Piccolo coffee latte Coffee five Australian specialty coffee culture has spread around the world

With the introduction of Flat White coffee in the United States (Starbucks currently offers small, medium, large and caramel coffee models), Americans are able to taste the delicious coffee invented by Australians. But the contribution of Australians to the world coffee culture goes far beyond that. Today, we are going to count five great inventions about coffee from Australia.

Australians are deeply influenced by the traditional Italian coffee culture and the new world coffee culture created by Anglo-Saxon, so their innovative consciousness and ability are unparalleled. The five inventions listed below reflect the outstanding contribution made by Australians to the development of coffee culture in the world.

1.Piccolo latte

To make a Piccolo latte, you need to pour 30 milliliters of espresso into an 80 milliliter glass and then pour milk. It is said that the Piccolo latte was invented by baristas and roasters from Sydney who originally wanted to taste the mellow Italian espresso without drinking large amounts of milk. You mustn't confuse the Piccolo latte with the American Cortado. Cortado coffee has a larger volume.

two。 Double black coffee (Long Black)

To make double black coffee, you need to pour double espresso into a cup with 70 milliliters of hot water. There should be a layer of coffee oil on the surface of a high-quality double black coffee. American coffee (Americano), which is often drunk in the United States, has no coffee oil on the surface, because people pour water into the coffee when making this coffee, which destroys the original oil layer of espresso.

3. Recyclable takeaway coffee cups

Abigail Forsyth and Jamie Forsyth, founders of Bluebag in Melbourne, were shocked by the huge impact of their production and business activities on the natural environment, especially abandoned takeout coffee cups. So in 2009, the couple invented Keep Cup recyclable take-away coffee cups. This kind of coffee cup is now widely used, and coffee shops and coffee chains in more than 30 countries order more than 3.5 million coffee cups with them each year. During this period, there is no shortage of copycats to imitate their ideas to make other kinds of recyclable take-away coffee cups.

4.The Little Guy mocha pot

In 2005, Craig Hiron from Sydney did an in-depth study of the traditional mocha pot and wanted to transform its traditional design concept to make coffee of the same quality as espresso. With the help of an industrial designer and a thermal expert, Hillon finally invented the The Little Guy mocha coffee maker. This coffee pot is an improvement on the classic design of the Italian Giordano Robiati (Giordano Robiatti) in 1947 and can produce high-quality Italian espresso and lattes.

5. Bring the concept of boutique coffee to the world

When Stella Rice and Anna Rice first came to Paris in the 1990s, they were shocked by the expensive, bad coffee there. So they decided to open TuckShop, a local boutique coffee shop in Paris with their good friend Rain Laurent, and offer Flat White, Long Black coffee and sandwiches made from avocados to the French public. Their aim is to improve the declining boutique coffee industry in Paris, France. Today, in Paris, many boutique coffee shops emerge in endlessly, including La Coutume, Holybelly and so on, all of which are operated by Australians. Meanwhile in the UK, Cameron McCruise (Cameron McClure) from New Zealand opened a boutique coffee shop in London in 2005 and is seen as the initiator of the London boutique coffee trend. In addition, in Brooklyn, New York, Toby's Estate was born, followed by the the Big Apple Caf é opened last year by New York Times food columnist Oliver Strand. It can be said that Australians have made great contributions to the spread of boutique coffee around the world.
