Crema (coffee oil) on coffee flower effect

Today, I would like to explain to you the effect of Crema on flower pulling. The left and right cups of coffee in the photo use the same amount of milk, coffee and foam quality. The only difference is that they use different coffee beans.

On the left is dark roasted coffee beans, Crema will be darker and thicker. Relatively speaking, if it is used to pull flowers, the color contrast of the pattern will be very obvious and clear.

On the right is medium light roast coffee beans, Crema color will be lighter and thinner. If it is used to pull flowers, the pattern will appear fuzzy and the lines will not be clear enough.

So Crema is actually an important factor in pulling flowers, but this is only discussed from the perspective of pulling flowers. If you want to talk about taste, it depends on personal preferences ~

Our coffee beans are medium and dark roasted beans, which taste a little floral and fruit acid. We hope to bring guests a different feeling and concept, because most of the guests have a bitter concept of coffee.

Relatively speaking, our coffee beans are easier to pull flowers, because we will still use our greatest ability and technology to present a perfect cup of coffee to everyone.

latte-art is a pattern made with milk on a cappuccino or latte. There are many techniques to pull flowers, mainly divided into: by controlling the height of the milk pot and shaking range of free-hand pull flowers (Free Pour); using toothpicks or thermometers and other sharp objects, with milk foam or sauce painting flowers (Etching) two kinds. This time, Nigel, the owner of Coquettish Coffee, is here to give you a demonstration.

Drawing materials and tools

To make coffee, of course, there must be coffee! Coffee should be espresso made from an espresso machine, or mocha pot if not available, or chocolate instead. Milk should be whole milk with protein and fat content of 3-4%. The higher the fat content, the more stable the foam, but too high has the opposite effect. When milk is heated, the protein forms a thin film to encase the air, forming bubbles floating on the milk surface. The higher the protein content of milk, the easier it is to foam, and the bubbles are finer and denser. A cup of ordinary heated milk, can not be used to pull flowers, we need to Italian coffee machine steam wand, while heating the bubbles into the milk. Beginners should choose a single stomata, because the less the rod head stomata, the slower the steam, easier to control. If not available hand milk bubble pot or electric milk stick, but the effect is difficult to master. Milk jugs are generally available in 350cc or 600cc steel jugs, and you can choose different sizes to match the weight of the production. Also need toothpicks or thermometers to draw flowers, and semi-wet towels to clean steam sticks.

Milk first, then flower.

To pull out beautiful patterns, milk must be dense, microfoam (Microfoam), to hit such as velvety thick and smooth, reflective surface, in order to pull out complex patterns. Too much foam, too big, or foam and milk do not blend, can not pull flowers.

How to make a good foam?

First pour about 175-200cc of frozen milk (about 4oC, preferably fresh from the refrigerator) into a 350cc jug, preferably 1/3 of the jug. Then start the steam wand for a few seconds to drain the water from the wand. Put the nozzle into the milk as long as it is just covered by milk flour. Do not put it too deep and deviate from the center point. After discharging, start the steam wand to start gas injection. If you see a beautiful vortex and hear a clear "squeak" sound, it means that the position is correct. When the foam starts, gently move the jug downward to keep the nozzle on the surface of the milk. Foaming is recommended not to exceed 25%. When foaming is complete, raise the milk jug a little and insert the nozzle deep into the milk to continue creating the swirl. This action is to break down the large bubbles into dense microbubbles and heat the milk to 60-65 ° C. Lactose in milk is heated to produce sweetness, if more than 75 ° C will be burned, sweetness and stability are reduced. Remove the steam wand and immediately clean with a semi-moist towel.

Basic gestures for pulling flowers

Pull flower stress gestures and pour milk speed stability, can start from the basic heart pattern. Load first? Tilt the coffee cup and pour the milk into the deepest center. When pouring, pull up the milk jug to create a high and thin water column. At the same time, mix the milk and coffee in a circular motion. When the cup is four minutes full, lower the milk pot, the nipple as close as possible to the coffee surface, then the milk bubble flow will slow down, you can use the wrist to gently shake the milk pot left and right until the cup is 90 percent full, pull the milk pot high so that the milk column is young and push forward at the same time, forming a heart pattern. If the coffee surface turns white at the beginning of pouring milk, it means that the milk foam is too thick or too thick, so practice beating milk again.
