Technical introduction to the causes of failure of Coffee pattern

Introduction to coffee

Coffee flower is divided into two processes, namely: flower and carved. Flower-pulling involves pouring frothed milk into espresso coffee, mixing the two foams to form a unique pattern. Carving, however, as the name suggests, is to use coffee needles, excess milk bubbles or chocolate sauce to draw more delicate patterns on the coffee surface. Coffee carving art can now draw a more complex character's face or cartoon characters. More prominent is the coffee carving with Kiki as the theme of Miyazaki Hayao's "Witch's Home Express".

1. Production of milk foam

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

Heat the milk to about 60 degrees, but not more than 70 degrees, otherwise the protein structure in the milk will be destroyed. Attention! Cover and strainer should not be heated directly. (If making ice milk foam, cool the milk to below 5 degrees, of course, do not over-ice and let the milk freeze.)

3, the cover and filter cover, quickly twitch the filter to press the air into the milk, do not need to press to the end when twitching, because it is to put the air into the milk, so as long as the action on the surface of the milk can be; the number of times does not need to be too much, gently twitch about thirty times.

4. Remove the lid and strainer, scrape off the thick milk bubbles on the surface with a spoon, leaving behind dense hot (ice) milk bubbles.

Leaves of plants. Because it's attractive, someone has developed other patterns based on this, so you'll also see hearts or tulips and so on.

Preparation

Espresso Coffee: Since the Latte coffee we use to make flowers is made from Espresso, a cup of extracted Espresso is also essential. After all, this is a drink to be eaten rather than a purely ornamental art. We still have to ensure the quality of its entrance. In this way, in the process of doing practice pull flowers, the failure of 10 cups will not be wasted, after all, the quality of pull flowers will not affect the taste of coffee, if you want to make pure Espresso, be sure to use pump coffee machine.

use of raw materials

Do not use skim milk, because skim milk contains too little fat, so the taste of milk foam will be much worse than the whole milk steam bubble machine or manual milk bubble pot: what is milk foam? Foaming is the product of a fine mixture of milk and air. Foaming is made by pumping air into milk. The principle is simple, but it is not a simple matter to really make a cup of dense and detailed milk foam. The most common problem is that too much air enters the milk, creating too thick hard milk foam, which floats on the surface and cannot be fully mixed with coffee, so you don't enjoy the fine texture of milk foam and coffee when drinking. It is recommended that you use a steam milk frother to make milk foam, which will make the process easier. Fortunately, many pump coffee machines now have this function built in, such as Delong BAR14 (single pump type, need to make coffee first and then milk foam), Delong EAM4000 (double pump type, can make coffee and milk foam at the same time) pointed mouth pull flower cup (milk tank): this thing is the most easily overlooked one, although he is not eye-catching, but the role is not small. First of all, the milk foam has a high temperature requirement, and only when it is 60~80 degrees will it produce good quality milk foam, so you can feel the temperature of the milk through the stainless steel milk tank. Second, in the production of flower pull style, the small sharp mouth is like a painter's brush
