"Free Pour Latte Art latte pull" barista advanced technology pull flower textbook recommendation

If you like lattes, you probably don't like black coffee much. It's a lot cheaper to make your own latte, and it's not difficult to imagine. This simple latte mixes espresso and steamed milk to create a sipping milk paradise.

Espresso can also affect success or failure, but this article mainly teaches you how to make milk bubbles. As long as you master the method of beating milk bubbles, you can move forward to the basic flower drawing and create your own design.

To make coffee drinks with steamed milk, you need a coffee maker, steam sticks and foam pots for business, as well as your favorite milk, espresso and round cups.

Keep it clean.

Wash the steam stick every time you finish using it. First try a few times on the surface of the milk to avoid particles in the steam pipe, but you'd better be careful. Hot steam can hurt people from a foot away, so adjust the angle to keep the danger away from you.

Steam

Pour the milk into the milk bubble pot, do not exceed the spout, start the steam stick, sink the steam stick into the bottom of the kettle and then pull it up. You will hear a few hisses, but if you pull too high, there will be a big bubble and a violent hiccup.

Lean the bubble pot to yourself so that you can look inside. Milk should spin steadily. In a film produced by coffee machine sales website Whole Latte Love, people are advised to lower the bubble pot and lift it up as the temperature rises to allow the steam stick to hit deeper.

Once the milk reaches 60 murmur80 degrees, the steam bar can be turned off. Some baristas know the temperature by touching it, while others listen to the tone of the steam to determine the temperature. You might as well do an experiment with a clip thermometer first, which will be more accurate.

The milk bubble pot knocks on the table a few times, the big milk bubble will be swept away, the milk bubble will be more detailed. If the steam stick does not sink to the bottom of the kettle, the hot milk and foam will not invade the river water, and it will be even more difficult to pull flowers.

It is easiest to pull flowers in a round cup. First pour the espresso into the bottom of the cup, then add a small amount of steamed milk and keep turning to blend. The skill of pouring milk into a cup is nothing more than speed and the height from the cup. Remember to pour milk steadily and slowly at a fairly high place, which helps to continue the fusion of milk and coffee. I suggest circular pouring. Let the milk and coffee mix well.

The following video provided by Whole Latte Love shows the steps of drawing flowers in its entirety. Quickly turn to 1:10 for a detailed explanation. In the film, the barista advises quenching espresso before heating milk, which is more convenient for drawing flowers, but also prepare hot milk quickly to retain the best flavor of espresso. After all, after making espresso, it will become bitter after only 10 to 20 seconds. As for other new techniques, it's up to you to try and find out what works best for you.

Pull flowers

When the milk is almost half full, put the bubble pot close to the cup, and then instead of mixing coffee and milk, you need to distinguish between white foam and latte. Start pulling from the farthest place from yourself, pour the foam into the cup, pull the bubble pot out of the white circle toward yourself, and immediately pull the bubble pot in the opposite direction, and the circle is instantly "cut" into love. The Lafa of the leaves is the same, except that the Z shape is drawn first, and then the branches of the leaves are "cut".
