Complete the latte in four steps

To make a perfect latte, you need to follow these four steps.

Grinding powder

Grinding: when coffee beans are ground into coffee powder, their fragrance will evaporate more than 90% in two minutes. Many coffee shops even grind a lot of coffee powder the night before for business the next day, but the best baristas require that it take no more than a minute to grind to make coffee.

Pressing powder

Pressing powder: the water will find the fastest shortcut through any place, so you must press the powder evenly, otherwise the coffee powder in the handle is high in some places and low in some places. After the water rushes in, the density is uneven. Will greatly affect the taste of coffee.

Milk foam

Milk foam: when making lattes, the quality of milk is very important, otherwise it will not only affect the taste, but also affect the production of milk flowers. While milking, the coffee has been washed into the cup, and the process is 25 seconds.

Milk flower

Milk flower: milk flower is called latte art. When the barista pours the milk foam into the coffee cup containing espresso, he uses the direction, angle and speed of the milk pot to slightly control the milk to float from the bottom of the cup to make a beautiful pattern, instead of using a mold. This has high requirements on the temperature and density of coffee, the temperature and thickness of milk, so it is called art.
