When I saw the exquisite pattern, I thought it was delicious at first impression. Let's come to the front street to discuss whether pulling flowers will make the latte taste better.

Pull flowers have basically become the standard product of latte coffee. I remember ordering a latte 10 years ago and expecting the barista to pull out what kind of pattern. When I saw the exquisite pattern, I thought it was delicious at first impression. Let's come to the front street to discuss whether pulling flowers will make the latte taste better.

First of all, let's briefly introduce what kind of pull flower, pull flower is to use the right amount of milk foam milk, in fusion with espresso, the barista uses the technique to float the milk foam regularly on the liquid surface to form a pattern.

Pulling flowers will make a better first impression is a specific and very complex emotion, judging whether a cup of coffee is good or not is not just reflected in the taste, the visual experience is often the preliminary judgment that determines you. For example, some food is really delicious, but it doesn't sell very well. under the introduction of no one or anyone, your first impression of it is visual judgment, and if it doesn't attract you, you may miss its taste. And first impressions will also impress your judgment, such as seeing a cup of latte with a crooked pattern. Even if this cup of coffee is no different from a pretty latte, it will score lower in your heart.

Of course, there is another factor, that is, in the eyes of most people, flower pulling is a skill of baristas, and their skills reflect the professional level of baristas. Those with good-looking patterns are generally regarded as baristas with excellent skills and guaranteed product quality. The difference between the taste and taste of latte coffee mainly depends on the choice of coffee beans and milk, the extraction quality of espresso, the ratio of milk to coffee, the dispelling quality of milk foam and the quality of fusion. Qianjie has made a similar comparison, making all the above conditions well, and there is no obvious difference in the taste and taste of coffee between pulling flowers and not pulling flowers.

However, there is a flower drawing step will make the foam quality, fusion uniformity requirements are higher. Because if you do not pull flowers of the latte, just pour the milk with milk into the coffee until the cup is full. It is easier to achieve uniform integration and takes less time to make. While to make a flower, you need to reserve some spare cups for drawing, such as simple patterns will be fused to 7 minutes full, complex patterns will be merged to 4 minutes full, then if you want to blend evenly, the technical requirements for baristas will be even higher. There is no obvious difference between the taste and taste of latte coffee in Qianjie experiment. the premise is that the coffee is evenly mixed, and the color of the coffee liquid is white and brown. A "golden circle" is formed around it, which is the result of the fusion of coffee oil and milk foam, while the white part is the result of milk foam floating on the liquid surface. But when we drink coffee, the milk foam we drink is a golden circle formed by the fusion of fat and milk foam, so there is no obvious difference in taste and taste.

If the depth of the liquid surface is different, and there is a gradual transition color, it shows that the fusion is uneven, which will affect the taste and taste of the latte. If it is because of the production of beautiful and complex patterns, so that the production time is too long, it will also affect the taste experience.

Therefore, on the premise of not affecting the flavor and taste of coffee, properly making a simple and good-looking latte will make people feel better and taste better. And if the taste is sacrificed for the most beautiful flower, then the loss will outweigh the gain.
