Latte ratio latte concentrate to milk ratio & glass or ceramic for latte cups?

Lattes have always been popular with the public, and the capacity of lattes varies from cafe to cafe. So what capacity cup is suitable for producing lattes? This time Qianjie Coffee is going to talk about the proportion of latte coffee & what kind of coffee cup is the most suitable.

The "latte" in ​ latte is transliterated from "latte" in Italy, meaning "milk". Latte literally translates to mean "milk coffee". Lattes vary slightly in the ratio of milk to coffee, beans and extraction parameters in each store. But in general, a latte is a coffee drink with a large amount of milk mixed with espresso. Because of the high content of milk, the taste of milk will be more obvious than that of coffee, and a small amount of milk foam will make latte coffee a delicate and smooth taste. The proportion of lattes recommended in front street is 1:9 (1ml's espresso: 9ml's milk)

Qianjie Coffee currently makes espresso using beans from medium-deep-roasted sherry barrels and beans from the medium-deep-roasted Shirley Red Cherry program. 60% of the Honduran sherry barrel coffee beans provide flavor and mellow thickness for this mixed bean, and 40% of the sun Yega Sheffield provides more aroma and acidity.

Qianjie concentrated extraction parameters:

Pressure: 9 bar ±2

Temperature: 90.5 ~ 96 °C

Time: 20: 30 sec

Ratio of powder to water: 1. 7: 1. 1: 2.

Powder content: 12g (single espresso) 20g (double espresso)

Extraction concentration: 20ml (single part) 40ml (double part)

Whether a cup of latte is good or not, the quality and flavor of concentrated beans is important, but fresh milk is also important! When fresh milk is heated, the sweet molecules of lactose are better released. When mixed with espresso, the whole latte has its own sweet taste of milk and is not strong in the wind of espresso. On the contrary, it can better reflect the flavor of espresso against the background of milk.

Foaming parameters of milk in front street & skills:

Milk: full-fat fresh milk

Milk temperature: 50-60 degrees Celsius

Thickness of milk foam: 1 cm

The milk foam of the latte is too thin and tastes smooth and delicate. Therefore, the milk bubble of latte coffee can not be too thick, the surface is shiny, there is no obvious coarse bubble, fine bubble, the whole is delicate and beautiful.

Foam tips: rinse before the steam switch: let the steam pipe rinse, drain the front end of the moisture, avoid foam too wet (covered with a clean rag, avoid random spray. )

Insert ice milk into the steam pipe: rinse the steam into the milk. Tube depth: if the pipe diameter is inserted too low, it will only be heated to change the milk bubble. on the contrary, if the pipe diameter is inserted too high, it will produce a big bubble, which is not beautiful and can knock flat on the table and burst the bubble. )

Position of the steam pipe: the most perfect and foolproof steam injection point is when the steam pipe is inserted into the steel cup, the steam pipe is against the small nozzle of the steel cup, and the nozzle points to the center and then slightly deviates the 1cm.

Turn on the steam: when the steam is injected, the ears should listen attentively-there should be the sound of drinking drinks blowing on the straw, and there should be no crisp feeling of bubbles hitting the metal steel cup. The temperature can be turned off when the temperature is 50 / 60 degrees. )

What capacity & what kind of cups do you use to make a hot latte for single and double espresso?

Qianjie Coffee recommends ceramic cups with hot lattes. Ceramic cups are thick and have a better heat preservation effect, so preheat the cup in advance before making a hot latte.

If you can calculate according to the 1:9 latte ratio, one concentrated latte is 20ml coffee and 180ml milk, suitable for 200ml capacity coffee cups; double concentrated lattes are 40ml coffee and 360ml milk, suitable for 400ml capacity coffee cups.

Qianjie Coffee uses double espresso to make a latte in the hope that this latte is more coffee-flavored, so it will generally make the coffee cup with 350ml capacity.
