The correct method and drinking method of distinguishing dirty Coffee from Latte dirty

Dirty coffee is espresso extracted on top of iced milk to form a good-looking layering. Over time, the upper coffee liquid slowly erodes the white milk and forms a good-looking gradient under the transparent glass, as if the white milk has been soiled.

To put it bluntly, Dirty coffee is just a good-looking, special latte, but it is so handsome that it is loved by many people. Some friends also follow the tutorial to make Dirty coffee, but the Dirty coffee is not layered as expected, but mixed with milk. What's going on? Qianjie summarizes several common reasons. The choice of the cup the shape of the cup also plays an important role in the formation of layering. Generally choose the cup height, the opening of the small cup is easier to form a layered effect. If you choose a cup with a large mouth and a shorter cup, it will take longer for the coffee to reach the entire liquid level, and the distance left for the coffee liquid to "dirty" downward is not enough and not beautiful enough. The cup is preferably frozen, which can not only slow down the coffee liquid, but also maintain the flavor and taste.

The most common problem with the distance between the extraction handle and the cup is that the extraction handle is too long from the cup, so that in the process of extracting espresso, it will converge into a slender column of water, forming a greater impact and penetrating the surface of the milk. it is difficult to float on the surface to form a layer. Therefore, in order to form a good-looking stratification, you need to be close to the extraction handle, the closer to the liquid surface, the better.

If you cannot directly connect to the extracted coffee liquid because of the limitations of the machine, you can first hold the newly extracted espresso in a small cup, and then stick a small spoon on the milk surface to form a buffer layer. Be sure to put the concave of the spoon up, slowly pour the coffee liquid into the spoon, and the coffee liquid spilled from the spoon will float on the surface of the milk.

The concentration of coffee liquid is not enough. Many friends ask Qianjie, can the mocha pot work like an espresso machine? Unfortunately, there is still a big gap between the concentration of the coffee liquid brewed by the mocha pot and the coffee machine, not to mention grease. Therefore, the coffee brewed in the mocha pot is not suitable for the coffee base of Dirty.

It is generally believed that the stratification effect of Dirty coffee made from oil-rich and delicate espresso is better, and the coffee liquid permeates into the milk more slowly, freeing up enough time to take pictures. The milk is too thin. You can choose something mellow and with a stronger flavor. Too thin milk can not hold the coffee liquid, and it will soon merge together. Qianjie has used Weiji and Guangming fresh Ranch, which are all good choices. Here is just for your reference. Now it is highly recommended to use ice blog to make Dirty coffee. Qianjie has also tried it. The concentration of ice blog is about twice that of ordinary milk, and it is very rich. If it forms a stable layer with coffee, it is really stable, without the feeling of "dirty". When drinking, it is very easy to get bored.

Of course, some friends will use "ice blog + fresh milk" to make a moderate concentration of milk, which is also a good attempt.
