Arfé is the creation of artworks by staining with coffee.[1]

The term may have been coined by Puerto Rican artist, Francisco Rivera Rosa, describing his paintings of using coffee. The word comes from a combination of the words art and café. Thus, arfé is a portmanteau. It is sometimes spelled arfe and pronounced like "barf" by its critics. This art is also known as simple as 'Coffee Painting' or 'Coffee Art'.

Artists Mira Chudasama & Amita Chudasama, Andrew Saur and Angel Sarkela-Saur also paint with coffee.
