I don't know if baristas or flower lovers have noticed that it is obvious that the foam is quite good, and it is also very good when drawing flowers with a latte cup, but when it is replaced with a tall cup with a narrow mouth such as a pack cup or mug, it will not be able to pull out a satisfactory pattern. As soon as the foam falls down, it looks like it is too thin.

Take the paper cup as an example, the capacity of the paper cup is generally 4oz--20oz, the caliber is generally 6cm--9cm, and the height is generally 6cm--15cm.

Caliber and height are the biggest reasons for the difference between paper cups and latte cups:

1. Caliber

The caliber of the paper cup is different from that of the latte cup, and the caliber of the paper cup is smaller, so it limits the ability to make some complicated patterns when drawing flowers with the paper cup.

2. Height

Because the height of the paper cup is higher than that of the ordinary latte cup, when you first pour the milk, you will find that the milk is poured at a height of about 10 centimeters from the surface of the coffee.

When pulling flowers, we will find that the milk foam that is obviously suitable for latte cups is not suitable for paper cups, this is mainly due to the height of the paper cups, because the milk tank is also 10 centimeters closest to the coffee liquid surface, so when the milk bubbles are poured down and come into contact with the Cream of espresso, gravity will bring the Cream of espresso down, and it will be easy to wash away if the milk bubbles are not thick enough.

When drawing flowers with a paper cup, we can often see two ways of fusion, one is to merge against the edge of the paper cup, and the other is to merge in a circle like drawing flowers with a latte cup.

Circle fusion

This fusion method can move on the grease surface to a large extent to achieve the purpose of fusion, but it is easy to bring down the Cream of coffee liquid.

Stick to the paper cup and merge

Blend against the edge of the paper cup. At first, when you pour the coffee, the foam is tilted and poured into the coffee from a height of about 5 centimeters from the surface of the coffee. At this point, the foam and espresso naturally merge into one. When the color of the coffee slowly becomes lighter, it can go in a circle and blend with the coffee.

The general pattern of drawing flowers with paper cups is relatively simple, not so complex, but you can still see the technology in the stability of the lines and the symmetry of the pattern. It is also a very interesting experience to pull flowers with different cups and utensils. The reason why they are so charming is probably because it is a process of exerting their imagination.
