A comprehensive knowledge of coffee

Cafe Latte

Latte is a classic blend of Italian espresso and milk. Italians also like lattes as breakfast drinks. In the Italian kitchen in the morning, coffee and milk are usually brewed on the sunlit stove. Italians who drink lattes like milk rather than espresso, and only espresso can bring unforgettable taste to ordinary milk.

Italian lattes (Caffe Latte) require a small cup of Espresso and a cup of milk (150,200ml). Lattes contain more milk and less coffee, which is very different from Cappuccino. The latte is as simple as pouring nearly boiling milk into a freshly made espresso. In fact, there is no fixed rule on how much milk is added, and it can be freely mixed according to individual taste.

If you add some frothy cold milk to the hot milk, it becomes an American latte.

Starbucks American lattes are made in this way, with espresso at the bottom, milk heated to 65 to 75 ℃ in the middle, and cold milk foam of no more than half a centimeter.

If you do not put hot milk, but directly decorate two tablespoons of milk foam on the Italian espresso, it becomes the Machi Hadot coffee called Espresso Macchiato by the Italians.

Caf é Au Lait

Ole Coffee can be regarded as an European latte, which is quite different from American latte and F latte. Ole Coffee is also very simple: pour a cup of espresso and a large cup of hot milk into a large cup at the same time, and finally put two tablespoons of whipped cream on the surface of the liquid. The biggest difference between Oulei coffee and American latte and Italian latte is that it requires milk and espresso to be injected into the cup together. Milk and coffee meet at the first time, resulting in a feeling of leisure and freedom. The French are the most enthusiastic proponents of Ole Coffee. You will see the round Orei Cup on the breakfast table in France, which is the source of their good mood for the day. Interestingly, compared with all the coffee cups, the cup used by the French to hold Ole coffee is probably the largest.

With the warm seasoning of milk, the originally sweet and bitter coffee becomes smooth, sweet and rich, even those who are not used to drinking coffee can not compete with the fragrant taste of latte. Like cappuccino, lattes are suitable for drinking in the morning because they contain a lot of milk. Italians also like to use it to warm their stomach and go with breakfast. Many people do not understand the relationship between lattes and Olei. In fact, lattes are Italian New year milk coffee, steaming milk in the way of machine steam, while Oulei is French coffee.

Gappuccino/Cappuccino Coffee in the early 20th century, Italian Azibucha invented the steam pressure coffee machine, but also developed the cappuccino coffee. Cappuccino is an Italian coffee mixed with the same amount of Italian espresso and steamed milk. At this time, the color of coffee is like a cappuccino monk covering a dark brown coat with a headscarf, hence the name caffeine. The traditional cappuccino is 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk and 1/3 foamed milk. The full-bodied taste of espresso, accompanied by lubricated foam; it has a hint of essence and dew.

The origin of cappuccino Fanz George Kolschitsky of Vienna is the founder of Cafe Latte with milk and coffee. Both drinks are made from coffee and milk, but cappuccino has a more knowledgeable origin and has always been the best material for the study of character changes in Europe and the United States. The history of the word Cappuccino: the monks of the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin), founded five years later in 1525, all wore brown robes and pointed hats. When the St. Franciscan Church spread to Italy, the locals thought the monks' clothes were very special, so they gave them the name Cappuccino. The Italian word refers to the loose robes and small pointed hats worn by monks, derived from the Italian word "headscarf" or Cappuccio. However, Old Yi loved coffee and found that when espresso, milk and milk foam were mixed, the color was like the dark brown robe worn by monks, so he came up with a drink with coffee and sharp milk bubbles, which was named Cappuccino. The word was first used in English in 1948, when a report in San Francisco first introduced cappuccino beverages, and it was not until 1990 that it became a familiar coffee drink. It should be possible to say that the word Cappuccino coffee comes from the St. Franciscan Church (Capuchin) and the Italian headscarf (Cappucio). It is believed that the original word makers of Cappuccino never dreamed that the monks' robes would eventually become the name of a coffee drink. Cappuccino is also related to the name of a monkey. There is a small monkey in Africa with a black cone-shaped hair on its head, much like a pointed hat on a St. Franciscan robe, hence the name Capuchin, which was first used by the British in 1785. The word Capuchin has generated coffee drink names and monkey names hundreds of years later, which has always been an interesting story for literati. Dry cappuccino and wet cappuccino do you know that cappuccino can be dry or wet? The so-called dry cappuccino (Dry Cappuccino) refers to the conditioning method with more milk bubbles and less milk. it tastes stronger than milk and is suitable for people with heavy taste. When it comes to wet cappuccino (Wet Cappuccino), it refers to the practice of fewer milk bubbles and more milk, with milk fragrance overshadowing the thick coffee flavor, which is suitable for those with light taste. The flavor of the wet cappuccino is similar to that of the popular latte. Generally speaking, the taste of cappuccino is heavier than latte. If you have a heavy taste, you might as well order cappuccino or dry cappuccino. If you are not used to the heavy smell of coffee, you can order latte or wet cappuccino. Cappuccino coffee is made on the basis of Italian espresso and a thick layer of foaming milk is made into cappuccino. The quality of espresso can be seen in milk and foam, but it is still an important factor in determining the taste of cappuccino. Pour the partially skimmed milk into a pot, then use a foamer to foam and inflate the milk, and let the milk be as uniform as whipped cream without burning. The cappuccino coffee cup should be warm or the milk foam will spread. You can usually put these cups on the top of the coffee maker to keep warm. Pour the milk and foam on top of the espresso and form a natural layer, just like wrapping the coffee below. Note that the brewed Italian coffee is about five cents full, and the hot milk that has been foamed is about eight cents full. Finally, you can sprinkle a little cinnamon or chocolate powder and pour the rest of the milk together to make a delicious cappuccino.
