"big white heart", "thousand layers of heart", "push tulips", "embossed tulips", these are some of the more common coffee flowers, so if you want to pull out these delicate patterns, how thick is the milk bubble?

What is the effect of the thickness of the milk foam on the flower drawing?

The biggest difference in the thickness of milk foam lies in the fluidity of milk. when the milk foam is thin, it has good flow performance and can do better convection pattern, which is suitable for some embossed or complex combination pattern. When the milk foam is thicker, the flow performance is poor, the convection effect is not good, but the pattern is easy to float on the surface, and the state is stable, so it is suitable to make some simple patterns.

So how to judge the thickness of milk foam?

The most direct way to judge the thickness of milk bubbles is to observe the fluidity of milk by shaking.

When shaking the milk tank, the shaking range of the milk is relatively large, so the thickness of the milk foam is relatively thin.

When shaking the milk, the shaking range of the milk is relatively small (like the feeling when shaking the cream), then the thickness of the milk foam will be thicker.

Of course, this way can only be tested and determined after the dismissal, so how do we judge the degree of foam in the process?

We may recall that when we pass the time, we will hear a shrill "squeak" sound, and then the milk in the tank will come up, but when the "squeak" sound disappears, the amount of milk will not increase. The amount that comes up is actually the thickness of the milk foam, and the "squeak-squeak" sound is the sound produced by pumping air into the milk.

Therefore, the shorter the "squeak" sound time, the thinner the milk foam, and the longer the "squeak" sound time, the thicker the foam.

For pull flowers, how should we choose the thickness of milk foam?

If you pour 5 cents full of milk into the milk tank and send it to 6 minutes full, the fluidity of the milk foam is better and it is easy to pull out a more delicate pattern.

If sent to 7-8 full, then the milk bubble layer will be relatively thick, poor mobility, but strong stability, suitable for pulling out some simple patterns.
