How much is the foam temperature of Italian latte suitable? The best drinking temperature of milk coffee cappuccino

As the temperature drops, more and more customers order hot milk coffee in Qianjie stores. Hot sweet milk and espresso blend into a slippery hot latte, which is really warm.

In order to make the hot latte not cool down so quickly after it is produced, some friends will heat up the milk temperature, so it is particularly important to grasp the moderate milk temperature at this time.

-the suitable temperature of milk foam

The end point of milk foam is based on whether the temperature is high enough. Usually, the milk temperature range for hot milk curry produced by coffee shops is set at 55-65 ℃. As the milk foam and milk liquid need to be fully mixed and beaten time, the milk should quickly form a whirlpool and enter the heating stage after air intake.

50-70 ℃ is in the period when the properties of milk have not changed to irreversibility, so the stability is high. The milk foam in this temperature range makes the hot milk curry taste the most suitable, and the flower pattern is more lasting.

-when the foam reaches more than 70 ℃

The temperature of the milk is so high that we can feel that the coffee liquid is separated from the foam when we drink it. Due to the long foaming time, although the temperature of the milk liquid has risen, the foam layer that has formed numerous pores has not risen to the same temperature.

It is this temperature difference that makes us feel that the liquid is detached from the foam, and it is too hot for our tongue to feel the compactness of the foam layer. The higher the temperature of the milk coffee, the greater the temperature difference.

In addition, when the milk temperature rises to more than 70 ℃, the smell of milk is obvious, but the taste of milk is very insipid, with a milky smell and rough taste, and it is easy to collapse and decompose when mixed into coffee liquid.

This is because the high temperature causes the protein in the milk to be broken down and the foam is less stable, so it will be broken down quickly.

How to control the temperature of milk?

Beginners can first use the thermometer and palms to feel the milk temperature.

Usually milk is heated to 40 ℃ and the heating rate is determined according to the temperature of the steam bar, the amount of steam and the amount of liquid in the tank. When the palm of the hand feels hot, it means that the temperature has reached more than 55 ℃, then we remember this feeling.

If you are an experienced milking player, you can directly judge the range of milk temperature by the touch. After beating the foam, soak the steam stick into the milk until the temperature is reached.

In the low temperature environment in autumn and winter, the temperature of hot drinks drops faster. On the utensils, we can preheat the cup first, or choose a material with better insulation, such as a ceramic cup.

Baristas in front street will raise the temperature of the foam to 65 ℃ on the daily production parameters, that is, continue to heat for 3 to 5 seconds. Balance the flavor and aroma of the hot latte without affecting the taste because it is too hot.

Unlike lattes, cappuccinos have a thick foam layer of about 1.5 to 2cm, and people want to drink more foam. Qianjie recommends keeping the milk temperature of Cabo below 60 ℃ so that you can drink it without burning your mouth.
