Do-it-yourself carving to compare whose coffee is the most beautiful.

On August 31, in the expectation of many coffee users, the coffee class sponsored by the supplement of Life Daily opened again. On a sunny weekend morning, 30 coffee lovers who love life and pursue quality gathered at M.Y.Q Coffee Shop at 504 Hasey Street, listening to a wonderful coffee lecture while learning to make fancy coffee. Lovely cats, brilliant flowers, simple lines. Coffee users are using their brains and creativity to make a variety of lattes one after another. Although the effect is not satisfactory, it still does not prevent people from entertaining themselves and calling it interesting. After a while, everyone posts a moments to show their works, and then they launch a competition to see who makes the best fancy coffee.

Keep your hands steady in carving.

The perfect work of a 10-year-old girl is admired.

At 10:30, the second coffee class officially began. After a brief introduction to the general knowledge of coffee bean selection, Lin you, a coffee lecturer, M.Y.Q coffee owner and barista, entered the core of this class-the learning and making of fancy coffee. Fancy coffee is coffee with seasoning or other drinks. Different styles of coffee can be made according to different tastes. In addition to drawing flowers, you can also draw various patterns with toothpicks or coffee needles dipped in chocolate sauce. "

Then Lin you began to demonstrate the production of fancy coffee. After extracting a cup of Italian concentrate, he uses a machine to beat the milk into a delicate foam, and then slowly pour the foam into the Italian concentrate. "after getting rid of the foam, the density of the foam is relatively small and it will float on the coffee, so we can draw all kinds of patterns we like on the thick foam." He placed the chocolate sauce vertically on the coffee cup, and as his hands moved, three brown hearts appeared on the foam, and with a thin coffee needle, with a gentle stroke, the three independent hearts were connected. Subsequently, Lin you demonstrated the production of sunflowers, wheat ears and other patterns. "it's beautiful" and "amazing". Coffee fans who watched attentively could not restrain their surprise and kept clapping.

"the most important thing about carving is to keep your hands steady. Who wants to have a try?" Lin you said.

"I want to try!" As soon as the words were over, Song Zimeng, 10, the youngest student in this coffee class, raised his hand. After getting the chocolate sauce, she took a deep breath and began to "paint" on the coffee. Although he is young, his hands are very stable, and the rise and fall of chocolate sauce and the stroke and withdrawal of coffee needles all have the air of a barista. When the last stroke was finished, everyone was stunned. "it feels like carving is the same as painting, except that one draws on paper and the other on coffee. It's fun." Song Zimeng said shyly.

Cat, wheat ear, electrocardiogram

The "mash-up wind" is blowing vigorously in the classroom.

With the experience of Song Zimeng's children, other coffee lovers can't wait to show off their skills. "I want to draw a cat, may I?" The cadet "honey" asked timidly. "of course, any pattern is fine as long as you like it." Lin you said.

Honey's hands trembled slightly because of nervousness. Slowly draw a circle as the cat's face, draw two origins as eyes, and gently rub the cat with a beard. Too bad, the chocolate sauce is too crowded, and the cat's beard is burnt into a ball. What should I do? "Honey" looked up and asked for everyone's opinion, "pick it with a coffee needle and assume that the beard is much longer." According to the hint, the "honey" gently picked a few times, and the lovely cat jumped on the coffee. Although the cat looks a little "pitiful", "Honey" still can not put it down, "the coffee made by myself is not very good-looking, but it is still very excited." I really want to keep it forever, but I don't want to drink it. " "Honey" said happily.

People have used their brains to draw all kinds of patterns they like on the coffee, such as wheat ears, electrocardiograms, sunflowers. All kinds of unimaginable patterns appeared in front of everyone's eyes, and I don't know who suggested: "Don't drink it yet, let's see who makes the best coffee."

Expired coffee beans are good for you

Coffee class is really knowledgeable.

The nearly two-hour course ended quickly, and everyone still gathered around Lin you to ask questions. Lin you told everyone that there are expired coffee beans at home, so don't throw them away. Grind the coffee beans into powder, pack them in a cloth bag and put them in the refrigerator. In two or three days, all kinds of odors in the refrigerator will disappear. "it's easier to use than air fresheners."

"in the past, I was in the mood to drink coffee. After attending the coffee class, I found out that there are so many mysteries about coffee. It is really getting more and more classy." Trainee Gang said, "when you get home, buy a milk bubble cup and make a fancy coffee for your family."

Do not regret the coffee controls that have not been reported. The coffee class of Life University supplement will also invite ice city coffee users to continue with the next teaching. interested readers only need to pay attention to Life News University supplement Wechat "45 °North Latitude" and send "I want to sign up for coffee class".
