Teach you the simplest coffee latte art skills. Drink coffee and practice latte art at the same time

Today, I will introduce to you some simple coffee latte art techniques. If you feel you are dexterous, why not give them a try? These techniques are easy to learn and understand.

1. Hand-drawn graphics method

It is to use the white dots or irregular shapes produced during the blending of espresso, milk and milk foam, and use toothpicks or needles to draw various shapes on the surface of the coffee. Most of the shapes can be divided into two types. One is regular geometric shapes, which are mostly made by using various colored sauces on the surface of the blended coffee, first drawing basic lines, and then using toothpicks or needles to draw various regular geometric shapes. The other is concrete patterns, such as portraits, cats, dogs, pandas and other animal shapes.

Most of them are sprinkled with cocoa powder on the surface of espresso, then pour in milk and milk foam to blend, and shake the wrist slightly during blending to form a wavy pattern on the surface of the coffee, and then use a toothpick or needle to dip in cocoa powder or chocolate and other sauces to draw various concrete patterns on the surface of the coffee with the circular wavy pattern as the base. These hand-drawn pattern methods are not as difficult as the direct pouring method. As long as you grasp some details, you can make very beautiful hand-drawn patterns.

2. Screen Graphics Method

The principle is very simple. Generally speaking, it can be divided into two ways. The first way is to let the milk stand for about 30 seconds after foaming to allow a certain degree of separation between the milk and the milk foam. Then use a spoon to block part of the milk foam to allow the milk and espresso to blend first. Then use a spoon to cover the milk foam on the surface of the coffee to form a snow-white surface. Then use a screen or sieve engraved with various graphics or words, place it about 1 cm away from the surface of the coffee, sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon powder on various screens and sieves to make various graphics or words appear on the surface of the coffee.

The second method is similar to the first method, but the difference is that after the milk is frothed, do not wait, let the milk foam and espresso blend directly, and be especially careful not to produce white milk foam on the surface of the coffee. Then use screens and meshes engraved with various graphics or words, place them about 1cm away from the surface of the coffee, and sprinkle white sugar powder through various screens and meshes to make various graphics or words appear on the surface.

The screen pattern method is the simplest of all coffee latte art techniques. You can carve out a variety of patterns or words on the screen yourself, or you can combine it with simple hand-painted patterns to create more interesting patterns.
