Learn the simple tutorial of coffee latte art

Coffee latte art is a technique of pouring milk into a coffee cup and controlling the flow of milk to form beautiful patterns on the surface of the coffee. It not only increases the visual effect of the coffee, but also improves the taste and flavor. The following is a simple tutorial to help you learn how to make beautiful coffee latte art.

Prepare tools and materials

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

• Freshly ground coffee beans
• A laser thermometer
• A milk frother or a Bluetooth manual milk frother
• A filter and filter pot suitable for your brewing method (e.g. V60, French press, etc.)
• Fresh whole milk or soy/coconut/oat alternatives (whole milk makes it easier to get stable and dense milk waves)
• A coffee cup suitable for pouring milk
• A small pot and a thermometer (for heating the milk)
• A piping bag and several different shaped piping tips (optional)

Step 1: Brew coffee

First, choose the right method and recipe to brew coffee according to your taste. In this process, you need to pay attention to controlling the water temperature, water volume and brewing time to ensure high-quality coffee.

Step 2: Froth the milk

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and use a laser thermometer to measure the temperature of the milk. Turn the heat to medium and heat the milk until it reaches 60-65 degrees Celsius. Be careful not to let the milk boil.

Next, use a manual milk frother or an automatic milk frother to frother the milk into a dense and stable milk wave. If you are a beginner, you can choose to use a Bluetooth manual milk frother to help you better master the skills.

Step 3: Pour into the latte art cup

Pour the brewed coffee into a cup suitable for latte art, and then gently pour the whipped milk into the coffee cup. During this process, you can try different tilt angles and speeds to control the flow of milk.

Step 4: Practice basic patterns

Beginners can start practicing with simple patterns, such as hearts, leaves, etc. First, create a small vortex on the surface of the coffee, and then pour the milk into it obliquely with a steady and even hand gesture. As the milk mixes with the coffee, you will see beautiful patterns emerge.

Step 5: Try advanced techniques

Once you have mastered the basic techniques, you can try some more complex and difficult latte art techniques, such as flowers, spirals, etc. These advanced techniques require more practice and patience to master.

Summarize

Learning how to make coffee art takes time and patience, and you need to constantly explore and improve your skills through practice. I hope that through this simple tutorial, you can master the basic coffee art techniques and enjoy a beautiful and delicious cup of coffee at home.
