Foam and latte are two essential skills for baristas, both of which are not as simple as they think, especially in the beginner period, choosing a suitable flower jar may help you.

At present, there are many kinds of flower cup brands on the market, including different materials, capacity, mouth shape, gram weight and color. This text will not recommend one or several brands of flower cups to you, but try to tell you how to choose a suitable one in front of many choices.

Most milk tanks come in one or two different sizes, 12oz (360ml) and 20oz (600ml). Of course, there are other capacity specifications of the milk tank.

We should decide how big a milk tank to use according to the needs of the product. If the milk tank is in space, the steam outlet can not be completely submerged in the milk, which will produce air bubbles and spatter the milk; if the milk tank is too full, the milk may spill over the edge of the milk tank as it rotates.

The ideal amount is to pour the milk in the bottle to the protruding position below the mouth of the bottle, that is, about 1 in the cup.

Most people will choose high-quality stainless steel, because it can ensure the consistency of the temperature of the milk heated by steam, and the temperature of the milk can be more easily sensed in time. If you think this temperature makes you feel hot or uncomfortable, you can try a milk cup with Teflon coating outside to protect your fingers.

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.

Pointed mouth pull flower jar is a favorite of many baristas. They feel sharp mouth, thick wall, and appear professional, so they buy one after another. 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.

The triangular flat mouth pulls the flower jar, this kind of mouth design is very wide, very shallow, the operation is very inconvenient. Therefore, in the coffee flower, the milk flow is small to shake without strength, can not be out of shape; when the milk flow is large, it is difficult to control, even if it is able to make coffee flower, it is often 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.

If some friends practice hard to pull flowers for a long time but do not have the effect, there may be a problem with the selection of the flower jar, we can make a corresponding choice according to the characteristics of the above kinds of flower jar.

Although it is said that pulling the flower jar has an impact on the coffee flower, but the machine professionalism, skill operation proficiency, milk foam smoothness and other comprehensive factors are very important, no matter who, or diligent practice is fundamental!
