The liquid surface of coffee flower is too dirty, the fusion skill of coffee flower, how is it made?

A friend asked Qianjie in a private message: why is my background so floral? how do you achieve the clean background in your article? The main reason for the dirty background is that the fusion stage is not done well. In addition to making the liquid surface of the drawing unclean, it will also lead to uneven concentration distribution (a mouthful of milk and a heavy taste of coffee). Today, Qianjie will explain to you the details and skills of fusion and how to practice integration.

Fusion refers to a step of fully mixing milk and espresso, fully mixing milk and espresso to get a cup of milk coffee that tastes smooth and comfortable, and fusion is the last step before drawing. The cleanliness of the liquid surface determines the cleanliness of the background.

Specific tutorial: use the height far from the liquid level to pour the milk and draw a circle, draw a large circle as far as possible, but control the size of the liquid column (flow) so as not to let the milk tumble, and finally mix and stir to the amount you want to draw.

I. the means of integration

Generally speaking, we are accustomed to holding the milk jar in hand and the coffee cup in the other hand. When mixing, it is easier to mix the coffee and milk foam fully with the mixing of one high and one low, and try to circle the circle as much as possible. Be careful not to hit the wall, keep the liquid column stable and the flow rate consistent.

Second, grasp the flow rate of milk bubbles (unified before and after the liquid column) the instantaneous amount of milk is too large, or the flow is unstable, which may lead to white spots (/ white edges). When this happens, do not panic, first stabilize the liquid column, circle in the white point (/ white edge) and then go to press it down.

Third, grasp the height of the nipple and the concentrated liquid level generally the distance between the cylinder nozzle and the concentrated liquid level is about 5-10 cm, there is no completely fixed height, this depends on the specific habits of the individual.

Fourth, the cleanliness of the liquid surface after fusion

According to the previous street experience, the reason why the liquid surface is not clean may be: 1, the concentrated oil is not rich enough to mix the milk foam smoothly; 2, the milk foam is not played well. Milk foam is not dense enough, milk and milk foam are easy to be layered, milk foam is too old and hard, etc.; 3, the problem of fusion techniques. The circle is uneven and the flow is unstable. Finally, if your fusion technology is not stable enough and you don't want to consume so much milk, you can try to practice with water first. The main practice is to stabilize the liquid column when the milk tank is dumped; the hand that turns when drawing a circle, the grasp of the size of the drawing circle, to form a certain muscle memory. Of course, there is a certain gap between the actual milk foam and water in terms of smoothness (feel different). If you practice too much water, you still need to be familiar with it when you try to use milk again. -END-
