Coffee flower is a craft of baristas, which brings some customers' praise and self-pursuit to baristas. Guests will come to the restaurant to ask the barista to make leaves or loving flowers. The barista must be able to fully comply with the requirements of the guests, so as to bring a good experience to the customers and improve their skills. For friends who have just learned to pull flowers, if they want to learn the skills of drawing flowers, you can move on.

1. Height (Heigh)

Before pulling flowers, you need to blend milk foam with espresso. When you first pour the coffee, pour the milk foam into the coffee from a height of about 5 centimeters from the surface of the coffee, and the milk flow should be as thin as a mouse's tail or even thinner. At this point, milk foam and espresso naturally merge into one. At this time, you can start to make pull flowers, pour the milk foam as close as possible to the cup mouth of the coffee, you will find that as the mouth is closer to the coffee, the more white milk bubbles will float on the surface of the coffee, not all blend with the coffee.

two。 Posture (Position)

When you pour milk foam into coffee to create a symmetrical flower design, it is important to remember that you are pouring one liquid into another liquid, and the force of the foam into the coffee will push the pattern of the flower forward and the coffee in the cup. When pouring milk foam, you have to pour the white foam and brown coffee. If you pour the foam steadily from the center of the coffee, you will get a pattern that diverges outward from the center, but if you deviate from the center, the motivation for the foam to pour into the coffee will draw a long, snake-like line curled in the cup.

Advanced action: if the coffee cup is flat on the counter or table when you pour the foam, it will make it easier for you to aim at the center of the cup, but in this way, the foam is not enough to make a deep espresso base for you to make a pattern. If you tilt the cup slightly at the beginning and return the cup smoothly, although you must gently correct the flow path of the foam to ensure that the foam is poured into the cup from the central point, when you master the skill, you will pull out a white-brown pattern with a beautiful proportion.

3. Traffic (flow)

The amount of foam flow is an important condition for you to see flowers or disorganized patterns in the cup. Pouring milk foam too much and too fast will destroy or even disintegrate the pattern that we have already finished on the coffee base. If you pour too much milk foam too far from the coffee, it will splash, making the pattern a mess and out of order.

Please note: to increase the flow of milk foam, this action must not be done at the same time after lowering the spout of the kettle. You should increase the flow of the foam the moment you put the spout to the lowest point or closest to the cup. This continuous combination of lowering the spout and increasing the flow allows you to pour the white foam out of the bottom of the kettle, allowing you to easily (skillfully and artistically) put the foam on the surface of the coffee.

4. Control (Control)

If you just want to make a heart-shaped flower or a simple note, then the first three basic skills will suffice. But if you want to make Rosetta or Tulips flowers next, you have to control the foam in your hand. Making a basic Rosetta is not as difficult as it seems, but you do need to grasp the first three elements: height, posture and flow.

Did you learn after reading it? Coffee pull looks simple, but it is not easy to operate, because this requires too many factors, if it is really so easy, baristas will be too easy to career, the salary is already low.
