The origin of coffee pulling flowers

There is no clear literature about the origin of coffee flowering.

It showed difficult professional skills, however, this innovative skill shocked the coffee industry at that time.

From the beginning, it attracted the attention of the public, and everyone was deeply attracted by the magical and dazzling skills of coffee pulling flowers.

At first, coffee was pulled, and most attention was paid to the presentation of patterns.

After a long period of development, coffee is not only for visual enjoyment,

The strong taste of milk foam and the way and skill of fusion have been continuously improved.

It also pays more attention to nutrition, and then achieves the so-called color, fragrance and taste in the overall taste presentation.

Classification of coffee pulling flowers

There are various forms of coffee painting, which can be roughly divided into three categories:

First, direct casting molding method

Direct pouring molding method is to use foamed milk and quickly pour it into espresso. After milk, milk foam and espresso are mixed to a certain saturation state, various patterns are formed by hand shaking control techniques.

For example:? The pattern of conch

The shape of conch was changed from circular shaking mode to blade shaking mode, and the shape of conch was finally presented in a curved route with the help of circular moving skills and the control of shaking amplitude.

1. When the cup is seven minutes full, put the steel cup on the edge of the cup in front of the cup, lean sideways and tilt the cup.

2、? Put down the steel cup, and then start to shake it from side to side, resulting in a pattern line.

3、? The steel cup moves backward in an arc shape until the shaking amplitude of the cup edge decreases.

4、? The steel cup moves forward in an arc, pulling the lines of the pattern.

5、? The steel cup moves backward in an arc, pulling the lines of the pattern.
