Coffee knowledge-how to use machine steam pipe to make milk foam

Caffe' Latte with milk and coffee is Italian, but the drink was not invented by the old sense. The origin of lattes can be traced back to the war between the Ottoman Empire of Turkey and Vienna. When Mohammed IV's Muslim army besieged Vienna in 1683, the war was urgent. Christians trapped in Vienna decided to ask Poland for help, but they had to find a Turkish-speaking messenger before they could hide it from the Turkish army outside the city. Fanz George Kolschitsky, a Viennese who had done business in Turkey for many years, volunteered to fight. He cheated the enemy in fluent Turkish and swam across the Danube to ask the king of Poland for help. The army of Christ arrived in Vienna and drove the Turks away.

The Turkish army retreated in panic but left behind large quantities of supplies, including gold, cattle, horses and camels, as well as dozens of sacks of coffee beans. At that time, the Viennese did not know what the coffee in the sack was and thought it was feed for livestock, so no one paid any attention to the inconspicuous coffee beans, but Kochsky moved all the coffee beans because he had lived in Turkey and knew how to make a lot of money from coffee beans.

So he opened a Blue bottle Cafe (Blue Bottle). At first he made coffee in exactly the unfiltered way of the Turks, but Viennese were not used to drinking Turkish coffee with coffee powder and thick charred coffee. Kochsky had an idea to filter out the coffee grounds with cloth and add milk and honey to become a new refreshing drink that was very popular among Viennese. It was also the first time that milk was combined with coffee, around the end of the 17th century to the beginning of the 18th century. At that time, technology was not enough to invent high-pressure steam foam equipment, but Kochisky's idea of coffee with milk also gave coffee a more expensive way to drink, making it the ancestor of today's Caffe' Latte.

The Blue bottle Cafe has also become the most classic coffee shop in Europe, with many painters using it as a painting genre. Vienna also treasures a number of pictures of the painter Kochsky entertaining guests, which shows how popular the Blue bottle Cafe was at that time.

Latte Coffee because latte means fresh milk in Italian. In the English world, it generally refers to coffee brewed with hot fresh milk. The French word lait is synonymous with the Italian word latte, which means milk. Latte Coffee, the so-called coffee with milk, is usually translated directly as "latte".

Latte type Italian latte coffee

Italian lattes (Caff è Latte) require a small cup of Espresso and a cup of milk (150ml). Lattes contain more milk and less coffee, which is very different from Cappuccino. The latte is as simple as pouring nearly boiling milk into a freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk is added, and it can be freely mixed according to individual taste.

If you add some frothy cold milk to the hot milk, it becomes an American latte. Starbucks American lattes are made in this way, with espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 65 ℃ in the middle, and cold milk foam of no more than half a centimeter.

If you do not put hot milk, but directly decorate two tablespoons of milk foam on the Italian espresso, it becomes the Machi Hadot coffee called Espresso Macchiato by the Italians.

The French are the most enthusiastic proponents of Ole Coffee. You will see the round Orei Cup on the breakfast table in France, which is the source of their good mood for the day.

Interestingly, compared with all the coffee cups, the cup used by the French to hold Ole coffee is probably the largest.
