If there is any technology that coffee shops often use when producing special tunes, Qianjie believes that it should be non-"milk washing ".

The so-called milk washing is a method of mixing acidic substances with milk to cake the casein in the milk and finally filter out a transparent and clear milk liquid. Because both the viewing and taste are very unique, many coffee shops often use this technology to make specialty coffee. But what everyone needs to know is that although the milk washing technology is very simple to operate, there are still many details that need to be paid attention to in the actual production. Anyone who has actually tried it should know that if we just add acid and coffee to milk, then the clarified liquid we make is likely not suitable for drinking directly.

Because it's not that good. If we don't pay attention to the use of milk washing materials, the clarified liquid produced will be more suitable as one of the materials for making a certain special tune than drinking it directly. Yesterday, a friend reported to Qianjie when buying beans at Qianjie store that the clarifying liquid was terrible and asked how to make a good milk-washed coffee.

If we want to make a milk cleaning clarifier suitable for direct drinking, in addition to the necessary materials for milk cleaning, we also need to add some additional materials to adjust the taste, such as sugar, because it is needed to balance out the outstanding sour taste. There is also the choice, proportion, and duration of soaking coffee beans. They will have a huge impact on the taste of milk-washed coffee. Take coffee beans first. As we all know, different coffee beans have different taste characteristics. If we want to make milk washed coffee with a fresh taste and then more harmonious taste, then Qianjie will first promote the use of medium and lightly roasted coffee beans. For example, the Qianjie Ethiopian Flower Kui in Qianjie Doudan is very suitable.

Qianjie Ethiopian Flower Kui is a medium and light roasted Ethiopian coffee bean. The coffee made from it will have strong aroma of strawberry, cream, berry and citrus, and the taste is mainly sweet and sour. When we use the coffee extracted from it to make milk washed coffee, the final milk washed coffee will have a fuller sweet, sour and fresher flavor. And if we want the taste of coffee to be stronger in creamy coffee and then the aroma to be more mellow, then the coffee beans we use can be medium-and deep-roasted coffee beans. For example, the Qianjie PWN gold mantinin in the Qianjie bean list is very suitable for making milk washed coffee.

Front Street PWN Golden Mantinin is a deep-roasted coffee bean produced in Sumatra, Indonesia. The coffee made from it has a very strong mellow aroma, which is the aroma of chocolate, nuts, cream, and caramel. The taste is balanced and sweet. When using it to make milk-washed coffee, it will make the taste of the coffee more prominent, and at the same time, the acidity will be lower, giving it a unique flavor. In addition to the choice of coffee beans, as mentioned earlier on Qianjie, the ratio and soaking time will have a great impact on the taste of milk-washed coffee. Needless to say, the soaking time mainly refers to the soaking time after the materials are fused. The longer the time, the stronger the taste will be.

If the milk washed coffee we want to make is a relatively fresh type, Qianjie recommends that you not soak it for too long, for 1 hour or filter it after the casein in the milk is flocculated and separated; If you want to make the milk washed coffee more delicious, the soaking time can be slightly longer, about 2 to 4 hours, but try not to be too long, because the milk will be more likely to deteriorate after adding other materials.

Having said all this, everyone will definitely want a formula that can make good milk and coffee. Of course there is! It's a popular milk-washed coffee recipe a while ago. It's as follows: 50 ml of orange juice, 25 ml of pomelo juice, 5 ml of freshly squeezed lemon juice, 160 ml of water, 80 ml of milk, a little salt, and double espresso coffee. The espresso front street here uses the front street Ethiopian flower quai SOE. The extraction parameters are powder amount of 20 g, powder to liquid ratio of 1:2, and extraction time of 30 seconds.

As for the production steps, because Qianjie has done detailed production and sharing before, interested friends can learn about it in the article "Reproduction of Tokyo's Most Popular Special Coffee", Qianjie will not elaborate on it too much. It's quite good, and it's very simple and worth a try~
