Does making a good-looking latte have anything to do with the flower jar?

Let's first look at the influence of coffee base.

1 grease

Baking degree, the lighter the baking degree, the less suitable for making flower drawing, so deep-baked beans are generally used. (second explosion first to second explosion density)

2 freshness

Many friends have a misconception that the fresher the beans are, the better they are. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. The beans that have just been baked contain a lot of carbon dioxide, which will produce a lot of bubbles on the surface when making flowers. Even the phenomenon that milk bubbles are easy to separate is inseparable from the fact that the beans are too fresh, so it is best for us to keep the baked beans for at least 20 colors for 40 days.

3 embossed grease and combinatorial grease

I have always believed that the pattern grease of the two style systems must be different. To make embossing, we need grease with high concentration and good fluidity, which can support very thin and cotton milk foam to glide at will on the grease surface. Making a combination pattern also requires high-contrast grease and strong supporting grease, but the thicker the more suitable, it is recommended to use gold extraction rate of grease.

Whether it is coffee as a job or as a fashion life, for coffee production itself, being able to master the skills of coffee flower drawing shows the exquisite shape of coffee, which is what every (professional and amateur) barista pursues and hopes to master. Many entry-level baristas pay attention to the operation skills hidden in the coffee flower, familiar with a lot of practice, but sometimes counterproductive, ineffective; from the professional barista pay attention to comprehensive aspects, such as: coffee machine, raw materials, techniques, and so on. Of course, these conditions are essential, preparation will not be easy to fail.

At present, the common jars in the market can be roughly divided into three types (sharp mouth, round mouth, triangular flat mouth), and the cylinder type of different pattern application is different. About (pointed mouth pull flower jar) is a lot of baristas like, feel sharp mouth, thick wall, and appear professional, buy one after another. There are a lot of "wet" people who fail on various occasions, and they always excuse themselves for "hey, I'm not in good shape today." He he. In fact, the pointed flower jar, because the outlet is deeper to control the flow rate is convenient, swing operation is uniform, so this kind of flower jar to make fine leaves is the most appropriate. Because of the tip of the mouth, if you make a heart-shaped flower, or the current popular tulip pattern, the success rate will become very low, and it is not easy to operate.

Round mouth flower jar is the most common kind of flower jar in the market. It is cheap and widely used, and many cafes are equipped with it. Round mouth, as the name implies, is that the mouth (exit) is wider and shallower, its flow control will be wider, and the operation of pulling flowers and shaking will be thicker, so it will be easier and easier to make heart-shaped flowers or tulip flowers, of course, if you want to make leaf-shaped flowers, of course, but it will be much more difficult than the sharp-mouthed flower-pulling jar, and the time has come to test the technology.

There is also a kind of triangular flat mouth flower jar, the mouth shape of this kind of flower jar is a small circle, and the exit is reflected in the form of hooks, which limits his operation of flow control and swaying. When pulling flowers, the milk flow is small and swaying without strength, and it is not out of shape; if the milk flow is large, it is difficult to control it, even if it can produce coffee flowers, but it is always unsatisfactory in appearance. Some baristas think that the difficulty of pulling flowers with a small cup of coffee lies in a very small amount and a small mouth, but it is more appropriate to use a small cup of coffee for small flow control, and friends can still try it when they have the opportunity.
