The mainstream latte coffee drinks on the market introduce the flavor characteristics of coffee beans suitable for making lattes.

Latte means "milk" in Italian, so if you order a single cup of latte in Italy, you will get a cup of milk without coffee. Now the latte we are talking about mainly refers to the fancy coffee made of espresso and milk.

Latte comes from the transliteration of Italian Latte. Latte is a kind of fancy coffee which is mixed with a certain proportion of milk in espresso. The original latte originated in Vienna, the capital of music, and Viennese began drinking coffee in the 17th century, when the Turkish army failed to attack Vienna and dropped 500 bags of coffee beans in a panic retreat. these beans became the raw material of the first coffee shop in Vienna (blue bottle). In order to cater to European tastes, coffee grounds are filtered and mixed with a lot of milk to make the bitter black coffee smooth and sweet, the taste fascinated by Viennese, and milk coffee is popular all over the world.

The raw material of latte is simple, only espresso and milk are needed, so the quality of coffee beans and fresh milk is very important. Coffee beans directly lead to the flavor of latte coffee. For example, many guests praise that the latte in Qianjie is very special, in fact, it is because Qianjie uses its own sunflower coffee beans, which is made of Yegashifi red cherry and Honduran Shirley. The latte coffee has the flavor of vanilla cream, wine, caramel and chocolate.

In addition to choosing the right coffee beans, the bean raising period is also very important. Some guests once reported that they bought the warm sun mix and did not make the flavor they drank in the Qianjie store. The reason was that the coffee beans were too fresh to extract the coffee flavor. A few days later, the guests said that they had extracted the flavor. According to the production test of Qianjie, the flavor of Italian coffee beans in Qianjie is the best for about 10-14 days, and the taste period is about 50 days.

There is no fixed proportion of lattes, most of which range from 1:5 to 1:8. The front street will use the ratio of 1:6, 40g espresso and 240g milk. When producing a hot latte, Qianjie will add espresso liquid to the preheated coffee cup, and then use Italian coffee machine steam to beat the milk. the milk temperature should be controlled at 55-65 ℃ to form dense and moderately thick milk bubbles, and then evenly mixed with the coffee liquid, the final lace is the icing on the cake.

Pull flowers make lattes look better and make lattes reach a wider audience. Some friends drink lattes at first because they want to see exquisite flowers, and then complete the transition from not drinking coffee to liking coffee. The hot latte on the front street shows the sweetness of wine chocolate and is as smooth as cream. Ice lattes in front of the street will be filled with 75 grams of ice + 25ml fresh milk, then 40 grams of coffee liquid will be extracted and sprinkled on the surface, reminding guests to stir well before drinking.
