Why is the drawing crooked? Symmetry pattern coffee pull flower technique sharing

The principle of coffeeart molding

There is a density difference between milk foam and fused coffee liquid. Light milk foam can float in the liquid surface with tension. After fusion, when milk foam is injected into the liquid surface, milk foam has a forward impact force and a downward impact force. Therefore, the smaller the angle between milk foam and liquid surface when pouring, that is, the smaller the distance between milk cylinder mouth and liquid surface, the easier it is to form, and the lines are easier to flow out and return after hitting the cup wall.

There are two ways to shorten the distance between the mouth of the milk jar and the liquid level. One is to tilt the cup so that the liquid in the cup is as close to the mouth as possible, and the other is to lower the milk jar.(Therefore, if you want to choose a larger milk tank for flower pulling, you can press the mouth of the milk tank to the maximum extent and get closer to the liquid level.) When pulling flowers, the amount of milk foam in the milk tank should not be too much. It should be divided into some, otherwise it is not easy to control. No matter whether you make a combination diagram or a single diagram, you must make the oil extraction and milk foam almost complete the drawing at the same time. This is the best state, and especially when you make a single diagram (such as embossing), the connection between the two should be very good. Don't wait for anyone.

on integration

First of all, it is the collision of two liquids, so what you have to think about is how to make the best combination between them, so the good fusion result is that the liquid surface is clean and shiny, the color is consistent, which is not only conducive to molding, but also tastes much better than when you blend at will. When Crema is in poor condition, you can increase the distance between fusion and reduce the flow size. Stir up the fat. Don't shake the coffee cup during fusion to avoid accelerating the separation of milk bubbles. Instead, let the milk in the milk tank have a slight left and right movement track during fusion to slow down the separation of milk bubbles. There is also a fixed-point fusion, but the premise is to have enough good espresso and milk foam texture, the advantage of fixed-point fusion is to have stronger contrast and cleanliness, the premise is not recommended to use, and the coffee surface taste is too strong.

The fusion method uses the left and right stirring method, and the height of the water flow during fusion is consistent. This is the personal favorite fusion method so far. It can do a good job of high efficiency fusion. The liquid surface is clean, and the combination of Espresso and milk foam is also very high.

Coffee fusion

When making a single picture, tilt the coffee cup, and when the liquid surface area fused into the cup is the largest, the picture can be drawn (usually 1/3 of the cup amount). The timing of the drawing determines the proportion of the pattern in the cup after molding. When making a composite diagram, you should blend a little more (at least 1/2 of the cup amount), so that the liquid surface has more support, and more fusion can not make the liquid surface so fluid, easier to make, and more fusion to make the picture can make the pattern cleaner, more white space, do not enter a misunderstanding that the combination of less fusion to leave more for the production of the latter pattern, this is counterproductive, not only the pattern is easy to float, but also to the end of the pattern production you will find, The flower shape made by the first action will be enlarged by the liquid surface at the end. When making the combination diagram, tilt the liquid surface where the diagram comes out, which is conducive to molding. When swinging the wheat ear, inject it for a while first, feel the milk bubble released and then start shaking. The rhythm of shaking and retreating should be coordinated well, so that the rhythm of drawing will come up.

Points to note when molding

When making a single picture, the rhythm of returning the cup is slow, and the liquid surface is close to the mouth of the cup from beginning to end, so the coordination of the left and right hands is required, so that not only the pattern is easier to form, but also the pattern is more tense when making a single picture. Turn the cup when making the combination diagram, try not to turn the milk jar. Therefore, the way to hold the cup should be correct, to ensure that the wrist can rotate flexibly, which side of the drawing is inclined to which side of the liquid surface, which is conducive to molding.

milk foam sloshing

(swing, swing frequency, flow size) to achieve flexible control (can suddenly before and after suddenly big and small suddenly fast and slow) shaking the center of gravity is the milk tank mouth part, not the tank body, shaking do not let the milk tank liquid upside down chaos sway, shake the line before continuing to inject a little while and then start rhythmic shaking, do not rush to shake, so as to avoid rhythm disruption and chaos sway. The process of single figure shaking is always close to the liquid surface, shaking along with the forward impact force of the water flow, and maintaining a consistent shaking rhythm (swing, swing frequency, flow size), to finish and then pull high and fine decisively forward.

On Symmetry of Simple Graph

When returning to the cup, pay attention not to use the wrist to return to the right, easy to tilt, should be to hold the cup as far as possible after the body tilt to return to the right, so that the pattern will have better symmetry, resulting in pattern asymmetry or tilt in the cup there are three reasons, one is the milk jar mouth is not perpendicular to the cup ear, one is holding the cup is crooked, one is holding the jar is crooked. The most important thing is to make the orientation of your milk jar mouth and the central axis of the inclined liquid surface consistent, so that the pattern can be guaranteed to be positive, but if the pattern is positive and the position in the cup is also positive, then it is necessary to make the orientation of the milk jar mouth perpendicular to the central axis of the cup ear, and the central axis of the inclined liquid surface is also perpendicular to the central axis of the cup ear.

Embossing experience

Grease is better, foam is better, impact force is enough to make the lines run. If you can't do it, don't ask me why the embossing is not good-looking. To be clean and good-looking, you have to spend more time practicing and understanding, to find the right point and soft swing. There are no more shortcuts.
