Milk foam making and Coffee pattern drawing skills of Italian Coffee

Today, I'm here to share with you how to make a beautiful and delicious cup of coffee.

Preparation The preparation of coffee is extremely important. You must make sure that the following points are safe: 1. Make sure the steam wand is clean; 2. Make sure the milk is fresh enough and the temperature is 4-7℃. The cooler the milk, the better, but don't freeze; 3. Have a thermometer ready. The milk temperature should not exceed 35-40 ° C during the whipping stage and 65-70 ° C during the homogenization stage. If you are a beginner, be sure to use a thermometer. Only those experienced masters can judge the temperature of milk by feeling; 4. Be sure to clean the milk tank after each milk, and ensure that the temperature of the milk tank is low enough; 5. Be sure to deflate the steam stick before each milk, so as to avoid the residual water in the steam stick entering the milk; 6. Ensure that the steam pressure is constant, and the moisture content in the steam is not too high, otherwise it will affect the texture of the milk.

Environment Make sure you relax after making sure other equipment such as the coffee maker is in place. If you relax enough, you can feel the rhythm of the milk spinning in the milk tank, and only then can the quality of the milk be better. Make sure you are relaxed every time you whip the milk, only then can you guarantee that the quality of each cup of coffee is consistent.

For the past 7 years, I have been training baristas, which has led me to find the most effective and stable milk skills. Whether you are an enthusiast, beginner or master of drawing, remember that constant quality is the most important thing. The above pictures show you the steps of whipping milk.

Before you start practicing pulling, try to perfect your milk whipping technique. Only the texture of milk soft, silky, pull flower quality can achieve the best. Don't rush to pour the freshly whipped milk into the cup. Let the milk sit for a while to ensure that the texture of the top and bottom milk is uniform. When pouring, ensure that the coffee cup and milk tank tilt accurately in place, pouring speed lasting stability. The speed and angle of pouring milk determines the success or failure of pulling flowers. At the beginning of the exercise, try pouring coffee 5 centimeters from the top of the cup. Start dumping slowly, then slowly accelerate. Depending on the graphic needs, you must stop dumping at the exact time. If you're a beginner, don't shake coffee cups or milk tanks. The first thing you need to do is master the speed, angle and height of the dump. Finally! I know that everyone wants to make beautiful and delicious coffee, but it takes a lot of time and effort, deliberation, patience, and experience. Remember to start with the most basic graphics. Only by laying a good foundation can you create the perfect coffee that truly belongs to you according to your personal imagination.
