How many kinds of lattes do you have? The simplest pattern of coffee flowers-peach heart

Along the way, some coffee books or the Internet have recorded two methods of milking.

One. Blistering first and then fusion

Two. Blistering and fusion take place at the same time

I chose the latter, because the foam fusion degree of method 2 is much higher than that of method 1.

If you want to see the demonstration of method one, you can see it by going to the stars and Taiping

Tips: (it is recommended for beginners to use thermometers)

The amount of milk-it is recommended that the amount of milk should be above 1pm 4 and below 1pm 3 of Pitcher.

The amount of foam that bubbles... The demonstration is Latte, and the recommended foaming amount is 1 / 4 of milk.

For example, there is 8oz milk, milk foam should have 2oz, and finished products should have 10oz.

If it is a Cappuccino, the foaming volume should be more than 1 pound 3.

How do you know how many bubbles have formed? It's really hard to explain. It's all experience.

After playing Latte 100 times, you must know that you have no money to buy milk? You can practice with detergent and water.

The temperature before the milk starts. It will be easier to master when it is cold, and you can take it out of a normal 4-7oC refrigerator and use it.

The temperature after the milk is finished. The rule of WBC (World Barista Competition) is 60-65oC.

The common temperature in Europe is around 60oC, and the common 55oC in Australia (I think it's better to drink)

The demonstration is to sell business to "Hong Kong customers" (that is, American style), who ask for 65-75oC (so the smoke is on camera).

I will write about the effect of milk temperature on taste and taste in another teaching article.

You can start when you are ready. Let the steam go first. Before the steam stick starts, it should be completely into the milk. The steam stick should be fully opened.

Instead of rushing to bubble, use a steam stick to find a place where milk can flow in a whirlpool.

Left-handed or right-handed rotation has no effect on the completion of the product, in short, it is to turn, as to how to make the vortex spin.

As everyone's method is different, you have to find it yourself. Try it with water first. Don't start milking if the whirlpool can't rise.

After the vortex rises, it begins to foam slowly, in a dense and slight way (very low sound but very high frequency).

The steam should be turned off before the recommended temperature, because after turning off the steam, the milk will rise by about 5oC.

If what you want is 60oC, it will be shut down in 55oC.

In particular, it is generally believed that there is not enough milk foam to beat the water.

Personally, I think this is wrong. Even if the foaming volume exceeds 1x3 (cappuccino), you can still beat the water.

This is the problem of the degree of fusion. If the degree of fusion is high, there will be balanced foam at the top or bottom of the finished product.

If you use a transparent cup to pull flowers, you can see that if the degree of fusion is high, it will take a long time for milk and foam to be separated.

In this way, it takes a long time to pull some difficult patterns, and in the end, milk bubbles come out.

On the contrary, if the degree of fusion is low, the milk foam will soon float on the upper layer, and the flowers will be pulled, but not very carefully.

And after the coffee is finished, even if you drink it immediately, it will not be easy to drink there. I believe no one likes the feeling of drinking milk and foam separately (starxxxx?).

You can use a transparent cup to test the fusion of your own foam.

I don't have an accurate calculation, but based on my previous Cabrera demonstration

It is about 1 minute after the flower pull, you can see that the milk and foam begin to separate slowly.

The beginners of the above article may be more difficult to understand, forgive me that the expression ability of the words is not very good.

If you have any questions about playing milk foam, you can raise them here.
