Flat White

Flat white is a coffee variety that couples a double shot of freshly brewed espresso and milk, which is usually steamed to create a light, silky microfoam. A perfect flat white should have an intense coffee flavor, and milk should only be a complement, not a predominant element, while the froth on top should be less airy and bubbly than in the classic cappuccino or caffè latte.


It is believed that the flat white originated sometime in the 1980s, but it is still disputed whether it initially appeared in Australia or New Zealand.
