How to use milk foam to pull flowers? What details should you pay attention to to get rid of foam? Latte Milk foam course

Before, Qianjie shared an article about how to play foam, but there are still some friends who are puzzled. As the so-called details determine success or failure, this barista will take an inventory of the details that should be paid attention to in the process of passing away the foam.

Detail 1: refrigerate milk

The milk used in Qianjie is pasteurized fresh milk, so it needs to be stored at a low temperature. If you use pure milk preserved at room temperature, please put it in the freezer before sending it. When the temperature is lower, the time it takes to heat the milk to 60 degrees Celsius also increases, which means more operating time, which can help you get rid of high-quality foam and buy valuable time.

Detail 2: drain the moisture of the steam rod before passing it off.

The higher the dryness of the steam, the less the water content, and the milk bubbles will be denser and less moisture, so the drier the steam, the better. If the steam rod is not used for a long time, the water vapor in the steam head will be cooled into water, and if it is not excluded in advance, it will be directly sprayed into the milk, affecting the milk concentration and dispelling the difficulty. Therefore, it will also be of great help to turn on the steam button before discharging the water and then carrying out the hairdressing.

Detail 3: the angle between the steam rod and the liquid level

In the past, Qianjie always stressed that it would be easier to dispose of the steam rod at 3: 00 or 9: 00 on the liquid level, but ignored the angle between the steam rod and the liquid surface. The steam bar can move back and forth to adjust the angle. If the steam rod is too perpendicular to the liquid level, most of the steam is ejected downward, making it difficult for the milk to form a whirlpool, then it is directly heated. If the angle is too large, most of the steam will be ejected in a parallel direction, making the small whirlpool too large to form turbulence that is difficult to control or milk spill. It is suggested that the angle of the front street should be adjusted between 30 °and 45 °according to the actual situation.

Detail 4: passing the temperature

How much heat will it take to end it? In general, milk can be sent to 50-60 degrees Celsius, too high temperature will lead to protein decomposition, and protein-supported bubbles will be unstable and burst. As for how to master the temperature, you can start with a thermometer to assist, and let the hand to touch the milk tank, feel its temperature, over time, form muscle memory.

Detail 5: shock cylinder

If you have paid close attention to the barista's handling of the foam, you will find that the barista will knock on the bottom of the vat and the table after it is done. This is called a "shock cylinder". At present, it is a big bubble with unstable structure, which makes its surface delicate and smooth. However, tapping can also accelerate the breakdown of delicate foam, so it is not recommended to continue shaking the cylinder. It usually shakes 2-3 times after it is fired.

Detail 6: reverse cylinder

If you accidentally beat thick milk foam and make it less liquid, it doesn't matter, it can be remedied. Generally speaking, when the milk foam is thickened, there will be a large number of milk bubbles floating on the surface, which can be solved by dumping the cylinder (which can promote the fusion of milk and foam), as long as your foam is still in a delicate and smooth state. Prepare one more milk tank, pour all the milk bubbles and milk into the empty milk tank, pour it back, shake and shake the tank to eliminate coarse milk bubbles, and then pour a small amount of milk and milk bubbles into the empty tank. because of the light weight of milk bubbles and floating on the surface of the property, so the first to pour out a large number of milk bubbles, then the rest of the better mobility of milk bubbles. In the same way as the vibrating cylinder, the inverted cylinder is not suitable for reuse.
