What is a flat white?

A flat white is a sophisticated coffee drink that originated in Australia and New Zealand. It is an espresso-based drink that resembles a cappuccino or latte but differs in its unique composition and presentation. A flat white is the perfect choice for those who appreciate a strong espresso flavor combined with the smoothness of steamed milk, without the thick foam top often found in traditional cappuccinos. A true delight for coffee lovers looking for something a little extra in their cup!

How do you make a flat white?

Preparing a flat white at home is not particularly difficult. It should be slightly larger than a cappuccino and consist of 1/3 espresso mixed with 2/3 smooth, steamed milk. For the best results, you can use an espresso machine or a manual press tool. Read more about how to do it in our recipe below.

Recipe

Instructions:

1. Brew a double espresso into a porcelain cup with a volume of just over 160 ml.
2. Heat the milk to 65 degrees, either in a saucepan or by steaming it gently to avoid creating too much foam.
3. Pour the milk close to the surface of the coffee to minimize bubbles. Serve and enjoy!
