What is the difference between a cappuccino and a latte? What is the ratio of cappuccino milk to coffee?

At the beginning of the invention of the pressurized coffee machine, because of the steam function, people were able to heat the milk and send out dense foam at the same time. When the thick milk foam drenched on the coffee, because the appearance and color are too similar to the Catholic robe, so people use the word "Cappuccino" to name the coffee. And this is a widely circulated theory of the birth of cappuccino.

Unlike lattes and Australian white, cappuccino has always been a favorite of many friends because it adds less milk and has a stronger coffee flavor. But just yesterday, when a guest placed an order for a cappuccino at a store on the front street, he made a special request: he didn't want a "wet" cappuccino if he could, but a "dry" cappuccino with a gold ring.

Everyone should be familiar with the "golden circle", which is the special appearance made of milk foam and coffee. But there are two versions of cappuccino: wet and dry. This is a bit unthinkable! It doesn't matter. Let's share the difference between these two versions of cappuccino in front of the street today. And how to make the golden circle of cappuccino ~

Cappuccino is also divided into "dry" and "wet"? Some time ago, Qianjie shared a piece about the production of an ancient version of cappuccino, which mentioned that the cappuccino made earlier not only needs to fill the cup to 11 cents, but also has a coffee gold ring. But with the birth of the art of flower drawing, in order to add a pattern to enhance the visual experience of coffee, most coffee shops choose to make coffee flowers by thinning the milk bubbles of cappuccino in exchange for mobility.

As a result, it is difficult to see cappuccinos with gold circles and cappuccinos spilling to 11 cents in today's coffee shops. But note, not all! There are still many coffee shops still maintain the ancient cappuccino practice, there may be no gold circle, but there must be spilled milk bubbles. The aforementioned "dry" and "wet" cappuccinos refer to these two different versions of cappuccinos. The so-called "dry" cappuccino, refers to the ancient version, with very thick milk foam cappuccino. Under the same cup volume, the thicker the foam is, the less the milk will be. Because the foam will occupy the space of the cup, and the amount of espresso is fixed. So when the thickness of the foam in a cup of coffee increases, the amount of milk will be reduced accordingly.

The "wet" cappuccino, on the other hand, refers to the mainstream nowadays: cappuccino with pull flowers and milk foam that is not so thick. Under the same cup volume, more space is freed due to the decrease in the thickness of the foam. And because the amount of espresso liquid is fixed, so the amount of milk has been increased. Compared with the former, this cappuccino has more water content, so it can be divided into "dry" and "wet". It sounds weird, but that's how it works. So in the previous article, many friends in the backstage private message Qianjie how to make the cappuccino "golden circle", so Qianjie here by the way to share how to make the cappuccino golden circle!

How to make the golden circle of cappuccino? As said at the beginning of the front street, the golden circle of cappuccino is mainly composed of espresso and milk foam. The color of the outer ring is provided by espresso, while the inner ring is filled with milk foam. There is no difficulty in making it. Let's demonstrate it in front of the street. So first of all, let's extract the espresso. In front of the street, 20g powder is used here, and it takes 32 seconds to extract 40ml coffee liquid. Then in the extraction at the same time we carry on the milk foam to dismiss! Because there is no need to pull flowers, so we can try to thicken the foam as much as possible. When you are done, pour the concentrate into a prepared coffee cup.

Then take out a spoon prepared in advance, dig a spoon of milk foam, and put it in the center of the coffee.

To dig a few spoonfuls, you need to judge for yourself. in short, you can fill the center with a circle through milk foam. Then we shake the vat, recombine the foam and milk in the jar, and pour it in the middle of the cup.

Because the surface is full of milk foam, so we do not need to worry about the coffee will spill over, rest assured to pour it boldly! Pour to 11 points and it will be over!

At this point, a cup of cappuccino with a gold ring is finished! In one mouthful, you can drink the different flavors of grandma Niu and coffee foam at the same time. If you take a bigger sip, you can also drink coffee Noumenon, which can be said to be full of layers and experience. But it is worth mentioning that when making the golden circle, we try not to fill the circle in the center too full. Because when the middle circle is overfilled, the edge of the concentration ring will be shrunk, looking like an omelette. So the golden circle of cappuccino is often ridiculed as "poached egg".
