Can cappuccino coffee pull flowers?

Many Hong Kong guests and students have asked me this question: can I pull flowers when I am a cappuccino?

In Hong Kong, most of them... Or it could be all... Or a minority... People who know a little about coffee think

If the correct cappuccino (milk to foam ratio 1:1) milk foam will be a lot of very thick, then it will be more difficult to make flower

If you really want to pull, you may only have to pull some relatively simple patterns (eg. Heart)

If you go to a coffee shop and order the flowers on cappuccino, it is very complicated.

Then it's not cappuccino! At least I used to think so.

Also heard a friend say: no, it means "latte" art, not "cappuccino" art!

But a few years ago, I used to watch Taiwanese pull-flower movies, most of which read:

Leaf pull flower in card / swan pull flower in card / double leaf pull flower … Clover in cabbage

If you understand it correctly... That cloth must be cappuccino. (if latte = latte) = _ = "

At that time, I thought, why can Boo Boo pull three leaves? Isn't the milk foam very thick?

At that time, I thought to myself: the proportion of Taiwan-style cloth milk foam should be relatively small, otherwise how to pull-mouth -?

But if even Taiwan coffee master friends say so, it should not be a lie, is it?

After that, it took a long time to study how to beat the milk foam that could be pulled on the cloth.

The end result is.

You can pull more difficult flowers on cloth, but they are not young enough compared with latte.

If you can't do it, it's just a technical problem of milking. Why do you say that?

It's the fusion degree of milk and foam that I often talk about. It's hard to know.

To put it simply, the amount of milk foam and the thickness of milk foam are two different things.

The foaming amount of milk foam can be a lot, but it can be very fine and dense, so it is relatively "sparse".

On the contrary... The amount of foam is very small, but the milk foam can be very rough, it will feel very "solid", so it will be very difficult to pull flowers.

To borrow a word from a friend, the secret of making cloth dense is to achieve "the ultimate integration of milk and foam".

The following is a demonstration film of the foaming amount of milk and foam at 1:1, and finally you can see the proportion after the milk and foam are separated.

Don't tell your friends that a well-made cloth can't pull flowers.
