MILK BLISTERS in the process of making coffee foam

Milk foam production

Pour the milk into the milk bubble pot, the amount should not exceed 1 stroke 2 of the milk bubble pot, otherwise the milk will overflow due to expansion when making the milk bubble.

Heat the milk to about 60 degrees, but not more than 70 degrees, otherwise the protein structure in the milk will be destroyed. Be careful! The lid and strainer cannot be heated directly. (for example, make ice foam to cool the milk below 5 degrees Celsius, of course, do not overfreeze and let the milk freeze.)

Put the lid and the filter on, and quickly twitch the filter to press the air into the milk. when you twitch, you don't need to press to the end, because you want to pump the air into the milk, so you can act on the surface of the milk; you don't need too many times. gently twitch about 30 times.

Remove the lid and strainer and scrape off the thick foam with a spoon, leaving dense hot (ice) foam.

Flower drawing mode

GARLAND WAY

The methods of coffee drawing can be divided into three categories: direct injection forming method, hand drawing method and screen pattern method.

Direct injection forming method

Directly into the forming method refers to the use of foamed milk, before the separation of milk and foam, quickly pour it directly into the Espresso, in the milk, foam and Espresso fusion to a certain saturated state, the use of hand sloshing technique to make milk bubbles use the principle of water lines to float on the surface of Espresso, and use a variety of different sloshing control techniques to form a variety of graphics. The figures formed are divided into two categories, the first is the combination of various heart-shaped and leaf-shaped lines. The second category is the figurative line graphics of animals and plants.

Direct connection is the most difficult way to draw flowers in coffee. Because this method has to pay attention to all kinds of details, from the state of Espresso, the way the milk is foamed and the degree of organization, to the skill of combining the two, coupled with the direct pouring into the forming method, the time for the formation of the pattern is very short, so it also requires very smooth and rhythmic movements and rapid and accurate hand shaking techniques, and most people will retreat because they do not have the method to meet these requirements. Therefore, if you want to become a real master of coffee flower drawing, you must constantly practice carefully.

Hand drawing method

Hand drawing method, that is, on the coffee that has completed the fusion of Espresso with milk and milk foam, using white dots or irregular patterns produced during the fusion, using toothpicks or needles, dipping with sauces such as cocoa powder or chocolate, and sketching various shapes on the coffee surface. Most of its graphics can be divided into two kinds, one is regular geometry, which uses sauces of various colors to draw basic lines on the surface of the fused coffee, and then draws various regular geometry with toothpicks or needles. The other is a figurative pattern, such as portraits, cats, dogs, pandas and other animals.

Screen pattern method

The principle of the screen pattern method is very simple, generally divided into two ways of expression. The first way is to let the milk and the milk foam be separated for about 30 seconds after the milk has finished foaming, and then use a spoon to block part of the milk foam to first merge the milk with Espresso, and then use a spoon to cover the milk foam on the surface of the coffee to form a snow-white surface. After that, use a screen or screen engraved with various shapes or words, place it about 1cm away from the surface of the coffee, and sprinkle cocoa or cinnamon powder on all kinds of screens and screens to make the coffee surface show various shapes or words.

The second way is similar to the first method, but the difference is that do not wait after the milk foaming action, directly let the milk foam and Espresso fusion action, to pay special attention to do not produce white foam on the surface of the coffee.

The screen pattern method is the simplest of all coffee flower drawing techniques. You can carve a variety of shapes or characters on your own, or you can change it with a simple hand drawing method to create more interesting patterns.
