Technical and technological maps in a coffee shop: everything you need to know

What is a coffee card

The coffee list is essentially the same menu as in cafes and restaurants, only all sorts of variations of drinks come first in the coffee shop list. The map of your establishment can contain any number of positions - from tens to hundreds, but, in any case, you need to start with the most popular and simple drinks.

A small assortment is not a minus for the establishment. It’s hard to surprise with a menu with a huge selection, and many successful coffee shops offer 10-15 types of coffee on their menu, but even respectable restaurants can envy the quality of these drinks

Clarification.

You don't have to limit yourself to just drinks when creating a map. Despite the name “coffee shop”, it would be appropriate to indicate other items on the card, for example, desserts and snacks.

How to make cappuccino coffee using a coffee machine

The type of cappuccino you get in a coffee machine is not affected by its power, volume and number of stations (the station is the part of the coffee machine where the holder (portafilter) is installed, plus the holder itself with the filter).
The type of machine and the type of cappuccino maker, as well as the possibility of warming up the mugs, have a direct impact on the taste and quality. For those who love cappuccino, but do not know anything about making it, you can give preference to a fully automatic coffee machine. But the most delicious cappuccino is obtained in a semi-automatic machine, where all operations must be controlled.

The quality of the drink's foam depends on the type of cappuccino maker. As with a coffee machine, they come in automatic and semi-automatic varieties. Professionals recommend using a semi-automatic option, where the foam is whipped manually, but this is done using hot steam from a cappuccino machine.

It is important that the container is warmed up before pouring espresso into the cup. To do this, the upper part of the coffee machine is heated, since cups for the drink need to be placed in them.

What should be included in a coffee card

Cards in coffee shops are drawn up according to one of two basic principles:

• indicate different types of coffee drinks with a list of the ingredients from which they are prepared;
• also indicate the range of drinks, but with the possibility for the visitor to choose specific ingredients and their proportions from which the drink will be prepared.

The first option is more convenient for coffee-to-go establishments, where the barista does not have time to answer clarifying questions from visitors about the types of coffee and other features of the drinks. The second option is suitable for atmospheric establishments with higher prices than in mini-coffee shops.

Beverages

The coffee list of almost any coffee shop can be divided into four sections:

• black coffee (espresso, ristretto, Americano);
• coffee with milk is usually the most popular item in any establishment (cappuccino, latte, flat white);
• signature drink options - the opportunity to come up with special items for which customers will return again and again;
• an alternative to the usual drinks prepared in a coffee machine: coffee in a cezve, in a French press, in an Aeropress.

Complex types of drinks are usually accompanied by a detailed description and photo. Clarification.

If you have recently opened, it is enough to include only the first two items in your coffee list: black coffee and coffee with milk. The remaining items can be added later or dispensed with altogether if you do not plan to expand the range.

Exclusive offers and promotions

It is appropriate to announce exclusive offers and promotions from your establishment on the last page. Offers can be anything - discounts on certain items, complex signature cocktails, caffeine-free drinks and much more - the main thing is that the coffee shop’s promotions are interesting to your target audience.

Dessert

The list of desserts can be indicated after listing the main items - all possible options for coffee drinks. For the convenience of guests who adhere to a healthy lifestyle and watch their figure, supplement the description of each dessert with a list of its ingredients and indicate the calorie content of the serving.

Clarification.

If your coffee shop also offers snacks to visitors, list the range of dishes after desserts.

Filling the card as the cooking complexity increases

The principle “from simple to complex” is effective in any field, including in drawing up a coffee map. To prevent visitors from feeling awkward, at the beginning of the card indicate the most simple and understandable positions for everyone: espresso, cappuccino, Americano. Offer more complex drinks after simple ones, be sure to supplement each item with a description of the ingredients that are included in a particular drink in addition to coffee: for example, cream, honey, alcohol.

Technological map of cappuccino coffee

Like any dish or drink, cappuccino has its own technological map. The card is a standardized document that serves as a kind of instruction for those who prepare cappuccino.

Some people get confused by calling cappuccino a cocktail and not a coffee drink. But this is not the case, because the concentration of espresso here is quite high for a cocktail. In order to prepare cappuccino, you need to brew espresso, heat the milk, and froth some of it using a cappuccino maker.

Proportions (ratio) of coffee and milk in cappuccino. According to the technology, this drink consists of one third espresso, one third milk, 1/3 part milk foam. Sugar or topping can be added as desired.

The milk should be whole, but not dry. The fat content of milk is 3.2 percent. The ideal temperature for milk is 3 degrees above zero.

In order to brew standard espresso, you need: 1 teaspoon of ground coffee and 40 ml of water. To get a spoonful of coffee you need to take 7 grams of beans. And you need to take at least 150 ml of milk, a third of which will turn into foam.

How many calories are in cappuccino coffee: with sugar, without sugar. The calorie content of such a drink is not very high. If a person prefers to drink cappuccino without sugar, then 200 ml of drink accounts for at least 32-50 kcal. With sugar, the calorie content is slightly higher, namely 47-75 kcal. It is impossible to say exactly how many calories are in a particular cup. Because calorie content depends not only on the amount of sugar, but also on the fat content of the milk used, as well as the presence of syrup, chocolate and other possible additives in it.

Where there is less coffee - in latte or cappuccino

Inexperienced coffee lovers, when trying a cappuccino or latte for the first time, may not feel much difference. But in fact, these are two different drinks, and they have significant differences.

The main thing is the amount of milk. Latte is a layered drink in which there is one third more frothed milk, which is why you can’t hear the bitterness of espresso at all. Therefore, some experts argue that latte is not a coffee drink at all, because espresso takes up only a quarter of it.

Barley coffee recipe.

You need to take 3 teaspoons of barley grains (the larger the grains, the better). It is recommended to wash them thoroughly and dry them completely. Then fry the barley in a very hot frying pan until they darken and the appropriate smell appears. Grind the finished grains in a coffee grinder, pour into a container with water (150-200 ml), bring to a boil and leave for 3-5 minutes. To improve the taste, you can add a spoonful of honey, a pinch of cinnamon or lemon to the drink.

The recipe for surrogate coffee made from acorns is worthy of special attention. The usefulness of such a drink for the child’s body lies, firstly, in the prevention of rickets and scrofula. Ripe fruits selected for autumn are washed, dried, and removed from the shell. Then the acorns, cut into small pieces, are dried in the oven for more than half an hour, crushed in a coffee grinder or blender and prepared like barley, using the method discussed above.

Web sources offer a very interesting alternative to a coffee drink made from the fruit of Jerusalem artichoke (earth pear). Tubers collected in autumn or spring need to be peeled, cut into small pieces, and pour boiling water over them for a few minutes. Then dry and fry in the oven or in a frying pan. Then, according to the principle described a little higher, the Jerusalem artichoke is crushed and boiled. This drink will be useful for all children, but it is especially recommended for those with diabetes. The finished drink needs to be poured into cups and amuse the little ones! Bon appetit!

Drinks based on kindergarten recipes.

What do kids usually drink in kindergarten?! That's right: milk! And also cocoa, vitamin tea and even coffee for breakfast. Now we will look into the kitchen of a preschool educational institution to learn how to prepare the right children's drinks.

In addition to water, it is very important for children to learn to drink other healthy drinks. Kvass or gas-water are not included in this list. But juice, cocoa with milk and a coffee drink are very often on the kindergarten menu.

It’s worth saying right away that the coffee drink is not at all Arabica or even instant freeze-dried coffee in our classical understanding. Kindergarten “coffee” made from barley grains, which are previously roasted and have a very aromatic smell of freshly baked goods. This kind of “coffee” is very useful for the baby’s immune system and does not at all disrupt glycemic metabolic processes or have an effect on the heart and blood vessels.

In kindergartens in the Urals, Siberia and the Far East, children are also given vitamin tea for the second breakfast. It is prepared from rose hips. And it has long been clear that this is a record holder and a good supplier of vitamin C to our body. This is the tea we will learn to brew correctly. Well, as for cocoa and coffee, I think anyone can make it. I’ll just show you the technology cards for their production.
