Skills of Coffee flower drawing

Coffee, an alien species, is now loved by more and more people. Drinking coffee is not only a health but also a fashion. Let's take a look at how baristas make a perfect cup of coffee flowers.

There is no clear definition of coffee fest in the coffee industry, it can only be said that it evolved from cappuccino and latte, but it has become one of the most popular forms of artistic expression in the world. Today, the "Word barista competition" (WBS) World Coffee pull Competition, known as the Olympic Games in the coffee industry, is held in the United States every year.

Let's learn how to make a cup of coffee. First of all, you have to prepare the following equipment and utensils: a semi-automatic coffee machine, two jars, a coffee cup, the right amount of coffee beans, and a carton of milk.

One: utensils

1. Professional coffee machine: nowadays more and more families have coffee machines, but do you know? Coffee machine is also divided into: fully automatic coffee machine and semi-automatic coffee machine.

What is a fully automatic coffee machine, which realizes the automatic control of the whole process of brewing coffee, such as grinding, pressing, loading, brewing, removing residue and so on.

What is semi-automatic coffee machine, semi-automatic coffee machine is a traditional Italian coffee machine, the operation of semi-automatic coffee machine requires manual grinding, pressing, loading, brewing, manual removal of residue and other procedures.

two。 Looking for the flower jar: the flower jar should be made of stainless steel and have a backflow nozzle with a general capacity of 600 ml. You can't choose a household water cup.

3. Ceramic coffee cup: the capacity of the coffee cup is generally not too large, the best choice is ceramic thick wall, here we choose a cup with a capacity of 200ml.

4. Suitable coffee beans: coffee beans can be bought online, but remember to choose Italian coffee beans! Here I would like to recommend two famous Italian coffee brands: Italian illy coffee beans and Rabasa lavazza coffee beans.

5. Qualified milk: it is best to choose whole milk or pure milk, pay attention to milk fat content in 100ml more than 3 grams.

Second, preparation:

1: extract coffee liquid

You don't need too much coffee liquid to make coffee broccoli, the standard is 20-30 milliliters of coffee liquid, and the surface of the coffee liquid should be covered with reddish brown foam.

2: make milk foam

Pour 300ml milk into the flower jar and use the steam sprinkler of the coffee machine to heat and foam. the temperature of the successful milk foam should be 65 ~ 70 degrees, and the milk foam is dense and delicate without large bubbles.

Third: pull flower chapter

1. How to draw flowers in heart shape

[heart-shaped flower drawing skills]

The ① is selected and the injection point is about 3 parts of the cup mouth.

At the beginning of ② injection, a small flow rate is used, and the grease is punctured to stabilize the flow rate.

③ small flow into the fusion, until the coffee cup is 5 minutes full.

After the "whitening point" appears in the ④, increase the traffic and maintain it.

The ⑤ maintains an increased flow and shakes the vat left and right, arm and wrist coordination.

When ⑥ shakes, it is at the selected point, do not go back.

⑦ to improve the pull vat, small flow straight-line ending.

two。 Detailed explanation of heart-shaped flower drawing technology

1. 1But 3 selected points to inject, coffee cup tilt 10-15 degrees, first raise the vat about 10 centimeters into the milk foam to pierce the grease.

two。 By lowering the sculpt jar, the mouth of the sprocket can be pressed close to the mouth of the coffee cup to keep the flow rate swaying left and right. When shaking, the zigzag sloshing distance of 1cm should be controlled to form a hierarchical sense of milk foam.

3. At this time, as the flower jar continues to shake the heart will continue to increase, pay attention to maintain the foam flow at this time. When shaking, do not pull the vat back, when the grease will automatically form a round shape.

4. With the increase of milk bubbles in the cup, slowly flatten the cup when injected, the purpose of shaking the vat left and right is to increase the hierarchical sense of the heart shape, the more the number of left and right shaking, the more layers we have, the more beautiful our flower will be.

5. When the milk in the cup is 8 minutes full, put the coffee cup flat, ready to increase the flower jar, and reduce the amount of milk foam at the same time.

6. Raise the vat with a small flow when it is nearly 9 minutes full, and at this time the injection point is the heart-shaped central point.

⑦. Increase the flower jar and reduce the flow rate and amount of milk.

⑧. The foam takes in a small flow from the centerline to the end of the cup, and a standard cappuccino must make the coffee liquid about 0.5 cm higher than the mouth of the cup so that it is full without overflowing.

⑨. At this point, you will find that the thickness of the milk foam in the coffee cup is 1-1.5 cm. Congratulations on the completion of the heart shape of a perfect cappuccino coffee.
