Flat White
Flat White is a coffee beverage made with espresso and steamed milk, sharing similarities with a Latte or Cappuccino. However, what sets it apart is its lower milk-to-coffee ratio and a thinner layer of microfoam. This allows the espresso’s bold flavours to stand out while maintaining a smooth, velvety milk texture. With its harmonious balance between the richness of espresso and the natural sweetness of milk, the Flat White offers a refined and enjoyable drinking experience.
While a Cappuccino typically has a thick milk foam layer of at least 1.5 cm (0.6 inches), a Flat White has only about 0.5 cm (0.2 inches). The thinner microfoam contains fewer air bubbles, creating a silky surface—perfect for intricate latte art designs. This makes the Flat White a favourite among baristas, allowing for more detailed and delicate patterns that enhance both the visual and sensory experience.
