How good is the proportion of soe latte and milk? What kind of Italian coffee beans are suitable for hot lattes?

Now we are talking about latte, which is a popular coffee drink with espresso and steamed milk. Due to the addition of milk, the originally bitter espresso becomes sweet and delicious, so that friends who do not drink coffee usually feel "really fragrant".

However, if the ratio of coffee to milk is not right, it will not achieve a good effect. If there is too much milk, there will be no coffee taste, and if there is too little milk, it will highlight the bitter taste. Therefore, making lattes also requires a good grasp of the ratio of coffee to milk. Qianjie believes that lattes do not have a fixed proportion, and everything requires the flavor of espresso to match with milk. But there is a general range, 1:5 to 1:8. We know that according to different market needs, the flavor performance and positioning of espresso beans are also different. For example, on the front street, there is an Italian coffee bean called commercial blending, which is Brazilian and Colombian Arabica coffee beans with 10% Vietnamese Robusta coffee beans to make a bitter traditional Italian flavor. Qianjie positioned it for use in some large commercial cafes.

The flavor of this bean is very strong dark chocolate, caramel and cream, mixed with a small amount of Robusta can enrich crema, at the cost of bitterness. For this coffee bean to make latte, it can be paired with a little more milk to balance the bitterness of the coffee. The cup capacity will be 360ml, espresso is about 40g, and the ratio of coffee to milk is about 1:8, that is, 320ml's steamed milk (including milk bubbles). The Italian coffee beans currently used in Qianjie are called sunflower sunflower coffee beans, which are made of Yega Sherfield red cherries and Honduran sherry. The bitter rhyme is moderate, and the flavor tends to be sherry, chocolate, vanilla cream and brown sugar. This kind of coffee bean is not as bitter as the traditional Italian bean, matches with the milk properly, can drink the dense milk chocolate flavor.

On the front street, the proportion of brown milk used to make lattes from these beans is 1:6, espresso liquid is 40g, and 240ml's steamed milk is added.

There is also a more popular category of SOE coffee beans, which are much lighter roasted than traditional Italian coffee beans, and the espresso produced can show the original flavor of coffee beans, less bitter and less full-bodied. This kind of coffee beans add a large proportion of milk to make lattes, which can easily mask the taste of coffee. So usually, the proportion of brown milk in which these beans make lattes is 1:5. It not only reflects the fresh sweetness of milk, but also does not take away the elegant demeanour of soe coffee beans.
