The existence of coffee fat is an important factor in the formation of coffee flower.

When you look at the coffee fat under an optical microscope, you can see that it contains bubbles, fat particles and some solid particles such as fragments of the cell wall of coffee beans.

The hot milk used to make coffee flowers is also pre-treated. Through stirring or other methods, the surface of the hot milk forms a layer of milk and air mixed micro-foam (Microfoam).

How to make the foam of milk more and more lasting can also become a subject of scientific research. @ Yun inadvertently did such research, as evidenced by the cappuccino bubble recorded in the laboratory.

In the process of mixing hot milk and espresso, we have two kinds of foam mixed together, one is the mixture of air and milk on the surface of milk, and the other is the mixture of fat, gas and espresso on the surface of espresso. These two kinds of foam are relatively stable, the foam of coffee fat can usually last about 10 minutes, and the foam formed by milk and air can also last for several minutes.

After these two kinds of foams are mixed together, because their particles are very large (both micron-sized) and squeeze together, the diffusion process of the particles is very slow, without stirring. The mixing rate between the two bubbles will be very slow, so the boundary between the bubbles will remain clear for a long time. In this way, the pattern made when the barista pours the milk can be kept for long enough for customers to appreciate.

So the coffee flower is actually a mixture of two foams (not liquids). After knowing this, when I look at the coffee flowers, apart from admiration, does it add another feeling?

Some readers may ask, why do bubbles have to be mixed together, but not liquids of different colors?

If there is no foam, when we pour milk into coffee, they are not immediately evenly mixed with each other. Although in detail there are still micron-sized particles inside the two liquids, these particles are not close to each other, and the particles account for only a small part of the liquid and do not have the stability of foam. Therefore, the interface of the mixing of these two kinds of liquids is not only because the internal liquid flow is very unstable, but also becomes blurred quickly because of diffusion, which can not be made into a flower-pulling pattern.

And what we're going to talk about here is the coffee flower thing, it's over.
