At FrontStreet Coffee, you will see espresso machines filled with large and small ceramic cups, and these cups have specific meanings. Different types of coffee cups are used for different types of coffee. This article from Front Street will tell you the secrets in these coffee cups.
coffee cup size
There are roughly three sizes of coffee cups at FrontStreet Coffee, and these three sizes can roughly judge the strength of a cup of coffee. Generally, the smaller the volume, the stronger the coffee inside.
Small coffee cup
The small coffee cup on Front Street Street is a small white ceramic cup with a capacity of about 60ml. This small cup is generally used for espresso coffee. FrontStreet Coffee's espresso uses its own brand of Front Street Sunflower Warm Italian Blend coffee beans. The amount of powder for one cup is 20g, and 40g of espresso liquid is extracted in 28 seconds. The coffee liquid with golden coffee oil can just fill this small cup, which looks particularly beautiful. A small ceramic cup has the best heat preservation effect when it is just filled with espresso, allowing the coffee to last longer.
In addition to being used for espresso, the small cup is also used as a sharing cup for single-origin Pour over(V60) coffee.
medium coffee cup
Front Street’s medium-sized coffee cup is a relatively tall ceramic cup with a capacity of about 180ml-200ml. This medium-sized cup is generally used to serve American coffee and cappuccino.
AmericanoFront Street uses 40g of espresso liquid and 160g of hot water, the ratio is 1:4. Forming a beautiful cup of black coffee, the espresso made with the Front Street Sunflower Warm Sun blend is paired with 4 times the amount of water to highlight the aroma of vanilla, cream, chocolate, and sherry in this cup of coffee.
Cappuccino Front Street uses 20g of espresso and 160ml of thick foamed steamed milk. After frothing the milk, pour it into the coffee to form a raised 11-minute peak with white milk foam in the center and a golden circle around it. It resembles the priest's turban of the Franciscan Church, hence the name "Cappuccino", which means priest's turban. The thick coffee foam, coupled with the strong coffee flavor, satisfies the taste and taste buds.
Large coffee cup
The large coffee cup of Front Street is a 300ml standard ceramic coffee cup. Used to produce latte coffee, mocha coffee, etc. The latte produced by FrontStreet Coffee has a coffee-to-milk ratio of 1:6.5, 40ml espresso: 260ml hot milk. Mix the milk and espresso in a circular motion to get a hot latte. The heating of fresh milk produces a better release of the sweet molecules of lactose. After mixing evenly with the espresso, the whole latte has the sweet taste of milk, which does not steal the limelight of the espresso. On the contrary, the flavor of the espresso is better reflected in the background of the milk. The flavor of Front Street's hot latte is as follows: the aroma of whiskey, the acidity of lactose and coffee collide to create a milkshake-like sweetness, and the aftertaste is like hazelnut and other nuts.
In a large-mouthed coffee cup, baristas can more easily create exquisite latte art patterns. Latte coffee that is fully blended with latte art will satisfy your taste buds and mood.
