NESCAFÉ DOLCE GUSTO BRINGS NEW YORK BARISTA AND FAMOUS COFFEE ARTIST, MICHAEL BREACH TO SOUTH AFRICA  


Internationally renowned, New York based coffee artist and barista Michael Breach will soon be showcasing his incredible talent on South African shores in June thanks to an exclusive collaboration with NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto.

Growing in popularity, coffee art is rapidly becoming an expected element of coffee appreciation. Nowadays, no flat white, cappuccino or latte is seen as complete without some form of embellishment, be it a heart motif, leaf pattern or if the barista is really good, perhaps some kind of a figurative element. No one knows this better than internationally acclaimed ‘fine art coffee portraiture artist’ Michael Breach. Michael is widely lauded as the Da Vinci of coffee art, a barista with an ability to perfectly capture people’s faces with his amazing portraiture, by creating images using a toothpick to stroke the coffee cream into the crema or foam in the cup.

The self-described “barista to the stars” creates realistic celebrity portraits of the likes of Kurt Cobain, Leonardo Di Caprio and Romeo and Juliet which he calls “Foameo and Juliet”. Michael’s unique talent has taken him all over the world and soon he’ll be landing on South African shores.  

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto has a range of award winning capsule-based machines that allow you to create up to 11 different hot and cold, coffee, tea and hot chocolate beverages, “I’m excited and honoured to be invited by Dolce Gusto to South Africa and my first time on the African continent. I look forward to attempting to draw South African icons and landmarks. A definite will be the face of the famous statesman, Nelson Mandela and Table Mountain. I look forward to meeting everyone at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town” says Michael Breach.

“NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is one of the most innovative brands in the marketplace and therefore it gives us great pleasure to have Michael in South Africa for the ultimate collaboration between coffee, art and design” comments Grant Phillips, Nestlé Beverages Business Executive Manager.




To celebrate his visit to South Africa, Breach will be creating portraits of South African celebrities, iconic landmarks and local animals. To experience coffee in a totally new way, visit the pop up café at the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town from 17 -30 June 2014 for a free café style coffee. To see Michael showcase his unique talent he will be at the pop up café from 26 - 30 June 2014. The pop up café will open between 9am and 4pm.  

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is an official partner of the World Design Capital 2014.
