Coffee pull wrist how to practice _ coffee pull can not show lines how to do?

Pulling flowers has always been a skill that many bar hands want to have. more and more bar hands already have this skill. even if they are not bar workers, many people want to step into the field of pulling flowers. But many people have not been able to grasp the main points and give up halfway. Based on the experience of others, I provide some views that I think are quite important for your reference. I hope to give you some inspiration in the process of learning to pull.

To learn to draw flowers, you can first cut out the "foam part" and the "flower part". Whether the milk foam is good or not (thickness, cotton density) will really affect the effect of the later part. As I do not know how well you beat the foam, I will assume that you have no problem with the "foam part", and the melting of the foam is also OK. I'll cut directly into the part that says "draw flowers" first.

Let me first find out the common mistakes made by beginners:

First, most beginners are disrupted by the words "pull" and "flower". Before the basic job, I only thought of "pulling" and making "flowers". After a few twists and turns, it was really poured out cup by cup. Confidence is also stripped away piece by piece. When you occasionally make a cup of textured coffee, you forget why it is formed.

Second, first of all, I suggest that you only practice to let the "snow-white lines" appear first, and do not make any "pull flowers" movements. really, this is very important. this will let you understand the principle of the pattern, and confidence will be built from then on. As long as the ripple is made. the later flower (leaf) shapes are all evolved from this ripple. As long as you put in the different points, the inclination of the coffee cup, the number and timing of the wobble. It can change a lot. but really can not break away from this "shake" out of the "ripple".

Pull flowers in color, smell and fragrance

It is undoubtedly the part that represents color.

And it is also a technology with high added value.

A $50 traditional cappuccino, if you add the flower drawing technique.

It may be worth more than $80.

And the cost will not change.

Or the same amount of coffee and milk?

But the cost of training is quite a lot.

Back to the flower drawing itself.

It's a very standard black and white match.

Bai must be milk foam.

Black is coffee. Crema of

Right

The one who really shows brown is Crema.

For example, there is a difference between drawing flowers without Crema (this is because the background color without Crema is easy to uneven lines and because there is no Crema separation and easy to paste together) (this one is that the drawing with Crema can obviously see the difference from the former.)

There are three kinds of flowers.

The first one is to pour into the molding.

The second kind is the hook flower.

The third is the combination of the two semi-hook flowers.

First of all, pour into the molding technology, although the longest to learn is to "pull" flowers, but the basic technique is to "push", "shake" and "draw" not to inject too much force, otherwise the milk foam will bounce from the bottom to form a light background color. When pouring into the milk bubble, the action of "fusion" will be done first, that is, to keep the small water column so that the milk foam and coffee are mixed. If there is a milk bubble floating out, raise the pull cup. When the water column is aimed at the milk foam, it will be inhaled and mixed into about half a cup, and it will be close to the cup so that the white milk foam will appear, and then you can use different techniques to make the pattern injection. When the whole cup of coffee is injected, the surface of the whole cup should be in a very stable state. If the milk foam is too thin or separate, as soon as the milk falls down, you will find that the Crema is washed away, the water lines merge to almost full, and then use a spoon to scoop up the milk foam or sugar. The pulp makes dots or lines and draws patterns with toothpicks.

The combination of semi-hook flower and semi-hook flower is first used to create a prototype by pouring in molding, and then the hook pattern method is used to process a lot of animal shapes in this way. generally, the flowers are poured to the extent of a little surface tension, and the finished product will be more beautiful.

Many people do not want to take this step, but I would say, this step is very important, do you think you are a genius? How much milk do you want to waste? Didn't you hear what I said? Basic skills are the most important!

All right, lecture's over. Let's practice.

Objective:

1. Practice stability

two。 Preliminary mastery of sloshing skills

After practicing these two things, you can at least pull something out.

Exercise 1:

Pour the water into the cup with a milkstick, starting from the mouth of the cup, then raise the milk until the mouth is about three to five inches high from the mouth of the cup, and pour into the cup with a column of water of the same thickness, but the water column should be thick enough. Press the milk close to the rim of the cup when it is seven minutes full until it is full. All right, practice is over.

Do you see any bubbles when you pour in? yes, practice again, no, go into exercise two.

Exercise 2:

Try to pull the milk milk high and low when pouring water, to keep the water column the same as before, practice until there are no bubbles, no bubbles can be considered stable.

Exercise 3:

First pour into the cup with a stable column of water, and then try to shake the milk, not too fast, first shake slowly, not too much, slowly master it, but remember that the water column should be the same thickness

Isn't it so simple? after practicing these three things, you can get four things.

Round (circle), heart (heart), tulip (tulip), leaf (leaf)

If you pull these things well, you can pull them well.

Rose (rosetta ← Italian, English is rosette, but no one reads it in this way, but it is actually multiple hearts on leaves), double leaves (double rosetta is not called double leave for some reason), double hearts (double heart), swans (swan), heart flowers, feathers (feather), wings (wings).

Coffee and milk will appear at the beginning of the next article, but remember to practice these three exercises first.

Flower drawing Teaching (8)-- basic practice of flower drawing-circle

In the previous chapter, mentioned the importance of basic skills, basic skills should start from the circle and heart-shaped, in a stable way into the milk foam control, do not have to shake the milk.

The shaping is controlled by the distance between the milk and the coffee. As far as I understand it, flower-pulling skills are nothing more than pushing, swinging and painting, but we must first understand when milk foam will take shape on the surface of coffee.

All right, having said so much, it's time to start pulling flowers. In fact, it's the same as the previous practice of drawing water, as long as you master the stability of pouring milk.

1. Pour the foam directly into the coffee cup

two。 Blend to seven minutes full and put the milk close to the surface of the coffee.

3. The milk foam will form on the surface of the coffee.

4. Continue to pour milk until the cup is full
