Why do we need to make beautiful latte art on coffee?

Coffee is always associated with romance.

When lovers meet, they always have to go to a coffee shop. The afternoon sun shines through the window onto their faces, looking very soft. Holding a cup of sweet coffee, looking at each other's gentle cheeks, it seems as if time has stopped... This is a scene that appears in most movies. Whenever I see it, I always feel it is very romantic.

This is not only the charm of coffee, but also the charm of coffee art.

Latte art interpretation

The English name of coffee latte art is Latte Art.

First of all, the coffee must be espresso, usually only 30ml, with a beautiful layer of crema on top;

Secondly, the milk must be heated and whipped using the coffee machine's steam nozzle to produce fine and dense milk foam;

Finally, the barista uses a latte art cup with a pointed spout to skillfully pour the milk foam into the cup of espresso, and forms patterns such as hearts or leaves by shaking his hands;

A glass of Latte that can be called Art is completed.

Origin of Latte Art

In fact, it has been less than 30 years since coffee latte art was “discovered”.

It is said that in 1988, there was a small coffee shop in Seattle that was very popular. Every morning, people who came here to take a cup of coffee to go to work would line up. Once, when he was making take-out lattes for customers and adding milk, a beautiful heart shape was formed on the coffee. This inspired David and he began to study the pattern-forming techniques of lattes. This coffee shop became more popular, and this technique spread in the coffee industry, leading the consumption trend of the entire coffee industry.

The meaning of latte art

A cup of coffee with beautiful latte art is more attractive to consumers than a cup of dark American coffee, especially the sweet taste brought by the perfect blend of milk and coffee, which is easy to drink and has a long aftertaste. Latte art brings people closer to coffee.

Basic shapes: hearts and leaves

The heart shape is the most basic shape of coffee latte art, and it is also a shape that every coffee latte art lover must master. Playing latte art starts with the "heart" , and every barista should remember this sentence. Moreover, heart-shaped latte art can express feelings very well. Ordering a heart-shaped latte for your beloved is the most popular in coffee shops.

The advanced form of the heart shape is the leaf, which is also the basis for the endless changes of shapes. The heart shape plus the leaf is the tulip, and the leaf plus the leaf is the wreath...
