The methods of coffee drawing can be divided into three categories.

The methods of coffee drawing can be divided into three categories: direct injection forming method, hand drawing method and screen pattern method.

Direct injection forming method

Direct injection molding refers to the use of foamed milk, which is quickly poured directly into the espresso, in a state where the milk has not yet been separated from the foam. After the milk foam and espresso are integrated into a certain saturated state, the hand shaking technique is used to make the milk bubble float on the surface of espresso by using the principle of water ripple, and various sloshing control techniques are used to form a variety of graphics. The figures formed are divided into two categories, the first is the combination of various heart-shaped and leaf-shaped lines. The second category is the figurative line graphics of animals and plants.

Pouring directly into the shaping method is the most difficult way in the coffee flower drawing technique. Because this method has to pay attention to all kinds of details, from the state of espresso, the way the milk is foamed and the degree of organization, to the skill of combining the two, coupled with the direct injection molding method, the time for the formation of the pattern is very short, so it also requires very smooth and rhythmic movements and rapid and accurate hand shaking techniques, and most people will retreat because they are unable to meet these requirements. Therefore, if you want to become a real master of coffee flower drawing, you must constantly practice carefully.

Hand drawing method

The hand drawing method is that on the coffee that has completed the fusion of espresso with milk and milk foam, using white dots or irregular patterns produced during the fusion, using toothpicks or needles, dipping with sauces such as cocoa powder or chocolate, various shapes are sketched on the surface of the coffee. Most of its graphics can be divided into two kinds, one is regular geometry, most of them use sauces of various colors to draw basic lines on the surface of the fused coffee, and then use toothpicks or needles to draw various regular geometry. The other is a figurative pattern, such as portraits, cats, dogs, pandas and other animals.

Most of the espresso is now sprinkled with cocoa powder, then poured into the milk, milk foam fusion, and slightly shake the wrist during the fusion, so that the surface of the coffee to form a figure-shaped ripple pattern, and then take the round-shaped ripple pattern as the bottom, using toothpicks or needles, dipped with cocoa powder or chocolate and other sauces, a variety of figurative patterns are sketched on the coffee surface. These hand-drawn methods are not as difficult as directly pouring into the forming method, as long as you master some key details, you can make very beautiful hand-drawn graphics.

Screen pattern method

The principle of the screen pattern method is very simple, generally divided into two ways of expression. The first way is to let the milk and the milk foam be separated for about 30 seconds after the milk has finished foaming, and then use a spoon to block part of the milk foam to first merge the milk with espresso, and then use a spoon to cover the milk foam on the surface of the coffee to form a snow-white surface. After that, use a screen or screen engraved with various shapes or words, place it about 1cm away from the surface of the coffee, and sprinkle cocoa or cinnamon powder on all kinds of screens and screens to make the coffee surface show various shapes or words.

The second method is similar to the first method, but the difference is that do not wait after the milk foaming action, directly let the milk foam and espresso fusion action, to pay special attention to do not produce white foam on the surface of caffeine. Then use the screen and screen engraved with various shapes or characters, place it about 1cm away from the surface of the coffee, and sprinkle white sugar powder across all kinds of screen and screen to make its surface show various shapes or words.

The screen pattern method is the simplest of all coffee flower drawing techniques. You can carve a variety of shapes or characters on your own, or you can change it with a simple hand drawing method to create more interesting patterns.
