Is buffalo milk suitable for making latte? Does buffalo milk dirty contain coffee? Is it good?

Whenever we mention buffalo milk, we blurt out that it will be double-skinned milk, ginger milk, fried milk, fried almond milk, peach gum stewed milk, Phoenix milk paste. Wait a minute! Wait a minute! If you go on, the tears will really stay from the corners of your mouth.

Buffalo milk, as a major feature of Guangdong and Guangdong regions, is often used in the production of new drinks in recent years. In our coffee circle, it collides with espresso to create many new flavors, such as buffalo latte and buffalo Dirty. Taking advantage of the geographical advantage, Qianjie will try buffalo milk with Italian coffee today to see if it tastes better than ordinary fresh milk.

Buffalo milk, what is it?

Most of the milk we often drink comes from Holstein cows with black and white patterns, while buffalo milk, hence the name Siyi, refers to the milk produced by dairy buffaloes.

Buffalo milk contains more protein, fat, sugar and calcium than regular milk, which means it has a lower percentage of water. In addition, buffalo milk contains much more minerals and vitamins than ordinary fresh milk, so it tastes more silky and sweeter, has a better aftertaste, and has no fishy taste of ordinary milk, but correspondingly, it has more calories.

Nutrition aside, when the two are blindly tested and compared in the current street, the milk flavor of buffalo milk is more obvious, especially when heated to 45: 50 ℃, the sweet rhyme is indeed better than ordinary fresh milk, but the latter is slightly weaker in terms of alcohol thickness.

How many kinds of buffalo milk are there?

Throughout the buffalo milk products on the market, we can divide them into two categories: fresh buffalo milk that needs to be refrigerated and ultra-high temperature sterilized milk that can be stored at room temperature. therefore, there will be some differences in taste.

Qianjie used frozen fresh buffalo milk from Baifulu, a local brand in Foshan, and bought three different categories: glass bottles, cartons, and bags, with a net content of about 200ml, which is exactly the size of a cup of latte. Due to the use of pasteurization, that is, the use of lower temperature (usually 60-82 ℃) for sterilization, so more to retain the taste of the milk itself, but because of the short sterilization time, the shelf life in the cold environment is also shorter than that of normal temperature milk, about 5-7 days.

In order to explore the potential of buffalo milk coffee, Qianjie will use this pile of milk to make three mainstream drinks: Australian white, iced latte and Dirty. Coffee beans are still resident in Qianjie-sunflower blending, and the extraction parameters, dosage and proportion are consistent with the daily products of the store.

Buffalo milk white

As a first step, pour a carton of 180ml frozen buffalo milk into the milk tank and set aside, then use 20g coffee powder to extract double Ristretto (28g), take 23 seconds, and pour into a medium ceramic cup (today's espresso extraction parameters are: 20g coffee powder, time 31 seconds, coffee liquid 38g).

Then, send the freshly prepared buffalo milk to the warm range of 50-55 ℃, control the foam thickness in the moderate range of 0.3cm, and finally evenly merge the two, pull flowers, and make a cup of buffalo Milk O White Coffee.

Qianjie in the heating process can smell a refreshing strong smell of milk from the milk tank, but also feel that the milk foam sent by buffalo milk is not as delicate as ordinary fresh milk, through the reflection can see a slight sense of roughness on the surface. When combined with Italian concentration, the pattern is not as stable as it is when you pull flowers with bright fresh ranch milk on weekdays in front of the street.

In taste, Australian white made of fresh buffalo milk has a soft sweet smell of milk sugar, with coffee oil entrance is vanilla, white chocolate, cookie flavor, but the aftertaste is not strong, mellow thickness is also low.

Buffalo milk ice latte

Compared with hot milk coffee, the operation of ice latte is much easier, that is, there is no need to dispose of foam, nor do you have to worry about pulling flowers. First, we prepare a good-looking glass, then throw 3 ice cubes (90g) into it, and take out a glass bottle of buffalo milk from the refrigerator and pour 180ml into the glass. Finally, we extract two portions of espresso (38g) and sprinkle on the surface. Buffalo milk ice latte done!

After mixing and tasting in the current street, the aroma of this cup of buffalo milk iced latte is unexpectedly thin, and the mellow milk can not be felt against the ice cube. Compared with the conventional iced latte, it is like a cup of iced milk with a little coffee flavor.

Buffalo milk Dirty

In addition to the irritating alternating hot and cold taste, the reason why people like to drink Dirty is to enjoy the collision between bitter coffee and sweet milk. Then as the base, the buffalo milk with its own sweet taste is considered by the barista.

First prepare an ice glass about 200ml, pour in 150ml fresh buffalo milk, and then pour double espresso directly on the surface of the milk. Shunt handle can be used during extraction to shorten the distance between coffee liquid and milk as far as possible, so that the oil can be retained more completely and a stable stratification effect can be formed.

By comparing the three cups of coffee, Qianjie believes that Buffalo Milk Dirty has the best taste, because without the influence of ice, the entrance of coffee is fragrant with vanilla, cocoa and fermented wine, accompanied by the sweetness of the lower ice milk and the finish of roasted nuts.

Generally speaking, the overall taste of several types of milk coffee produced in this round is slightly insipid, that is, it does not highlight the aroma of coffee and the sweetness of buffalo milk, nor can it achieve the effect of 1: 1 > 2. The front street guess is that the roasting degree of this coffee bean is not too deep, so it fails to highlight the characteristics of the combination of the two.
