Flat White

Definition:

A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso and steamed milk, characterized by its velvety microfoam and a thin layer of foam on top.

Origin:

The exact origin of the flat white is disputed, but it is believed to have originated in Australia or New Zealand in the 1980s. It is a popular drink in both countries, as well as in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.

Preparation:

To make a flat white, a single or double shot of espresso is poured into a preheated cup. Steamed milk is then added, creating a velvety microfoam. The milk is poured slowly and gently, creating a thin layer of foam on top.

Characteristics:

  • Flavor
    Flat whites have a balanced flavor, with the sweetness of the milk complementing the bitterness of the espresso.
  • Texture
    The microfoam creates a smooth and velvety texture, which is different from the frothy texture of a cappuccino.
  • Appearance
    Flat whites have a thin layer of foam on top, which is usually light brown in color.

    • Variations:

  • Size
    Flat whites are typically served in 6-8 ounce cups.
  • Milk
    Whole milk, skim milk, or plant-based milk can be used.
  • Espresso
    The type of espresso used can affect the flavor and strength of the flat white.
  • Flavorings
    Some variations may include flavored syrups or spices, such as vanilla or cinnamon.

    • Serving:

    Flat whites are typically served hot and can be enjoyed on their own or with a side of pastries or breakfast items.

    Tips for Making a Great Flat White:

  • Use fresh, high-quality espresso beans.
  • Steam the milk to the correct temperature (150-160°F).
  • Pour the milk slowly and gently to create a velvety microfoam.
  • Tap the cup gently to remove any large bubbles.
  • Enjoy immediately for the best flavor and texture.
