Today, Vinbarista has "kidnapped" a few Baristas at the VNBC 2018 contest so that they can share some secrets around the contest as well as how to conquer the difficult judges.
And right now, together, let's redefine milk drinks and cappuccino is the brightest representative! Let's find out together now.
Simply put, a cappuccino is a blend of fresh milk that has been whipped through a steam hose combined with espresso. So how to get a cup of cappuccino with the right taste and great resonance between coffee and milk?
If you notice, when you drink a cup of cappuccino, the first sip will be more bitter than the subsequent sips. This is because when making the shaping, the crema layer in the espresso rises to the top, creating a very good contrast between the coffee and milk colors. This contrast will help create a nicer and more balanced look, but it will also make the coffee taste a bit more pungent (this is the point when talking about a coffee with milk, not necessarily with espresso drinks). .
But if you use a spoon to stir the coffee and milk, the cup of coffee will be much more "balanced", making the thickness and richness in the coffee more comfortable. We easily saw this in the last VNBC contest, even when the baristas didn't ask for it, the judges still stirred a few rounds before drinking. The same can be said if you're expecting a well-balanced cappuccino, the shape on the cup may not be very appropriate. However, the baristas in the last VNBC contest had their own way - one that was just right. The shape of the cappuccino cup helps to reduce the bitter taste in the first sip.
By before pouring milk to conduct shaping, the barista poured some milk from the coffee into the coffee cup and shook it well to blend, then they art as usual. This will help remove the bitter taste that we often taste in the first sip when drinking cappuccino, and the color is also much softer.
With just a little sophistication as well as simple operation, the Barista "cheats" and creates a cappuccino that not only looks perfect with beautiful crema but is also full of intoxicating flavor.
