The problem of coffee flower drawing

Why is the milk foam not fused?

The moment the foam is poured into the coffee is combined with each other, and there is no way for the foam to float like in some pull-flower videos, and the surface looks thicker. The reason may be that you don't have enough foam or are not fully mixed with milk.

2 can the milk from the manual milking machine be used to pull flowers?

The answer is yes, some coffee flowers actually do not rely on machine-made milk bubbles, manual milk bubbles need to rest for 30 seconds, the purpose of static is to let the bubbles float up, and then scrape the large bubbles away, leaving uniform and delicate milk bubbles. In this way, we can make lace coffee.

How can I mix the milk well?

There are two aspects that are more important. the first is the temperature. when you hit the foam, you will stop heating when you feel that the jar is hot. Too high temperature will cause the foam to be harder and lighter. When you pull flowers, the foam will float on it to form a big white spot. The second is the time, the milk foam can not be placed for a long time, the density of the milk bubble is smaller than the milk, so the foam will float on it for a long time, and it is relatively hard.

Skills of Coffee flower drawing

1. The quality of foam foaming will determine the success of flower drawing to the greatest extent. Good foam fluidity is very good, when shaking the vat horizontally, the milk and foam do not gather in the middle to form an upward bulge, but form a downward depression in the middle. After shaking horizontally, the foam is very shiny and feels as smooth as silk. This kind of milk foam, you just need to pour it into the coffee from top to bottom, it's easy to pour out your heart.

2. Shake the coffee liquid before flower drawing, which helps to make the color of the coffee uniform. After the coffee is extracted, the color above is often different, and there will be dark and light situations. For example, when there are several different colors, if the milk is poured directly into the coffee, the surface of the coffee liquid will eventually appear in different colors, making the coffee ugly. The solution is to pour the coffee liquid into the milk, shake the coffee liquid horizontally, pour the coffee evenly, and then pour in the milk. After the color of the coffee becomes consistent, it looks a lot better.

3. The reason for the formation of flowers lies in the distance between milk and coffee liquid. Flowers are formed because the foam floats on the coffee liquid and blossoms. If we pour the milk into the coffee, the distance between the milk and the coffee liquid is not enough, the impact is not strong, it is inevitable that the milk foam will float directly on the coffee liquid, then the result is that the coffee is not full. The solution is to first increase the distance between the milk and the coffee, use the impact to inject the milk into the coffee liquid, and when the coffee reaches half a cup, sink the milk tank, so that the milk foam can float on the surface of the coffee liquid, and the milk coffee is finished.
