Now more and more people know about coffee and like coffee, and in the strong wind of the third wave of coffee, one boutique cafe after another has opened up the territory of individual coffee. However, it is understandable that espresso is still the mainstream of the coffee industry, and it can be predicted that Italian coffee will still occupy "more than half of the country" for a long time with the development of boutique coffee.

Then, as the "deep pain" of the single coffee industry, milk will still hold the position of the best "coffee partner" for a long time to come.

Many people like to drink coffee with milk, silky and full-bodied milk and coffee flavor multiply each other to add richness to the taste.

However, there are so many kinds of milk that people often ask the editor what kind of milk is suitable for coffee and flower drawing. Let's start with a detailed analysis:

Classified according to the source of dairy products:

Classified according to the milk fat content of dairy products:

All kinds of cream

Semi-fat cream has the lowest fat content, only 12%; low-fat cream has 20% fat content, and high-fat cream has 38%. The fat content of heavy cream is also 38%, but it is inflatable.

Semi-fat cream is actually equivalent to a low-sugar drink, for more sweet people, in order to give coffee enough sweetness and smooth taste, you may need to add more semi-fat cream. The cream itself tastes like custard or melted ice cream, even adding a small amount of cream to the coffee can make the coffee more delicious and fragrant.

Milk is often used in cafes, and its milk foam density, milk foam maintenance, sweetness, and taste mixed with coffee are compared in four aspects, in order to provide a more professional and objective reference for coffee practitioners, that is, lovers, when choosing different milk to make milk coffee.

Long-lasting Milk: Odeburg, Eyre Morninglight, Green Field Source, Nestle, Black and White Milk

Fresh Milk: Weigang, Meiji, Modern Ranch, Weipin, Weiquan, Yanshi Ranch

Baojiu milk for raw milk by high pressure sterilization or high temperature sterilization, the use of aseptic packaging, shelf life is 3-6 months, can be stored at room temperature.

Fresh milk is sterilized raw milk after cooling packaging, need to be refrigerated, shelf life is 5-7 days.

Which milk is best for lattes:

On the whole, the foam density of fresh milk is better than that of long milk.

The density of cotton in long milk is the best in Nestle whole milk, and the best in fresh milk is Meiji and Weiquan.

Combined with the composition table below, we can see that the milk with higher fat content has a relatively better foam density.

The sweetness of fresh milk is higher than that of long-lasting milk as a whole.

The sweetest milk in Baojiu is black and white light milk, and fresh milk is the only product.

Combined with the composition table below, we can see that milk with high carbohydrate content has relatively higher sweetness.

The foam maintenance of fresh milk is better than that of long-lasting milk, which is one of the reasons why fresh milk is selected in the international flower-pulling competition.

Lutianyuan and black and white milk are better maintained in Baojiu milk, and Weiquan is the best maintenance in fresh milk.

Composition:

When making milk coffee, we usually choose whole milk.

The first 5 are long-lasting milk and the last 6 are fresh milk. The fat content of long-lasting milk is concentrated between 3.4~3.6g/100g, while the fat content of fresh milk is as high as 3.8g.

The protein content of fresh milk is lower than that of preserved milk as a whole, and the content of carbohydrate is higher than that of preserved milk.

It is not listed in the table: the overall price of fresh milk is higher than that of permanent milk, and the transportation cost is higher.

Fresh milk is more integrated into coffee than long-lasting milk

Among the 11 kinds of milk, the one most integrated with coffee is flavored fresh milk.

Milk with higher protein content will have a stronger "milk flavor"; milk with higher protein and fat content will have a creamy flavor.

Highlights of questions and answers

Q: what kind of milk is more suitable for making milk coffee?

A: it depends on what kind of coffee you want to make. If you want to make "pull style", the performance of the more complex pattern, after the milk to maintain a good fluidity, the foaming rate of milk can not be too high.

If you want to make "traditional" milk coffee, you should choose milk with good foaming rate and milk foam density.

Some long-lasting milk will add other substances, there will be similar "cream", "milk sugar" taste, it is recommended to use non-added fresh milk to make milk coffee.

Q: if I choose medium and shallow baked beans, such as Yunnan and Yega Xuefei, to make milk coffee, what kind of milk can best highlight its flavor? What about medium and deep baked or mixed beans?

A: medium and shallow roasted coffee beans have higher acidity and less thick tail rhyme. Therefore, milk with high milk fat and high protein should not be chosen. Medium and deep roasted coffee beans can choose some milk with strong aftertaste and strong milk flavor to ensure the overall flavor of milk coffee.

Q: what kind of milk coffee is the perfect milk coffee?

A: it depends on your personal preference, and it also depends on different types of milk coffee. The "pull style" milk coffee is more supple and silky, while the traditional milk coffee is more elastic and the milk foam is more dense. As long as you choose milk and the production process to balance all aspects of the taste of milk coffee, it is a good cup of milk coffee.

Q: I like to drink milk coffee with sweet feet and dense milk bubbles. How can I choose milk?

A: milk with high carbohydrate content has a higher sweetness after being beaten. Milk with relatively high milk fat content has a better foam density, but some sweetness comes from additives, which is why we prefer fresh milk. no, no, no. Of course, coffee beans can also affect sweetness, and the way you spend them will affect the density and stability of the cotton.

The most suitable milk temperature: 6 5 ℃

High-quality dairy products, fat and protein tissue balance, in addition to the taste to give you the feeling of rich, followed by the clear distinction between milk and coffee.

65 degrees has hidden rules for dairy products, and drinking coffee is not as hot as possible. For a cup of coffee with milk, the entrance temperature should not exceed 75 degrees. How high is 75 degrees? It is completely impossible to enter, which will scald the taste buds. After the temperature exceeds about 75 degrees, the milk will no longer have a thick taste, because the fat and water have been separated and the lactose has been coked, so the coffee you drink will be hot coffee milk covered with a lot of thick foam.

Milk at a temperature of 65 degrees can best release sweetness and make the foam sticky, while stickiness can fully blend coffee and milk.

The best temperature for drinking coffee is about 65 degrees, which is warm but not hot. At this temperature, milk can release the most sweetness and make the foam produce a sticky taste. Stickiness can make coffee and milk blend fully. Even after this kind of coffee is cold, the taste does not change much, but the aroma is less, and the sweetness is more obvious.

Although milk plays a very important role, don't forget that it is still a cup of coffee after all, and the flavor of the coffee itself is the most important protagonist. So when you finish that cup of coffee, if what remains in your mouth is the taste of milk, or even no taste, it will lose the meaning of drinking coffee.
