Italian coffee latte pull embossing how to practice latte coffee proportion powder quantity?

A friend asked Qianjie how to practice the cylinder swing when embossing flowers, and this article is as "how to pull out a good-looking embossed line?" "in addition, friends who have not read it can click on the link first. I will not repeat the above article.

The first problem is that if your picture is asymmetrical, there is only one possibility, that is, your milk tank and the coffee cup do not form a straight line. What is to form a straight line? From the front and side, you can only see the plane figure of the flower jar and the coffee cup, but can not see its three-dimensional shape.

Looking down, the handle of the coffee cup faces inward, so that when it comes out of the picture, the figure is positive (right hand only), and the jar is parallel to the middle line of the coffee cup, so that when it comes out, it will be symmetrical.

The second question is, if you embossed, the lines are dense on one side and sparse on the other. There are two possibilities, the first may be caused by the first problem, and the second may be that the strength of your cylinder is uneven, that is, the swing is large on one side and small on the other. Qianjie's advice to you is not to practice with milk, start with the empty cylinder grab, such as the video below:

First familiarize yourself with the power point of the pendulum cylinder, as shown in the video, the thumb is responsible for the fixed position, and the other four fingers send the force, so that the cylinder handle becomes the fulcrum and the pull cylinder swings back and forth.

If you have mastered the principle of exertion, you can use clear water to practice, such as the following video:

This practice of swinging the cylinder back and forth is the most important process, controlling the flow of water and controlling the swing of the water, because the exercise of using water is different from the practice of empty tank, when using water, it will be subjected to the corresponding resistance of water when swinging. To practice to keep the current consistent with the swing, you need to practice patiently. And it can also be seen from the video that as the water in the tank decreases, it becomes easier and easier to swing.

Anyway, this is not a particularly difficult skill, it all depends on muscle memory, the poor placement of the cylinder must be not enough practice. The third question is that your embossing lines are very thick. There are two possibilities. The first possibility is that your foam is too thick. The second is probably the most difficult to change, that is, the habit of sticking the cup to draw the picture. In the past, it was more stable to draw the picture by pulling the white heart, pushing the tulip and sticking the cylinder mouth to the coffee cup, but it formed a restriction on the embossing instead. In the swing pull cylinder is easy to block the swing, and too close to the liquid surface, resulting in white lines are very thick, there is no sense of beauty.
