In January 2015, Starbucks in the United States began selling flat white, and launched it in different capacities. Then in September, Starbucks in mainland China also saw flat white, and used a very elegant translation to call it "Fulibai”. In fact, Fuli White is what everyone calls "Australian White" coffee. It is also a type of Italian coffee. The production method is very similar to cappuccino and latte. This article, FrontStreet Coffee, will let you know the differences between these types of coffee.
Whether it's cappuccino,FulibaiYou can't even have a latte without espresso. Espresso can be said to be the essence of Italian culture, and has gradually integrated into the world's coffee culture. It uses high pressure to push water through finer coffee powder, extracting the coffee crema that is loved by espresso fans.
Then use the extracted espresso with different milk ratios to make espresso. For example, the Fuli White Coffee mentioned by FrontStreet Coffee just now is Australian White Coffee. It has very thin milk foam and extremely smooth taste. It is a drink with a strong coffee flavor. When making it, some people will choose a single shot of espresso or a double shot of espresso, that is, Ristretto.
The reasonFulibaiThe coffee recipe is so different because it originated in New Zealand in the 1970s and 1980s. It is very popular around the world, so it has undergone corresponding changes in the process of spread. For example, New Zealanders like to use Double Ristretto (double super concentrated), and Australians use Single Espresso (single espresso). So you will find that the flavor of each Australian white coffee is very different.
AndFuli white coffeeThe milk foam is very dense and thin, and the temperature of the milk coffee is not too high. You can drink the perfect combination of milk foam and coffee milk underneath in every sip. In addition, Fuli white coffee is usually served hot, so that you can enjoy the taste of Fuli white coffee. However, if ice cubes are added to the Fuli white coffee, the concentration will be diluted by the rapidly melting ice cubes and become an iced latte.
When making the Fuli Blanc, FrontStreet Coffee first extracts espresso, then whips the milk. For the cup, FrontStreet Coffee uses a 180 ml tulip cup, pours the whipped milk into the espresso, blends it until it is eighty full, and then gently pushes it out into a flower shape. becauseFlat whiteThe milk foam is thin and the pattern is easy to lose shape, so it is recommended to make a relatively simple heart-shaped pattern or a dot pattern, or not to make a pattern.
When making cappuccino coffee, it is basically the same asLatteThe production method is the same, first extracting espresso and frothing milk, but it is different from latte. Cappuccino is also divided into dry cappuccino and wet cappuccino. Dry cappuccino has more milk foam and has a rich taste; wet cappuccino has less milk foam and more milk fragrance than dry cappuccino, but both have more milk foam. In China, the latter method is mostly used. Thicker milk foam plus an appropriate amount of milk, the dense taste captures many coffee lovers. FrontStreet Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) believes that cappuccino is like a latte with less milk and thicker milk foam. The taste will be richer than latte. Because the milk foam is thicker, the taste is denser. Therefore, FrontStreet Coffee's customers who like thicker milk foam will generally recommend this cappuccino.
There is also the latte that everyone often orders. Its name "latte" actually means "milk" in Italian. Almost everyone will refer to latte directly as latte. FrontStreet Coffee believes that latte is more like milk with coffee flavor. When making latte, you will find that the ratio of milk to coffee in each latte is different, but generally there is more milk than coffee.
When FrontStreet Coffee makes latte, it is mainly divided into three parts. The first is to extract the espresso, then to whip the milk, and finally to fuse the whipped milk and coffee to make latte art. The Italian blend beans currently used by FrontStreet Coffee stores are sunflower warm sun blends, 60% sherry barrel coffee beans and 40% sun-dried Yirgacheffe. After multiple adjustments, they determined 20 grams of coffee powder, extracted 40 grams of coffee liquid, and the extraction time was 28 seconds.
FrontStreet Coffee's latte cup is 300 ml, which can be poured with 280 ml of milk. The content in the milk vat generally does not exceed 2/3, otherwise the milk will easily overflow during the whipping process. Before whipping the milk, you need to slightly open the steam switch to spray steam to drain the excess water from the steam wand. Then, submerge the steam head of the steam wand into the milk liquid level and turn on the switch.
Then the steam hole is brought into contact with the milk liquid surface. This stage is to create milk froth, which will make a louder sound. This stage determines the thickness of the milk froth. When the thickness of the milk foam is close to the thickness of the latte milk foam, it is time to whip the milk. When enough milk is foamed, the milk vat is lifted up, the steam holes are submerged into the milk, and the milk is rotated and whipped under the action of steam. This stage determines the quality of the milk foam. After whipping, you need to open the steam vent and rinse away the milk remaining inside. Generally, the milk foam surface of latte coffee is shiny and bubble-free. The thickness of the milk foam is moderate, about 1 cm, and the milk foam has a certain fluidity. Finally, combine the whipped milk and the extracted espresso to create a fragrant hot latte.
Of course, there's also an iced latte. Compared with hot latte, making iced latte is very simple. For FrontStreet Coffee, you usually pre-cool the cup with ice cubes, pour 100 grams of ice cubes, 180 grams of milk, and finally pour in espresso, and stir evenly when drinking.
All in all, latte is more like milk with a coffee flavor, while Fruita is more like coffee with milk flavor and very thin foam and smooth taste, while cappuccino is a coffee drink with rich coffee flavor and dense taste. Everyone can choose according to their favorite taste.
