Ripples Coffee Experience

The Ripples Coffee Experience

Custom Coffee Foam Printing • Minneapolis & Twin Cities

👉 Yes, this is that coffee printer you saw on Instagram. And yes, we do it better.

We were the first to bring this to Minnesota events. Everyone else? Just trying to catch up.
Ripples printing turns your latte into a branded moment, a wedding keepsake, or a viral selfie magnet — printed in real time, right on the foam.

If you’re planning an event in Minneapolis, St. Paul, or anywhere in the Twin Cities, this is the upgrade you didn’t know you needed.


Logos, Faces, Even Your Dog — On a Latte

QR codes on the cart let guests snap a pic, upload it, and get it printed on their drink.
Or skip the tech and let us preload your logo, initials, or tagline. Either way, we’ve got the visuals covered.

We use real, plant-based colors — reds, purples, even yellow — from ingredients like black carrot and cabbage (yeah, for real). No fake dyes. No weird aftertaste. Just bold designs and espresso that hits.


Why It Works

  • Instant Wow Factor: You hand someone a drink with their face on it… come on. That’s unforgettable.
  • Branding Without Banners: Put your logo in their hand — and on their camera roll.
  • Weddings, Trade Shows, VIP Events: From romantic initials to your company’s next launch, this scales up or down.
  • No App Needed: Guests scan, upload, done. It’s magic in under 10 seconds.

Perfect For…

  • Corporate events where branding actually matters
  • Weddings that want a flex moment without being cheesy
  • Trade shows where you need to pull foot traffic
  • Private parties where the drinks double as content

Still Debating It?


We’re not a kiosk with a latte machine — we’re a full café setup with a built-in crowd pleaser.
We roll in ready to crush a 200-person rush and still have time to print your dog’s face on a cappuccino.

Licensed, insured, and fully loaded. We print it right, or we don’t print at all.
