Latte is a classic blend of Italian espresso (Espresso) and milk. Italians also like lattes as breakfast drinks. In the Italian kitchen in the morning, coffee and milk are usually brewed on the sunlit stove.

Now we know that lattes are made up of espresso and milk. Among them, the hot latte needs to be added with beaten milk, which is a great test of the barista's ability to dispose of milk, so the production of hot latte is divided into three parts, the first part is to extract espresso, the second part is to dispense milk, and the third cloth powder is to mix the milk with espresso and draw flowers.

Milk mainly depends on the steam stick of the coffee machine to pour the right amount of milk into the milk tank. For example, the latte of Qianjie coffee can be poured into 280 ml of milk with a cup of 300 ml, because the milk expands after being filled with gas. Before starting to dispense the milk, turn on the steam switch slightly to spray the steam to drain the excess water from the steam stick, then submerge the steam head of the steam stick into the milk level and turn on the switch.

Dispelling milk is divided into two stages, the first stage is to put the steam hole in contact with the milk surface, this stage is to send out the foam, which will make a sharp sound like tearing paper, and this stage determines the thickness of the bubble. The second stage is to soak, when enough foam is sent, the vat is raised, the steam hole is flooded into the milk, and the milk is rotated under the action of steam. This stage determines the quality of the foam.

The thickness of the milk bubble of latte is moderate, about 1 cm, the surface of the milk is shiny, no bubbles, and has a certain degree of fluidity. Finally, the milk is mixed with the extracted espresso, and the milk cylinder mouth is slightly higher from the cup, which has an impact, and gently fuses the milk and coffee until it is seven minutes full. then press the flower jar down, the nozzle is close to the coffee liquid surface, the impact is reduced, and the milk foam will appear because of buoyancy up, so the liquid surface will begin to appear white foam. At this time, the embossing action can be made by swinging the arm, because the foam is moderate and has a certain degree of fluidity, so it will show a constantly swinging line, and finally pull up and push forward to end to make a basic heart-shaped pattern.

So what's the difference between latte and mocha or cappuccino?

The difference between mocha and latte is chocolate sauce, which adds chocolate paste to espresso compared to latte, making the coffee sweeter and more concentrated.

The proportion of cappuccino is different from that of latte. It is made of 1/3 concentrated and 1/3 milk and 1/3 milk foam.
