The art of choosing a latte art jar

BY Latte Artist EV Latte Art Tube Designer Leeo

Coffee latte art has become the primary factor for many coffee lovers and practitioners to get started. The seemingly simple coffee latte art, from the coffee machine to the milk coffee beans, and then to the barista's production. As the saying goes: "A good horse deserves a good saddle". Latte art pitchers are the key tool for making a good cup of coffee. From time to time, friends ask for recommendations for affordable and easy-to-use latte art pitchers. There are a wide variety of latte art pitchers on the market. Today, I will share an article about the in-depth analysis of latte art pitchers, which will provide a basis for novices to choose, and also serve as a reference for all masters, so that we can play together in the cool world of latte art.

Weight selection

The weight of the coffee latte art pitcher determines the ease of adjusting the swing frequency , the control of inertia , and occupational strain (which can be ignored for people with strong hands). This is really not an exaggeration. Once, a female student of mine took a very heavy coffee latte art pitcher and said that it had a strong texture. She practiced for half a day but couldn't move it anymore. Her hands were swollen the next day. In the long run, it will cause damage to the wrists and joints, that is, strain.

EV1 replica weight: about 210g

So is it recommended to choose a heavier or lighter drawing pot?

I usually choose a lightweight latte art pitcher that is usually around 250g, which is more comfortable. This way, you can control it more easily in the early stages of making the art. It gives you greater control and you can give a certain amount of milk foam and any swing frequency at will. The inertia of the milk foam can also be easily controlled .

A very heavy latte art pitcher, which can be distinguished by the thickness of the stainless steel body. Generally, latte art pitchers with thicker bodies are heavier. I always dislike this type of pitcher.

Size Selection

In the world or on the market, there are three basic categories of latte art pitchers: 300ML, 600-750ML, and 1000ML. There is basically no need to discuss the mini and giant types.

Why do we choose 600-750ML latte art pitcher for latte art?

First of all, the 300ml latte art pitcher is generally used to make small cups, within 150ml. If it is larger, the pattern will be too tiring, and it will not satisfy you. For example, in the WLAC finals, we often see 300ml latte art pitchers, which are used to make 90ml macchiato cups. If you push 10 or 12 tulips, you will look proud of the 300ml pitcher. Of course, you can also use a 600ml latte art pitcher instead.

In addition, the 300ML latte art pitcher can also be used to froth milk. There is no need to buy a 350ML pitcher. The 300ML pitcher is small and the frothed milk has a high degree of fusion (evenly mixed and uniform overall). Of course, remember not to make too much steam when frothing. If you use a Pegasus E61, the milk will fly out of the latte art pitcher with a chirping sound.

Second, the 600ML-700ML latte art pot is generally used to make coffee "magic" latte art , which is very complicated 10 or 20 leaves or wings. Some students are very entangled and must use a 300ML pot to make 10 leaves. As a pure physics, mathematics and actuarial science uncle, I tell you clearly that you must not delay the milk. Please put aside the 300ML pot. Don't choose a 300ML pot because it is delicate. Change to a 600ML-700ml pot, which is easier to shape. This capacity latte art pot is suitable for 80-400 cups. It is a universal cup.

Mouth size and eversion

Speaking of mouth shapes, there are big mouths, small mouths, pointed mouths, crane mouths... There are too many mouth shapes for latte art pots on the market.

The big mouth is suitable for: embossing, push-heart, tulip, big leaves. Regular patterns, can't do fine work, the mouth is too big.

Small mouth is suitable for: embossing, push heart, tulip, big leaves, small leaves. Small leaves refer to an element of the combination picture.

From the comparison above, I have abandoned Big Mouth for a year .

Speaking of pointed mouths, there are not many of this type of latte art pots on the market. It doesn’t matter whether the mouth is pointed or not, the key is the size .

Next, let me tell you the key point: the outward turning of the mouth of the lathe cylinder can make your finishing very comfortable, comfortable, comfortable, and important to say three times. It is very comfortable to make combinations or embossing .

Finally, what is the crane beak? It is the mouth shape used by a Japanese girl to win the world championship. It has disappeared from the market and no one uses it anymore. Her drawing speed was really scary back then. The highlight today is that the surface is very smooth, but the details are still a lot lacking. Compared with many domestic latte art masters, the technical level is already a bit behind.

Selection of diversion area length

The diversion area is the length from the nozzle to the middle belly, which has a significant impact on the latte art.

So what does the short and long diversion area determine?

The diversion area is short, the milk foam flows out slowly, and the picture can be produced stably. For example, the diversion area of ​​EV2 is short and very comfortable.

The longer the diversion area, the faster the milk foam flows out, and the faster the milk foam can be produced, the more likely it is that the milk foam will be stratified, such as the EV1 replica. However, this does not mean that a shorter one will cause stratification.

Like the EV1 replica 600ml, the diversion area is very long. Many friends can't control it. They say it doesn't show the picture or something like that. Generally speaking, it's because the flow rate is too fast and directly penetrates the surface, or there is too little fusion .

Handle selection

Regarding the handle, first of all, it depends on your grip. You can grasp it, you can pinch it, and the most important thing is to hold it firmly . I often demonstrate the no-grasp method in class, and the pictures are still exquisite and elegant. It mainly depends on whether you can hold the cylinder firmly, smoothly, and not awkwardly. In addition, you should pay attention to the handle, the force point, don't just tap it with your orchid finger and miss it. Use your fingers to fit the latte art cylinder. The latte art cylinder with a bar version similar to EV2 can allow you to add more force points and make latte art more steadily. So you can do whatever you want when you are one with the cylinder .

So, in general, what kind of tank should you choose? The weight of this tank must be suitable for swinging and dosing, the size of this tank must take into account the cup shape of the store, the mouth of this tank must cover or excel in a certain type of pattern production, the diversion area of ​​this tank must be controllable and flexibly adjusted, and the handle of this tank must be comfortable, comfortable, and comfortable to hold!

The above latte art patterns are all made with the EV1 replica. Are you moved after seeing them?
