Nowadays, although more and more coffee categories are brought in cafes, milk-based coffee products are still the most popular. According to a number of surveys, lattes have always been the top two coffee sellers, but by 2018, a style called Flat white (Australian and White Coffee), like a dark horse, was close to the ranking of lattes!

It is reported that the sales of Australian white coffee increased by 56% in 2018 compared with the same period last year! Why Australian white coffee coffee is suddenly popular, and what kind of coffee is Australian white coffee coffee? Next, let's talk about this "milk coffee dark horse" in front of the street coffee!

Where is Australian white coffee sacred?

As to where Australian white coffee comes from, both Australia and New Zealand say it belongs to them, so there will be a long debate about whether Australian white coffee comes from Australia or New Zealand.

An Australian cafe owner once said that he had the word "Flat White" on his menu in the mid-1980s. He said Flat White appeared because many people liked to add a small amount of heated milk to their espresso at that time.

At first, the coffee shop made Flat white using double ristretto (essence espresso) and milk heated with steam and whipped out a small amount of foam. Without latte art, the drink is poured directly into a small ceramic cup filled with espresso, leaving white milk bubbles on the surface, so it is named Flat white.

But this claim was questioned by a New Zealander, saying that he created FLat white! It was when he tried to make cappuccino coffee for his customers as a barista that he made a mistake and thinned the milk foam, so he invented Flat white.

Whether Flat white was invented in Australia or New Zealand, one thing is certain: since 2017, it has become one of the increasingly popular coffee products around the world!

Qianjie Coffee believes that the more important reason why people love this product so much is that it has a stronger coffee flavor than other milk coffee, and it is easier for the public to accept than espresso.

Characteristics of Australian White Coffee

With the development of boutique coffee industry, cafes pay more attention to the patterns presented on milk coffee in order to attract more consumers after the millennium. Australian White Coffee has also changed from adding a small amount of milk with thin milk to the essence of espresso to blend milk and coffee to create a simple flower pattern, but the overall weight has not changed much.

Compared to the latte, Australian white coffee will be less, about 3oz (100ml), so it is a milk coffee with strong coffee flavor. Australian white coffee will suddenly become popular in recent years, because more and more consumers of milk coffee gradually pursue the performance of coffee flavor under the influence of the culture of boutique coffee. Even if milk is added, it is also used as an auxiliary material to sublimate the flavor.

How to make Australian white coffee

Friends who have read the article carefully have noticed that Australian White Coffee is made with a coffee liquid called "essence ristretto". Is it any different from conventional espresso Espresso?

In fact, the difference between the two is that the concentration of espresso is higher than that of conventional espresso. under the same extraction parameters, espresso will shorten the extraction time and reduce the amount of espresso.

Qianjie Coffee shops extract espresso espresso, usually using "Qianjie-sunflower warm Italian blend of coffee beans". This coffee bean is made of 70% Honduran sherry beans + 30% Ethiopian sun-dried Yejafei red cherry beans with strong fermented wine, vanilla cream, roasted nuts and caramel flavor.

Qianjie Coffee is produced daily using ordinary espresso (lattes, American styles, and cappuccinos are all made using Espresso). Coffee in a powder-to-liquid ratio of around 1:2 is usually extracted at a pressure of 9-10bar. In general, a single espresso will use 9-11g coffee powder, extract about 15-25g coffee liquid, double espresso will use 18-20g coffee powder, extract to eat 35-45g coffee liquid, the less coffee liquid extracted, the higher the coffee concentration.

Ristretto is actually espresso with a smaller percentage of extraction. Therefore, Qianjie Coffee will use the same degree of grinding and powder as espresso. The less coffee liquid is extracted, the higher the extraction time will be. Generally, the ratio of powder to liquid extracted is about 1VR 1.6.

One thing to pay attention to! The strength of espresso does not mean that the coffee flavor is stronger, but the overall taste of the coffee liquid (sweet, sour and bitter). If it is too strong, it is easy to show a sharp / bitter taste, so in the process of making essence espresso, it is necessary to adjust the use of powder and the time of extraction.

The production proportion of Australian white coffee

To make Australian white coffee, the extraction parameter of Qianjie essence espresso is 19.8g powder to extract 30g coffee liquid, which takes 27 seconds (the performance of each bean grinder and coffee machine is different, not 100% according to this parameter).

The cup of 100ml is used and the extract espresso is added to blend the hot milk with the coffee. Its flavor is full-bodied fermented wine, the acidity of berries is obviously sweet after the hot milk is added, and the aftertaste is the sweetness of caramel chocolate.

What is Dirty coffee?

Dirty coffee also uses essence espresso, but this product emphasizes the use of frozen milk with high milk fat content, frozen cups, and espresso to float on the milk meter, so you need to use an ice cup to fill the ice milk and catch the extracted espresso directly at close range.

Dirty is varied in taste, from strong to light, from deep to shallow, the first sip is full-bodied coffee, the last sip is sweet, so do not drink Dirty for too long, do not stir to drink, if you can try to finish a cup of Dirty, experience the gradual charm ~
