Sharing of hand temperature Measurement skills for Coffee Milk and foam

Good milk foam must be thick enough, dense and fine, milk foam to be fused with hot milk, milk foam surface to reflect, after each pull flowers observe the milk pot "hanging cup", there should be no big milk foam, the less small bubbles the better. Do you want to try it yourself?

The quality of the foam greatly affects the flavor of a cup of coffee, and the temperature of the foam is also a key factor affecting the quality of the foam.

1. The most suitable temperature for milk foam

When the milk is foamed on the coffee machine, the appropriate temperature is controlled in the range of 60 degrees to 70 degrees. The reason is that:

1, milk temperature below 60 degrees, will make the temperature of coffee reduced a lot, affecting the taste;

Lactose in milk between 60 and 70 degrees will be stimulated to make coffee more fragrant, sweeter and smoother.

3, higher than 70 degrees of milk, the nutrients will be destroyed, after all, milk will be more water, softness and sweetness will be worse.

Second, the milk bubble hand temperature measurement skills

Now that we know that the optimum temperature for milk is between 60 and 70 degrees, how do we determine this temperature? Chen Lei's personal suggestion is that you need to be equipped with a thermometer. You can insert the thermometer directly into the foaming milk, so that the temperature of the milk will be clear at a glance. Of course, due to the accumulation of experience, you can finally get rid of the thermometer and directly measure the temperature of the milk foam by hand. The techniques are as follows:

1. Hold the milk jar in your left hand, turn on the steam in your right hand, and start foaming milk foam;

2. After turning on the steam, stick your right hand to the wall of the milk tank and feel the temperature of the milk foam;

3, when your hand feels very hot, and can no longer stick, you can stop foaming milk, and then, insert the thermometer into the milk bubble, measure the temperature.

4, if the temperature has not reached 60 degrees ~70 degrees this range, Chen Lei suggested that you can in the next bubble to hot, remove the palm, and start in the heart silent count 1, 2, 3, 4…This is usually in seconds as a unit, overtime, for example, your hand removed milk jar hand, you overtime for four seconds, measured the temperature reached 65 degrees, then congratulations, you found the law, after all in hot time overtime for about four seconds.

According to the above point 4 plus or minus time method can be easily measured by hand foam temperature skills. The above techniques are somewhat tricky. In fact, as long as the milk foam is made for a period of time, the law and feel can be found, and the temperature of the milk foam will be easier to control.
