"Coffee flower drawing" is one of the important ways to show the appearance of coffee, and it is also the core skill of baristas. Beginners of coffee should master the operation skills of coffee flowers, practice diligently, summarize, analyze and correct them constantly in the process of learning. in order to skillfully master the operation essentials of coffee flower, so that the flower can become arbitrary.

To make a good coffee flower, to put it simply, there are three elements:

Skills of milk injection and fusion

Stick to the coffee cup, shake and wobble (key points)

Improve the action of thinning and ending;

The secret of heart-shaped coffee flowers:

Small flow injection, improve the cylinder cup

Draw a circle and blend to about half a cup.

Go down, select the spot at 1 / 3 to the right of the diameter of the cup, and stick the flower jar against the coffee cup.

In the process of evenly shaking left and right, slowly increase the flow

When 9 minutes are full, put it away, get thinner, and take it out in a straight line.

A cup that is full without overflowing.

Illustration of heart-shaped coffee flower drawing process and essentials:

The first step: "the problem of utensils and posture"

Coffee cups will have a handle, which generally requires the ears of the cup to be pointed at them (so that the heart shape made in the future can be facing the customer when the customer drinks with his right hand); the mouth of the cup is tilted about 45 degrees vertically (in order to facilitate the shaping of patterns in the process of coffee drawing, especially for beginners).

Step 2: "injection, fusion"

This is the first step in the operation. We often have problems with the quality of the foam, or the height of the foam injected, the flow rate and so on. These factors will affect whether the coffee surface can be pierced at the moment the milk is poured. There is no white substance on the surface. Main point: "inject, improve the cup" when this action is perfect, then it is circle fusion "purpose: in order to make the milk and coffee combine evenly, to facilitate the next step of operation."

Step 3: get close to the coffee cup and prepare to shake.

Lower the cup so that the cup is in contact with the coffee cup, and the best point at this time is near 1 / 3 of the direction of the jar, otherwise the heart shape is not in the center of the coffee cup.

Step 4: "shake left and right."

Local three-step close injection, when the coffee surface appears white, slowly increase the flow and evenly and naturally swing the pull vat left and right. "the symmetry and strength of the left and right sway determine the roundness and size of the pattern." Note: the operation should be fixed at 1 / 3, otherwise there will be a problem with the heart-shaped tail.

Step 5: "improve, refine, and finish."

When the cup volume reaches 9 minutes full, raise the cup and fine the flow, and take it out in a straight line toward the vertical direction of the cup ear. "main point: first put it away and make it thinner, then move forward."

Seemingly simple operation process, which contains many requirements and essentials. Coffee flower drawing is different from painting, it is the combination of reasonable strength, height, angle and cup shape between liquid and liquid.
