Coffee latte art making process explained

Coffee latte art is an artistic coffee making technique that makes the milk in the coffee cup more beautiful by drawing various shapes and patterns on the milk. The following will introduce in detail how to make coffee latte art.

Preparation

First, we need to prepare the following materials and equipment:

Fresh milk
High-quality espresso
A steam machine or manual frother
A container suitable for latte art (such as a stainless steel pot with a pointed mouth)
A glass or ceramic mug
A stirring stick or spoon
Tips:
- Milk should be refrigerated before use as it provides better stability.
Step 1: Froth the milk
- First, pour an appropriate amount of milk into a container.
- Then, place the steamer or manual frother into the milk and start frothing it.
- When frothing, keep the nozzle at a certain depth above the milk surface to avoid producing too many large bubbles.
- Stop beating when the mixture reaches the desired consistency and gently tap the bottom of the container to remove any air bubbles that may be present.
Step 2: Make coffee
- Prepare a high-quality espresso. You can use an espresso pot or any other method that suits your taste.
- Pour hot water into the espresso pot and add the appropriate amount of ground coffee. Then place the espresso pot on the fire to rinse and heat it.
- When you hear a "sizzling" sound, the coffee is ready. You can turn off the heat and pour the espresso into a glass.

Step 3: Latte art techniques
Next comes the most important, interesting and challenging part, which is the latte art technique.
- First, slowly pour the frothed milk into the coffee cup. Be careful to control the pouring speed and angle so that a good base is formed on the surface of the coffee.
- Then, tap the bottom of the coffee cup gently with your fingers to remove any bubbles that may be present and to allow the milk to blend better with the coffee.
- Now comes the key step: Use a stirring stick or spoon to draw various shapes and patterns on the surface of the milk. You can try making hearts, leaves, flowers, etc.
Step 4: Enjoy

The last step is to enjoy the delicious latte art you made yourself!
- Place the finished coffee cup upright on the table and gently savour its rich and sweet flavour.
