Techniques for making fancy Coffee the preparation of cappuccino coffee

The perfect combination of coffee and milk gives people a very rich feeling. Make this cup of coffee, to prepare delicate milk foam, as the base of the Espresso, if the technology is excellent, then pull flowers on the milk foam, will make cappuccino more vitality. The following details are described in detail:

First, the production of milk foam:

Method 1: use a milk bubble pot to make handmade milk foam

1. Pour the milk into the milk bubble pot, and the amount should not exceed 1 / 2 of the milk bubble pot, otherwise the milk will spill over due to expansion when making the milk bubble.

2. Heat the milk to about 60 degrees, but not more than 70 degrees, otherwise the protein structure in the milk will be destroyed. Be careful! The lid and strainer cannot be heated directly. (for example, make ice foam to cool the milk below 5 degrees Celsius, of course, do not overfreeze and let the milk freeze.)

3, cover the lid and the filter, quickly twitch the filter to press the air into the milk, there is no need to press to the end, because it is to pump the air into the milk, so as to act on the surface of the milk; the number of times is not too much, gently twitch about 30 times.

4. Remove the lid and strainer and scrape off the thick foam with a spoon, leaving dense hot (ice) foam.

Method 2: use steam foam to make milk foam.

1, do not put the steam pipe into the milk, because there may be some condensed water in the steam pipe, so let off some steam in the front section and drain the excess water by the way.

2. Insert the thermometer into the container, then insert the steam pipe obliquely into the milk and turn on the steam switch.

3. Slowly adjust the position of the steam nozzle to a little bit from the surface of the milk, but never above the liquid level, or the milk will be spilled everywhere. A steady "hiss" will be heard when it is in the right position, otherwise it will be very loud or almost silent.

4. When the milk foam is sufficient, you can bury the steam pipe a little deeper and let the steam continue to heat the milk. The angle of the steam pipe had better be just enough to make the milk rotate.

5. The steam switch can be turned off when the diffuse reaches between 60 and 70 degrees.

6. Wipe the milk attached to the steam pipe with a wet dishcloth and release a steam at the same time, so that it is difficult to clean up after the milk is dry.

Second, the way of drawing flowers:

1. To cook Espresso, it is recommended to put the Espresso directly into the desired cup. Then hit the milk foam, after completion, if there is a thicker milk foam floating on the surface, please remove it.

2. Slowly pour the milk foam into the newly finished Espresso. When the foam is fully mixed with the Espresso, the surface will be thick, and this is the time to start drawing flowers (usually the cup is half full).

3. The beginning of the pull flower is to shake the wrist holding the flower cup from left to right, and the key point is to steadily make the wrist shake horizontally to the left and right. Please note that this action only requires the strength of the wrist, not the whole arm. When the shake is correct, the cup will begin to show white "zigzag" foam marks.

4. Gradually move the flower cup back, and reduce the range of the shaking. Finally, when you close the cup, draw a thin straight line forward and draw the stem of the leaves in the cup as the end.
