learn this skill over the years, constantly improving their skills. Every year, competitions are held around the world, videos from which collect hundreds of thousands of views on social networks. But equipment manufacturers have not ignored the fashionable topic, and machines have appeared on the market that can take images without human intervention.
The coffee printer is capable of creating a design of any complexity in a cup, including 3D images. Despite the high cost and the need for constant maintenance, more and more cafe owners are buying the device to please their customers.
What is a coffee foam printer?
There is hardly a place for such a printer in an ordinary kitchen. Working at home will not cover the funds spent on it. They are installed by progressive coffee shops, bars and restaurants. With its help you can surprise and delight your visitors.
A coffee printer will increase the recognition of the establishment. It will immediately open up an influx of new visitors. The service of printing photographs and images on drinks is a service that is extremely popular. It has been proven that profits after purchasing a device increase by 30% on the first day of using the machine.
Starting models of coffee printers could only print one-color designs on the foam. They were replaced by more modified devices of a new generation. They can produce complex color images. Cartridges are installed inside the structure. They are filled with food coloring through a syringe. Additions must be introduced carefully to avoid air locks.
The device works through an application on your phone or laptop. The printer library consists of basic pictures and texts. Some models have the function of uploading your own pictures, drawings and even selfies.

The Essence of the Franchise
Coffee Printers are now gaining huge interest among cafes, bars, restaurants, fitness clubs, exhibitions and events. Our printers are often ordered even for rent for weddings. You can either sell these printers or rent them out!
Not everyone wants to spend money and buy a printer for personal use; for such clients there is a rental option. Since the equipment is unique and there is zero competition, you can set good prices.
Many companies that organize exhibitions, events, and weddings want to see a coffee printer at their booth for 1-3 days. Equipment rental for 1-3 days was always at a high price.
We offer several options for cooperation.
Areas of use
Coffee printers are very popular in Cafes, Bars, and Restaurants. Establishments are happy to buy or rent devices to create a WOW effect among their guests.
Cafes can use this printer in different ways:
- Printing photos of guests;
- Printing logos of your cafe (raise the status of your establishment);
- Printing funny pictures (which lift your spirits);
- Wishes and congratulations (have a nice day, happy March 8th, happy birthday).
Imagine what emotions coffee, an alcoholic cocktail or a glass of cold beer with your photo or a funny image on the foam will evoke in you in the establishment. This is a huge charge of positive emotions, even because it is something new, there is nothing like it anywhere! Customers are happy to share this on social networks and thereby advertise establishments in their city.
Other niche clients are organizers of exhibitions, events and even wedding ceremonies.
For these events, Coffee Printers are rented for 1-3 days. Companies rarely buy such equipment, since they will only use it for 1-3 days; it is easier for companies to cooperate with you on an ongoing basis and rent equipment for a specific client.
Cooperation options
Option 1) Franchise for attracting clients.
This option of cooperation represents additional income. You can combine it with your main job. You are required to call establishments and offer them the purchase or rental of our Coffee Printers. Once the client is interested in purchasing, you can transfer this call to our professional managers who will close the deal. All responsibility to the client, delivery, guarantees and training falls on our company.
We have 2 of the most popular models: Coffee Printer for 4 cups and Evebot Premium.
After selling a Coffee Printer for 4 cups (after the transaction takes place) you receive 4,000 rubles for each printer sold. As soon as you sell the fourth printer in a month, you receive 8,000 rubles for it. For each subsequent one you will receive 5,000 rubles.
After each sale of Evebot Premium you receive 7,000 rubles. As soon as you sell the third printer in a month, you receive 9,000 rubles for it. All subsequent printers cost 9,000 rubles each.
If there is our partner in your city who will rent coffee printers (Second Franchise Option) and you find a client to rent, you will receive from 15-20% of his contract with the client.
Each manager will have a bonus for the client! When purchasing a printer, the client receives an additional set of monochrome inks. Our company sells this ink for 1,500 rubles. Thus, it turns out that it is more profitable for the client to buy from the manager than from us directly.
A good manager earns an average of 60,000 rubles.
To start this Franchise package, you need to fill out an application and pay a lump sum fee of 3,000 rubles to confirm your intentions for serious work. We don't want to produce thousands of managers, we want to train people who will work and develop with us!
This amount includes:
- Educational video lessons, presentations.
- Training videos, descriptions of printers.
- Package of audio calls from our professional managers (Communication with clients).
- Package of audio training lessons, negotiations.
- Speech.
- A personal manager with whom you can call and ask all the necessary questions.
Option 2) Franchise “Teamwork”
This Option is designed for renting Coffee Printers.
You need to purchase a modified Coffee Printer from us and rent it out to organizations and cafes in your city. If we receive an application from your city, we transfer it to you.
Client 1) Exhibitions, events, corporate events, coffee breaks, weddings and so on are held every day in every city.
Every day, the organizers of these events are racking their brains on how to surprise their visitors, what to offer them that is new in order to attract even more potential clients, and then a new “trick” appears - the Coffee Printer. You just need to contact them and tell them that you have a new product, they will be happy to offer this opportunity to their clients and also make money from it. You will also receive rental requests from our partners who have chosen the first option of our franchise.
The printer does not make coffee, it only makes an image on the foam. But you don’t need to buy expensive coffee machines, since at this type of event, in practice, a trained barista will already be working on a special coffee machine. You will only need to put the ready-made drink into the coffee printer.
Average prices for renting a coffee printer.
First day – 15,000 rubles. It all depends on the operating time and the number of cups. From the second day the price is 5,000 – 8,000 rubles per working day. Thus, if you hold only 3 events a month for 2 days, your minimum profit will be 60,000 rubles from one printer.
Client 2) Cafes, Bars, Restaurants are ready to test this printer in their establishment.
Since the technology is new, customers like it, but they are afraid whether it will work or not. The client wants to test the device before purchasing or simply wants to rent it and receive a full range of technical services from you.
Two weeks of such rent costs 15,000 rubles. Month – 20,000 rubles. If a client wants to rent a coffee printer on a permanent basis, it will cost from 12,000 rubles per month (agreement of 6 months).
You will also receive rental requests from our partners who have chosen the first option of our franchise.
At the same time, you will also sell the client additional consumables during the rental process (Ink and Cartridges).
In the process of searching for customer data, you may encounter a client who is ready to buy a coffee printer right away. Earnings from such a sale will be from 10,000 rubles.

How does a coffee printer work?
This is a type of food printer and is not much different from an inkjet printer. Food colors or coffee extract are used to print images.
It is advisable to print drawings only on a light-colored surface of the drink. Coffee with milk foam (for example, latte) is suitable for this. On a dark surface, the image simply will not be visible.
The coffee printer has unique software. It includes a set of images. Some models allow you to upload your own sketch. With their help, you can create unique drawings and even photographs on coffee foam.
Cooking method:
- Brew coffee.
- Select a drawing in the program.
- Place the container with the drink on a special tray.
- Play print. The corresponding button is responsible for this.
The printer will take 10-20 seconds to print the image.

Description
Cafe Maker is a new model in the food printer segment. With its help, you can apply a design to the foamed surface of a drink or a small cake in a matter of seconds.
In essence, the technology used is an inkjet printer of a specialized format, created for printing with food dyes on specific objects.
Cafe Maker can print in monochrome mode - one ink, or a set of three - blue, red and yellow.
Refilling the printer
Before you start working with the coffee printer, you must make sure that there is dye inside the cartridge and, if necessary, refill it.
If you have ever refilled cartridges for inkjet printers, the process will seem familiar: a certain amount of dye is poured into a sealed container using a syringe - slowly to avoid the formation of an air lock.
Ready-to-use cartridges are placed inside the coffee printer on a carriage: on the right is a cartridge for printing with one ink, on the left is for printing in three colors.
Preparing for printing
The next step: installing the driver and application for creating, preparing and sending images for printing. The included software can run on any laptop or tablet running Windows.
BY
We launch the CupShow application, it comes with the printer. You can select an image for printing from the built-in library or upload your own. Another option is to make an inscription. But the most interesting option is the ability to send your own photos for printing.
Printing Features
What surfaces can a coffee printer print on? If we talk about liquids, it can be any drink with dense foam, such as cappuccino, latte, milkshake or beer.
Container requirements: The glass or cup cannot be transparent. Their height should range from 8.5 to 18 centimeters, and their diameter cannot exceed 11 centimeters.
If the printer determines the top edge of the drink container on its own - there is a sensor built inside, then you will have to set the diameter of the container in the CupShow application.
Seal
Place the glass or cup on the platform and press the button on the front surface. The button acts as an indicator: in standby mode it lights up yellow, and during printing or if there is a failure it starts blinking.
It takes 10 to 20 seconds to print one design, from pressing the button to returning the platform.
You can also apply the image to baked goods. A good option is a cake or cookie with light icing.
However, no one is stopping you from experimenting. The main thing: the surface must be fairly flat and be at a height of no less than 8.5 and no more than 18 centimeters from the platform. For example, we used an upside down cup as a stand for printing on cookies.
The family of food 3D printers - Foodini, PancakeBot, Chocola3D, Choc Creator - continues to grow. Coffee printer Cafe Maker
can be an excellent help in the work of a small bakery, coffee shop or workshop for the production of exclusive baked goods.

What do you think? Let's discuss in the comments!
Coffee printer
An original and skillfully executed design on coffee is perceived by many as a sign of the barista’s skill, and sometimes they pay no less attention to it than to the taste of the coffee. This highlight, although it does not have much practical significance, still often makes us smile, and can even be very touching. True, not every barista is capable of creating complex masterpieces using coffee foam. And now high technology comes to his aid, namely a 3D printer, which allows him to realize any design on coffee, elevating this cute twist to the rank of real art.
The machine, called Ripple Maker, combines 3D printing and inkjet technology to create a variety of images on the surface of coffee. The printing is done using a natural coffee extract called Ripple Pods, which is dispensed from small holes. No artificial colors are used.
The Ripple Maker coffee printer connects via Wi-Fi to a library of designs represented by text, simple images, faces and a wide variety of other images. There are already hundreds of designs in the library, and new designs are constantly uploaded to the cloud in real time. After the barista selects a design, liquid foam with the selected image is poured into the cup within 10 seconds. Ripple's dedicated smartphone app allows you to upload your own designs directly to the library. The client can even upload a photo from his smartphone camera to the library. The image can be edited, scaled, applied filters and added text.
The creator of the new product was the Israeli design studio SteamCC. The Ripple Maker device is of particular interest to companies and brands, because for them it is an innovative marketing tool and a unique opportunity to post advertising content or please their customers with an individual inscription or picture on their coffee.
The Ripple Maker retails for $999 (plus a $75 annual maintenance fee), but is currently only available to commercial establishments that offer coffee to their customers. The new startup has already won its first famous customer: Lufthansa, which now offers its first and business class passengers coffee with the airline's logo. This is just one example of how companies can creatively use innovation to their advantage. The Ripple Maker coffee printer can be a good investment for large companies, restaurants, specialty coffee shops and coffee shops that will be able to implement a new, yet simple and effective marketing strategy that works with every cup of coffee ordered.
