Starbucks American lattes are made this way, with Italian espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 65cm and 75 ℃ in the middle, and finally a layer of cold milk foam of no more than half a centimeter.

3. Ole Coffee

The French are the most enthusiastic proponents of Ole Coffee. You will see the round Orei Cup on the breakfast table in France, which is the source of their good mood for the day. Interestingly, compared with all the coffee cups, the cup used by the French to hold Ole coffee is probably the largest.

Practice:

Use utensils and materials: the right amount of deep-roasted coffee beans, the right amount of milk (the proportion of fresh coffee and milk is 1:1).

(1) soak the cup (warm cup) in hot water to raise the temperature, and then pour out the excess water for use.

(2) after grinding the deep-roasted coffee beans, pour the coffee powder into the filler, flatten the coffee powder with a press stick, then buckle the filler to the extraction port of the espresso machine, and extract Espresso (the proportion of fresh coffee milk is 1:1).

(3) take the right amount of milk and put it under the steam nozzle of the espresso machine to steam it into hot milk.

(4) pour steaming milk into a cup.

(5) shake the cup up and down to make the foam rise.

(6) finally, pour the Espresso into the cup slowly.

4. Cappuccino

The traditional cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foamed milk. The full-bodied taste of espresso, coupled with lubricated foam, has a touch of essence and dew; sprinkled with foamed milk of cinnamon powder, mixed with the aroma of bottom-up Italian coffee, the new generation of coffee is fascinated by it.

The method of making cappuccino coffee:

On the basis of Italian espresso, add a thick layer of foaming milk to become a cappuccino. The quality of espresso can be seen in milk and foam, but it is still an important factor in determining the taste of cappuccino.

Pour the partially skimmed milk into a pot, then use a foamer to foam and inflate the milk, and let the milk be as uniform as whipped cream without burning. The cappuccino coffee cup should be warm or the milk foam will spread. You can usually put these cups on the top of the coffee maker to keep warm.

Pour the milk and foam on top of the espresso and form a natural layer, just like wrapping the coffee below. Note that the brewed Italian coffee is about five cents full, and the hot milk that has been foamed is about eight cents full.

Finally, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon or chocolate powder and pour the rest of the milk together to make a delicious cappuccino.
