The component of flat white is actually the same as most milk coffees, consisting of milk, milk foam and coffee.

Australian white coffeeThe difference between coffee and latte
Coffee Latter's original meaning in Italian is coffee milk, so the appearance of this cup of coffee is to add a small amount of espresso to the milk. When drinking milk, it has the mellowness of coffee. Therefore, the main flavor of this cup of Italian milk coffee should be that the taste of milk accounts for the majority, and the taste of coffee is secondary. The Australian white coffee and latte are the opposite,Australian white coffeeA small amount of milk is added to double espresso/espresso to highlight the taste of espresso. In terms of taste, the 1cm thickness of the latte milk foam gives people a smooth and delicate feeling in the mouth. After one sip, the sweetness of the milk and the mellowness of the coffee dance in the mouth. The 0.5cm thickness of Australian white coffee gives people a smooth, light and delicate feeling in the mouth. After one sip, the rich coffee runs in the mouth with sweet milk.
Does the thickness and thickness of milk foam affect the taste of coffee?
Common ones include Australian white coffee, latte coffee and cappuccino. The milk foam thickness of Australian white coffee is thin, about 0.5cm thick, with bright surface gloss, strong fluidity, smooth, smooth and light taste; the milk foam thickness of latte coffee is moderate (about 1 cm). cm thick), the surface is shiny, the fluidity is strong but not too loose, and the taste is smooth, delicate, and full; the milk foam of cappuccino is thicker (about 1.5cm thick), the surface gloss is dim, the fluidity is poor, and the taste is dense, solid, and full.
Why do you need to heat milk to froth milk when making milk coffee?
When Front Street makes milk coffee, they use the steam bubbles of the espresso machine to heat and aerate the milk. They use the surface tension of the milk protein to form many small foams. The thickness of these small foams will affect the taste of the entire cup of milk coffee. During the foaming process, lactose dissolves in the milk due to the increase in temperature, and uses the foaming effect to seal the lactose in the milk. The function of the milk fat is to stabilize these tiny foams, so that when the milk is soaked and drank, the tiny foams will burst in the mouth, allowing the taste and aromatic substances to better amplify the dispersion, and give the milk a sweet and thick taste and texture.
Generally, the steam wand can be placed with the cylinder mouth as a fulcrum at 12 o'clock, and the steam wand should be placed in the direction of 2-3 o'clock or 9-10 o'clock of the milk vat. This arrangement allows the steam to rotate as quickly as possible and form a small vortex when the milk is being whipped, which can roll the thicker milk foam into the milk and make the milk dense after being whipped. FrontStreet Coffee recommends that the steam hole extends about 0.5-1cm as a benchmark. If the steam of the coffee machine is too strong and the vortex formed is too large or turbulent, the steam wand can be placed in a slightly deeper position; if the steam of the coffee machine is not strong enough, the steam wand can be placed in a shallow position so that the milk can form a small vortex as quickly as possible without rotating too violently or forming turbulent flow.
How to make Australian White Coffee?
In theory, Australian White Coffee only provides hot drinks, but with market demand, many businesses will launch cold Australian White Coffee. In fact, cold Australian White Coffee is really the same as cold latte coffee, because there is no taste experience.
FrontStreet Coffee will choose a double shot of espresso as the base for making Australian white coffee. 20 grams of coffee powder will extract 35 grams of coffee liquid, and the extraction time is 26 seconds. However, FrontStreet Coffee needs to remind that the extraction plan of each coffee bean will be slightly different. This extraction plan is the extraction parameter adjusted by the barista before opening every day, and is based on the Nuanyang blending plan used in the store.
The whipped part of the milk is only aerated for one second (squeak) or not aerated, and then the milk is heated to 55 degrees Celsius. Finally, just pour the whipped milk into the coffee, and the ratio of coffee to milk will be lower than that of latte. The purpose is to create a rich coffee flavor, so in terms of cup capacity, FrontStreet Coffee chooses a 200 ml cup as its Australian white coffee.
