Different mouth shapes and different patterns

Speaking of mouth shape, big mouth, small mouth, sharp mouth, crane mouth …... There are too many mouth shapes of flower vats on the market.

Big mouth is suitable for: embossing, heart pushing, tulips, big leaves. Conventional patterns, can not do fine work, the mouth is too big.

Small mouth is suitable for: embossing, heart pushing, tulips, big leaves, small leaves. A small leaf refers to an element of a combinatorial diagram. Pull flower cylinder mouth valgus, valgus can make your ending very comfortable, combination or embossing are very comfortable.

The most basic requirements for choosing a flower jar.

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. After the milk is fully beaten and evenly heated, these tiny bubbles will be produced, and there will be a smooth, shiny milky coffee like velvet.

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.

In the world, or on the market, there are three basic categories: 300ML, 600-750 MLPhone 1000ML, as well as mini and giant ones.

What size of flower jar should we choose?

First of all, the 350 ml flower jar is generally used to make a small cup latte, less than 200. No matter how big it is, we can often see the figure of 600ML's flower jar.

In addition, 350ML's flower jar can also be used to dispense milk. 350ML's flower jar is small and has a high degree of foam fusion (evenly mixed and unified as a whole). Of course, when you send it off, remember not to have too much steam.

Second, 600ML's flower jar is generally used to make coffee "god" flowers, that is, very complicated 10 leaves or 20 leaves or wings. Some students are very entangled and must take 350ML's jar to pull 10 leaves, do not delay milk, 350ML's please put aside, do not think it is exquisite to choose a 350ML, for 600ML, easier to shape.

Third, the flower jar of 1000ML is generally used for milking when making two cups of 300ML or so.

Of course, in fact, 1000ML's flower jar for embossing and wheat spike has a different flavor, in theory, wheat spike is easier to map, you can try 10 wheat spikes, oh, very interesting.

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 bank 3 of the cup.

The capacity of the flower cup will also affect the tilt angle of the flower movement, which will have an impact on the punch and the end, and when you get used to it, you will be able to use it.

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 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.

IV. Mouth shape

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

Fifth, is there a handle? Still no handle?

Whether you have a handle or not, it all depends on your habit when you pull flowers. Some people think that the milk cup without a handle can give you more flexibility and the position of the hand is changeable, giving you more control to control the milk flow.

But we should also pay attention to the heat conduction of the milk cup. If you choose a milk cup without a handle, you must pay attention to the thermal insulation effect of the milk cup cover outside.

These are just a few ideas that can be used for reference in choosing a milk cup, but the most important thing is not only whether you feel comfortable or not, but also include weight, balance and heat conduction. The most important thing is whether you can control it well when pulling flowers, and whether you will feel more pressure at the end. You need to try a lot and find the one that suits you to master your skills.

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.

(pointed mouth pull flower jar) is a favorite of many baristas, feeling that the mouth is sharp, the wall is thick, and appears 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.

When the long mouth pulls the flower jar, the tip of the long mouth is extended, and the angle of the neck is almost perpendicular to the tangent of the outlet, the foam is reduced by the restriction of the waist, and the dense foam will not be reduced by much; and the extended path can be controlled relatively larger to better control the flow.

The longer mouth is easier to operate at the fixed point and in the short mouth, so it is easier to be refined and easier to use in the performance of the pattern.

(round mouth) the round mouth flower jar is the most common kind in the market, which is cheap and widely used. Many cafes like to be equipped with it. Compared with the pointed mouth flower jar, the mouth shape is wider and shallower, his flow control will be wider, and the operation of flower pull will be a little thicker, so it will be relatively easy to make push heart (tulip flower) and heart-shaped coffee flower. Of course, it is also possible to make leaf-shaped flower-pulling, but it is much more difficult than the pointed-beaked flower-pulling jar.

This kind of jacquard cylinder is a small circle, and the cup outlet is reflected in the form of hooks, which limits his operation of flow control and rocking. I personally feel that although it is difficult to pull flowers in a small cup of coffee, because the quantity is very small, and the cup itself is a small mouth, it is more appropriate to apply to a small cup of coffee in the control of small flow operation. You can try it when you have a chance.

The triangular flat mouth pulls the flower jar, this kind of mouth design is very wide, very shallow, the operation is very inconvenient. So in the coffee flower, the milk flow is small to shake without strength, can not be out of shape; milk flow is large to shake up difficult to control, even if you can make coffee flower, but often not satisfactory in appearance, if you do coffee flower practice for a long time, still in distress pull flower can not come out, or hand shake (pull flower hand shake, how broken! ), or probably chose the wrong flower jar.

Single-winged swans look simple, using only one point injection, unlike pushing tulips for multiple point injection, but the requirements for injection flow and velocity are relatively high, as well as the injection angle and path are also more critical.

1. Put the milk pot close to the edge of the coffee cup and slowly pour in the mixture until 70% of the coffee cup.

two。 Pour in the milk (reduce the inclination of the milk pot) and swing the milk pot to make a circle.

3. Move the milk jug to the back and make a figure similar to the conch

4. Slowly move the teapot to the front to draw out the body of the swan

5. Pour the milk down and move the kettle to draw a curve to draw the swan's neck

6. Pour the milk at the point near the edge of the cup, gently shake the kettle in place to make a small heart, and then lift the jug.
