It's Time Baristas Got Their Due
Every day, baristas turn milk into magic, one perfect pour at a time. MILKLAB is made with baristas, so this year we're doing something for baristas: putting $10,000 in the hands of one deserving barista or café, every single month.
No fine print, no gimmicks, just Australia's greatest tip, going to Australia's greatest talent. Find out this month's theme, and show us what you've got, get creative!
This Month's Theme
Every month brings a new theme to bring to life in your video. Film it, post it, tag it, and you could be this month's $10,000 winner.
THIS MONTH’S THEME: MILKLAB LACTOSE FREE
Show us how you bring MILKLAB Lactose Free to life behind the machine. From silky pours and latte art to signature creations and customer favourites, we want to see your creativity flow.
Not sure where to start? Try one of these:
- Show off your signature MILKLAB Lactose Free creation, whether it’s a coffee, matcha or something totally your own.
- Share your best steaming or pouring tips for creating silky microfoam with MILKLAB Lactose Free.
- Film a satisfying latte art pour, from the first swirl to the final reveal.
- Capture a customer’s reaction to their favourite drink made with MILKLAB Lactose Free.
- Take us through a day behind the machine, with MILKLAB Lactose Free as the star of your orders.
- Introduce us to a regular who always orders lactose free and tell us what makes their coffee ritual special.
- Create a fun, unexpected recipe that shows MILKLAB Lactose Free beyond the flat white.
However you bring it to life, make it creative, authentic and unmistakably MILKLAB Lactose Free.
