How to get milk foam?

First, several steps of milking

The first step is to understand the correct operation flow of the coffee machine steam system, understand the purpose of the empty steam pipe before and after foam, and understand the importance of towels and handy cleaning in coffee making.

The second step is how to use the sprinkler to contact the milk surface, the location and depth of the selected point.

The third step is to recognize the two temperatures. One is the starting and ending temperature of foaming, and the other is the temperature at which the milk foam is made. These two temperatures are very important, which is directly related to the mastery of the principle of foam. First of all, when it comes to foaming, the milk is cold at first (preferably refrigerated at 5 ℃), which can prolong the foaming time and determine the fineness of the foam, and then open the steam valve to foam the milk. When the cylinder wall is the same as our human body temperature (feel neither hot nor cold), the foaming is cut off.

Extend the steam nozzle to the bottom of the bottle and continue to heat until it feels hot, but if you can stand it for two or three seconds, stop heating (the back end of the heating feels very hot on the hand, but you can hold it).

It can also be measured with a thermometer, but it is best not to use it. This process requires people to understand and understand it attentively, and it is not very good for the improvement of technology with the help of external forces.

The fourth step, the cylinder mouth of the flower cylinder must be lifted, and the cylinder block should be tilted according to the rotation direction of the milk foam.

The fifth step is to find the vortex. The function of the vortex is to pull the coarse foam below the liquid surface through the vortex and gradually turn it into a small bubble to make the surface clean. There are many kinds of vortices. If you want to have a vortex, the sprinkler of the steam pipe should not go too deep under the milk surface.

The sixth step, the problem of the downward and upward movement of the flower cylinder. The sprinkler has a good contact with the milk noodles, that is, open the steam valve, and then you will slowly move down the vat, and you will hear the sound of steam and milk "shearing", commonly known as "air intake". The sound of air intake to the temperature of the human body can no longer appear, otherwise, there will be a lot of coarse foam on the surface. At this point, move the flower cylinder up a little bit (just a little bit, which is important, which is understood by many people to keep moving up, which is very wrong), and let the steam sprinkler away from the cutting surface so that you can't hear the sound of "hiss". At this point, by adjusting the angle of the vat, remember that it is the angle, not the position of the sprinkler and the surface (very small angle adjustment), find the vortex, pull the coarse foam off the surface in the foaming stage, and continue until the temperature reaches the hot temperature.

Step 7: how to deal with milk foam

Shake so that the hot milk in the lower layer is fully mixed with the upper foam to form foam. This step can also be achieved by inverting two jars back and forth (don't be in a high position when two jars fall down, which will stir up more bubbles).

Step 8, before pulling flowers, the milk foam has been shaking in the flower jar to avoid the stratification caused by this to appear again, which is a professional habit.

Steps to foam at home:

The way to beat the foam by hand:

1, milk powder: 100ML hot water + 2 spoons of milk powder, be sure to use hot water to wash the milk powder, milk cold can not make milk foam, in addition, the amount of milk powder is not too much!

2, pour the washed milk powder into the manual beating cup, do not need to twitch too much, lest the milk foam is too hard, about 30 times, too much twitching will lead to the milk foam too hard, unable to pull flowers

3. After milking, put the filter screen on the flower cup and pour the milk foam into the flower cup. This has three advantages: 1) filter the large milk foam with the milking strainer; 2) make the foam and milk mix evenly; 3) filter out the excess hard milk foam.

4. Shake the flower cup on the table a few times, break the big milk bubble, and you can begin to pull flowers.
