He pūkenga nui te tunu miraka me te mahi toi latte mō te kaiwhakatakoto kai. Kāore e ngāwari te ako i tētahi o ēnei pūkenga, inā koa ka tīmata koe, engari he rongo pai tāku māu: ka tino āwhina te whiriwhiri i te ipu miraka tika.
He tini ngā momo ipu miraka kei te mākete. He rerekē te tae, te hoahoa, te rahi, te āhua, te momo ngongo, te taumaha… Ā, he mea hoahoa, he mea tohatoha hoki ēnei e ngā waitohu rerekē puta noa i te ao.
Nō reira, ina pā mai tēnei momo kōwhiringa, me pēhea e mōhio ai koe ko tēhea ipu miraka te mea pai rawa atu? Āe, kei ō hiahia tēnā.
NGĀ WHAKATAUNGA TAKE
Me tīmata tātou ki te mea tino taketake hei tirotiro māu i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi hāte miraka: te whānui.
Tuatahi, me hiahia koe ki tētahi hāte whānui hei hanga i tētahi āhua "whirlpool" ina korohūhia te miraka. Mā tēnei whirlpool ka pakaru ō mirumiru nunui, ka hanga he pahuka moroiti.
He aha te pahuka iti, e pātai ana koe? Ka puta te pahuka iti ina pai te pupuhi o te waiū, ā, ka wera ōrite, ka puta he waiū maeneene, he hiraka, he kanapa. Ehara i te mea he reka noa iho tēnei waiū, engari he tino pai hoki te kakano mō ngā hoahoa toi latte e ringihia noa ana.
RAHI
Ko te nuinga o ngā ipu miraka he rua ngā rahi, 12 auneke me te 20 auneke. Heoi, ka taea tonu te kimi i ngā ipu iti ake, nui ake rānei, mēnā e hiahiatia ana e tō pae kawhe. Ko te tikanga, me rite te rahi o ngā ipu 12 auneke me te 20 auneke, nō reira kaua te whānui e uru ki taua kōwhiringa.
Ko te mea nui rawa atu me whakaaro koe i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i te rahi o tō ipu miraka ko te nui o te miraka e hiahiatia ana e koe mō tō inu. Mō te korohū me te pupuhi o te miraka, kaua e hiahia kia tino kau, kia tino kī rānei tō ipu. Ki te tino kau, e kore e taea e koe te tuku i te pito o tō tokotoko korohū ki roto i te miraka kia pai ai te puta o te hau. Ki te tino kī, ka puea ake te miraka i a koe e korohū ana.
Ko te nui pai o te miraka me noho ki raro noa iho i te pūtake o te waha, tata ki te hautoru o te pikinga ake o te hāte.

RAUEMI
Me hiahia koe ki tētahi ipu he mea hanga ki te maitai kore waikura kounga teitei, kia mau tonu ai te pāmahana i a koe e korohū ana i te miraka. Heoi anō, ina korohū ana koe i te miraka ki te 160°F/70°C pea, ka wera tahi taua ipu me te miraka. Ki te kore koe e pai ki te wera o tētahi ipu maitai kore waikura, ka taea e koe te rapu i tētahi he paninga Teflon hei tiaki i ō maihao me ō ringaringa.

NGĀ PUTANGA
Ahakoa ka taea e ngā barista me ngā tohunga ngaio te hanga toi latte tino pai me tētahi ipu miraka, he māmā ake te ringihanga noa i ētahi hoahoa mā te whakamahi i ētahi āhua o te waha. Mā tēnei ka māmā ake te ako me te whakangungu i ēnei ipu – me te whakataetae anō hoki.
Ko ngā ngākau me ngā tiuripa te wāhi e tīmata ai te nuinga o te tangata i tā rātou haerenga toi latte. Engari mā te whakangawari i ēnei, ka ringihia e koe he "pūpū": he pahuka e ringihia pai ana, he maeneene, ā, he āhua porowhita. Ina tīmata noa koe, ā, e mōhio ana koe ki ngā mea, ko ngā ipu pai rawa atu hei hanga i ēnei pūpū ko ngā ipu pūpū tawhito. Ka taea e rātou te rere o te pahuka kia ōrite te āhua porowhita.

He mārō ngā rōseta me ēnei kōrere whānui, engari he kōwhiringa te rōseta puhoi (he iti ake, he matotoru ake ngā rau). Ā, he pai hoki mō ngā ngaru!
I tētahi atu ringa, he pai ngā rōseta tuku iho me ngā mahi toi latte whakahirahira (pērā i te manu kōnihi me te pīkoki) ki ngā waha whaiti, koi. Mā tēnei ka nui ake tō mana whakahaere mō ngā hoahoa taipitopito.
He maha ngā ipu waina tawhito e wātea ana, he maha ngā momo ringihanga, pērā i a Incasa, i a Joe Frex rānei. Ki te hiahia koe ki te whakapai ake i te ōritetanga o ngā ringihanga porowhita, he kōpiko ake te waha o ngā ipu waina a Motta mō ō ngākau me ō paparanga tiuripa. He angiangi ake, he koi ake hoki ngā waha o ngā ipu waina Barista Gear mō ngā ringihanga toi latte uaua.
Toi latte Swan: he māmā ake te ringihia ki tēnei me te whakamahi i tētahi waha angiangi, koi.
HE KĀKAHU, KĀORE RĀNEI HE KĀKAHU?
Ko te hiahia, te kore rānei i tētahi kakau, kei te āhua o te pupuri i te hāte ina ringihia. Ki tā ētahi, he ngāwari ake te whakamahi i tētahi hāte kāore he kakau ina ringihia. Ka taea hoki e ia te pupuri pai ake i te tihi o te hāte, kia nui ake ai te mana whakahaere me te tika o te waha.
I tētahi atu taha, me mahara koe kei te kohuatia te miraka ki ngā pāmahana tino teitei. Ki te whiriwhiri koe i tētahi ipu kāore he kakau, ka tūtohu ahau kia whiriwhiria tētahi he takai pai te whakamarumaru.
E ringihia ana e te barista te latte art mai i tētahi hāka he kakau tōna.
He maha ngā kōrero kua kōrerohia i roto i tēnei tuhinga, engari ko te mea nui rawa atu i te wā e whiriwhiri ana i tētahi ipu miraka ko te mea kei te pai koe ki te whakamahi. Me tika te taumaha, te taurite, me te whakahaere wera mōu. Me aro hoki koe ki te nui o te mana whakahaere kei a koe i te wā e ringihia ana. Me pēhea te pupuri i te ipu, te wā e hiahia ana koe ki te whakamahi i te pēhanga nui ake, me te wā e whakaiti ana koe i te rahi – me whai whakaaro katoa ēnei.
Ko te mea e pai ana mō tētahi barista, kāore pea e pai mō tētahi atu. Nō reira, whakamātauria ngā ipu rerekē, kimihia tāu e pai ai, ā, whakakoihia ō pūkenga. Ko te kimi i te ipu miraka tika he taahiraa kotahi i runga i te huarahi ki te whakapai ake i tō pūkenga tunu miraka, toi latte, me ō pūkenga barista whānui.
