Hit the milk foam to get the best milk foam operation guide, why will the milk bubble?

No matter what kind of flower, a high-quality espresso (Italian concentrate) and a smooth milk foam (foamed milk) are essential.

① Espresso coffee maker

Many household espresso coffee machines have the function of steam foaming. Milk foam can be made directly by this machine or by manual beating milk cup. This article will introduce the method of steam foaming.

② coffee cup

Cappuccino cups are usually used. For ease of operation, beginners recommend using coffee cups with a larger caliber.

③ jacquard cup

The flower cup actually comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and thickness, but you should usually choose a flower cup that uses several times the amount of milk. The shape of the cup mouth will affect the flow shape of the milk, and the thickness of the cup body will also affect the temperature felt by the cup holder's hand. Therefore, it is recommended to use the same flower cup all the time, so that the skill will be improved steadily.

a. Make espresso:

The standard quantity of a single espresso is usually 30ml, and the amount of coffee powder required is about 10g for a single serving and 20g for a double serving. After the coffee powder is ready, you can start the semi-automatic Italian coffee machine for espresso to extract.

b. Make milk bubbles:

① first opens the steam nozzle once to remove the residual water vapor from the nozzle.

② inserts the steam nozzle deep into the milk in the flower cup and turns on the steam. When the steam is ejected, slowly move the nozzle up to a shallower position in the milk to increase contact with air.

When the ③ is almost complete, push the nozzle deeper down again to adjust the overall fine density of the foam.

After ④ foaming is finished, tap the bottom of the cup on the table a few times, or pour it into another jar to remove the larger bubbles. Then gently shake the flower cup around the circle to make the overall texture of the foam uniform.

-Tip: you should pay attention to foam.

Whole milk is recommended for ◇ milk. The flavor of low-fat or skim milk is not mellow enough and the foaming state may not be good enough.

◇ a traditional cappuccino, usually the ratio of espresso to warm milk and milk foam is 1:1:1, so 30ml's espresso needs to be paired with about 60ml warm milk and milk foam. However, the cappuccino needs to fill the entire coffee cup, so the proportion of milk and foam should be slightly increased according to the actual capacity of the coffee cup. If it is a coffee cup of the size shown in the picture, a single espresso (30ml) is recommended to make milk foam with 120ml-150ml milk.

◇ uses refrigerated milk for foaming, because the milk will gradually heat up during the steam foaming process, and if the initial temperature is too high, the foaming quality will be poor.

The milk foamed by ◇ should be dense, delicate and glossy. If the thickness of the foam is different, it will not be able to draw a contrasting pattern, nor can it be well integrated with espresso, which will eventually affect the overall taste.

When ◇ steam foams, if the steam nozzle is always close to the surface of milk, it is easy to produce too large milk foam, which is not conducive to the uniformity of texture. Therefore, it is also important to properly adjust the height of the steam nozzle in the milk.
