Coffee Latte Art Tutorial: Creating Exquisite Coffee Art

Coffee latte art is a technique that mixes milk and coffee together and controls the flow of milk to form various patterns on the surface of coffee. It not only enhances the visual effect of coffee, but also increases the taste level and brings pleasant enjoyment. This article will introduce how to create exquisite coffee art through simple steps and techniques.

Preparation

Before we start making latte art, we need to prepare the following materials:

• Freshly ground high quality coffee beans
• High-quality fresh milk
• Professional milk frother or steam machine
• Special glass or ceramic cups suitable for latte art
• Tools such as spoons and olive sticks to assist in operation

Step 1: Brew espresso

First, we need to brew a cup of espresso as the basis for latte art. Use freshly ground high-quality coffee beans, add the required amount to the filter, and brew with an appropriate amount of hot water. After the coffee flows out, pour it into the prepared glass.

Step 2: Make milk foam

Next, we need to make rich and delicate milk foam. Pour high-quality fresh milk into a milk frother or steam machine and heat it to a suitable temperature (about 65-70 degrees Celsius). Then, tap the bottom of the container a few times to remove bubbles, and start to create soft and rich milk foam by rotating and moving the pot.

Step 3: Tilt the glass and pour in the milk

Slightly tilt the prepared glass and slowly pour the whipped milk into the edge. Pay attention to controlling the pouring speed and angle so that the milk and coffee are fully mixed and the milk foam and coffee are layered.

Step 4: Latte art techniques

Now, we come to the most critical step - drawing patterns. Use a spoon or olive stick to gently draw the desired pattern on the surface of the cup. You can try drawing various shapes such as hearts, leaves, flowers, etc. Remember to keep your wrist and arm stable, and control the strength and speed.

Step 5: Finish the work

When your Costa coffee is finished with latte art, you will see a delicate and beautiful coffee art work appear in the glass. At this time, you can admire it for a while, and then use a spoon to gently mix the milk foam with the coffee to increase the taste level.

Summarize

With the simple steps and techniques above, we can create exquisite and delicious coffee art. However, it should be noted that it may take several practices to master the skills before starting to try, and everyone has their own unique style of latte art.
