Training materials for spaghetti coffee flower-drawing skills on milking

This is a comprehensive consideration in terms of cost and effectiveness. Just imagine, in order to practice making milk foam, we can't practice it all with milk, so no one can afford it. We have to consider the question of using substitutes for practice, so what materials are used for foam-beating exercises?

1, tableware detergent: this thing is the best practice, but also the most cost-saving. Just mix water into the vat and squeeze a drop of detergent to start the practice. This thing is the best choice to practice foaming, understand the principle of foaming, and practice foam control. When you can easily listen to the quality of the foam, you can try the following ways to strengthen the practice (when doing this exercise, ask barista friends to practice the basic techniques of making coffee flowers with water at the same time).

Tip: milk foam made with detergent should not be added to espresso to do exercises such as flower drawing, detergent is only used for foam practice.

2. Milk essence: the effect of milk foam produced by this product is also very good, similar to milk foam. The principles and methods learned by detergents can make very beautiful bubbles when applied to whipping essence. Milk foam made by cream can be used in espresso to practice drawing flowers and other products.

Tip: 1), first add water, then add powder, do not stir. 2) it is normal that there will be a little insoluble powder after beating. 3) pay attention to cleaning the sprinkler after practice.

(the effect of the product made of cream has already been mentioned before, so it will not be exposed here.)

3, Nestle milk with water: the amount of water is still at the mouth of the cylinder, add 1OZ or so milk, you can practice making milk foam. This kind of foam can be used to practice drawing flowers on espresso. The foam produced by the water with milk is not as thick as that from the cream, so it takes some skill to integrate with espresso.

(photo caption: my barista student uses buffered milk to form a pattern. The foam is very thin and the foam will sink quickly.)

After doing the usual exercises with the above methods, then formally send a jar of milk foam with pure milk and inject it into espresso to test your training results and make a good analysis record to guide better practice in the future.

No matter what kind of training materials are used to carry out the training, there is no substitute for milk, at least for now.
