What is flat white coffee?

Flat white coffee is a popular espresso-based beverage originating from Australia and New Zealand. It has a higher coffee-to-milk ratio than a latte, a strong espresso base, topped with microfoam, which gives it a velvety texture. It’s “flatter” than a cappuccino or latte, making flat whites more popular with coffee connoisseurs looking for less foam.

So, imagine the smooth and glossy texture created by the milk steaming and foaming. This drink strikes a balance between coffee that has a rich flavor and a creamy consistency.

Here’s a breakdown of the parts:

1. Espresso: Like many espresso-based drinks, a flat white starts with a shot or two of espresso.
2. Microfoam: Flat white coffee has a distinctive characteristic like its silky microfoam. Microfoam is created by steaming and frothing the milk and has a fine, velvety texture. The goal is to achieve a smooth, glossy foam with small bubbles.
3. Proportion: In a flat white, the ratio of coffee to milk is higher than in a traditional latte but lower than in a cappuccino. The result is a strong coffee flavor with a creamy and velvety texture.
