[Flower Video Appreciation] Coffee Flower Tips and Operation Order Introduction

Pulling flowers and carving are collectively referred to as milk pulling art (Latte Art). The former is to pour hot milk into espresso coffee while directly "pulling" patterns through technical movements such as wrist shaking, while the latter is to use chocolate sauce and other accessories, as well as toothpicks, spoons and other tools to do some carving work, so that the pattern is perfect. Pulling flowers is the foundation, carving is the auxiliary, pulling flowers is the test of technology, carving is the test of creativity, and an excellent barista must pay equal attention to pulling flowers and carving.

Milk pull flower this kind of skill that needs a lot of practice is a line of bar barista day after day accumulated "house-keeping unique skill." If improving speed, creating style, improving details, and enhancing beauty are topics that "milk pull masters" talk about, I often envy them today.

Learning how to pull milk requires five steps:

First, we need to choose a 600ml pull milk tank with a sharp mouth and about 200ml round mouth cappuccino cup, and ensure that it can extract excellent espresso(preferably using an Espresso coffee machine, because the richness of coffee fat is closely related to pull flowers), able to send out dense thick milk foam.

The second step is to practice wrist shaking first, which can be carried out with water instead of milk. Then practice precise control of flow and direction, which is still possible to replace milk with water and coffee with soy sauce-of course, to make a paste with coffee grounds to simulate the texture of espresso.

Step 3, practice the basic pattern presentation process, try to do practice makes perfect. Hearts and leaves are two basic milk patterns. The starting position is also different

Step 4: Use real milk and coffee to practice the basic pattern.

The fifth step, with the foundation of the fourth step, has become a qualified milk flower artist, and then said to further improve the technology.

Let's extract a cup of Espresso, then hold the coffee cup in one hand with the cup mouth slightly tilted inward, and hold the milk jar in the other hand. The milk jar should be about 10cm higher than the coffee cup, with the milk foam inside, and the cylinder body is slightly tilted, and the tip is facing forward to the coffee cup. Then we started the flower journey.

[Basic steps of drawing hearts]

1. Slowly inject the milk into the coffee, pay attention to grasp the height, do not destroy the coffee fat on the surface, the milk injection point determines the pattern and basic position of the flower grid, we choose the milk injection point can be a little bit behind the center point of the cup.

2. When the coffee and milk in the cup are close to 2/3 of the capacity, an irregular "white cotton" has appeared around the injection point. Lower the jar and drag it back over the edge of the coffee cup, pushing the resulting "white dough" forward to form a circular pattern.

3. Start shaking your wrist slightly in place, rocking the milk jar from side to side, so that fine layered lines appear and push outward like ripples of water. A multi-layered concentric circle pattern has basically emerged.

4. The coffee cup is gradually straightened, and at the same time, the milk tank is moved to the front point of the cup, so that the milk injected at this time is cut from the center point of the concentric circle until it reaches the front point of the coffee cup, which stops the milk pouring. The heart pattern is thus formed.

[Basic Steps for Pulling Flower and Leaf Pattern]

1. Pour the milk into the cup with Espresso. Be careful not to let the milk bubble float on the surface of the coffee at the beginning. Tilt the cup to the direction of the flower cylinder. When injecting, inject it from the center point.

2, when the coffee surface begins to have white phenomenon, increase the amount of milk poured, while shaking the flower cylinder will appear texture, at this time do not panic, continue to shake and increase the flow, slowly retreat.

3, after retreating to the edge of the cup, lift the flower cylinder, change to a small flow into the milk, and then withdraw a straight line forward, and stop pouring milk when you receive the leaf start.

4. A cup of leaf-shaped coffee is finished
