For professional baristas, please follow the coffee workshop (Wechat official account cafe_style)

During the National Day holiday, I do not know how many people are stuck on the highway, it is conceivable that even if they go to various scenic spots, there are almost many people.

However, our ku (bi) editor did not have a rest. Today, we will continue to give you a wonderful video to enjoy the flowers, so that the smooth and fluent milk "glider" will appease everyone's manic hearts.

No nonsense, let's start with an appetizer:

It's cool to see the embossed flower at once:

The combination of pull flowers also has a good look:

All right, it's time for us to answer again.

Question1: what is embossing?

Answer: embossing, also known as Japanese embossing, is a basic pattern in which milk uses fluidity to glide (glide) on coffee to form a big circle, which is almost covered with cup noodles (loving leaves, tulips, swans, etc.). The basic pattern has a good sense of lines and strong visual impact.

Question2: how to embosse?

Answer: one word blinds it and says: shake. But not to shake casually, but to shake regularly, rhythmically and aesthetically. Ahem ~ Don't get the wrong idea! In addition to shaking, there are fixed points and retreating time and rhythm to grasp, the fixed time can not retreat, when it is time to retreat at a uniform speed.

Question3: what does combination mean?

Answer: the combination is to achieve visual beauty by pulling out a combination of different basic patterns. To pull out more patterns in a cup of coffee, it is necessary to determine the overall pattern structure and the order of the patterns. Koreans especially prefer pattern combinations, so it is also known as Korean flower drawing.

Question 4: how to pull the combination pattern?

Answer: this is quite proficient in the structural outline and arrangement of the pattern. Usually, the structure of the pattern has been figured out before drawing flowers. Different from embossing, the combination pattern often needs to be delineated, paying attention to the location and symmetry of the landing point, and the timing of falling and receiving is also relatively high. My advice is to break down the pattern and practice several basic small patterns (such as wheat ears, swan heads, wings, be careful) and then put them together slowly.

Question 5: what is the difference between embossing and combination?

Answer: first of all, the thickness of milk foam. The foaming amount of embossing and combination is not the thinner the better, it should be based on your actual situation, such as the support of grease, the control of hands, etc. For example, the combination of bean blending / baking / extraction method / milk foaming / milk density / coffee and milk fusion / fusion height and so on. Generally speaking, the more strokes and lines in the pattern, the larger the size, the more bubbles are needed, and vice versa.

The second is the fusion degree. In fact, this has nothing to do with embossing or combination, but also has something to do with the size and complexity of your pattern. The larger the pattern, the less fusion is required, and the earlier the flower and the pattern is produced.

And finally, the milk tank. The round mouth type milk cylinder is suitable for embossing, with large flow and soft and round lines. The sharp-mouthed milk tank is suitable for the combination of patterns, with delicate and exquisite lines, which can be put in and out freely.

Finally, the advice to everyone is: don't give up basic exercises. It wasn't built in a day. If you want to show off your skills like those flower-pulling gods, you want to practice your basic skills well.
