The most basic needs

I. width

First of all, your milk cup should be wide enough to create a whirlpool effect when milking. The purpose of the vortex is to break the big bubbles and turn them into tiny bubbles. These tiny bubbles will not be formed until the milk is fully whipped and heated evenly, resulting in a smooth, velvety, smooth, glossy milky coffee.

2. Size

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

We should decide the size of the milk cup according to the needs of the product. If the milk cup 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 cup is too full, the milk may spill over the edge of the cup as it rotates.

The ideal amount is to pour the milk in the cup to the protruding position below the mouth of the cup, that is, about 1 prime 3 of the cup.

The capacity of the cup will also affect the tilt angle of the flower movement, which will affect both the punch and the ending, and when you get used to it, you will be able to use it easily.

III. Material

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 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.

IV. Mouth shape

Experienced baristas and professionals can pull out a highly consistent and perfect pattern of any milk cup, and some cup mouth designs are particularly suitable for specific patterns. Different designs of the cup mouth will also make targeted teaching easier.

Hearts and tulips should be the starting point for baristas to start their latte journey. To put it simply, we start with a vague "one", but we have to pour it out beautifully and have a round shape. If you are just learning to pull flowers, or if you have just found a little feeling about handing out milk, then if you want to improve the shaping of this pattern, you can choose a classic round-mouthed flower cup. This kind of flower cup can make the foam smooth and smooth, and flow out relatively in a round shape.

But it is relatively difficult to pull out extremely delicate patterns with this kind of milk cup, but Slowsetta (a pattern with less embossing and wide veins) may be a good choice for you.

Traditional leaf patterns, or other complex combinations (such as swans or peacocks) are more suitable for narrow-mouthed, relatively pointed nipples. This design allows you to better control the direction of milk flow and facilitate the design of details.
