Flat White

Flat White
A flat white is known for its velvety texture due to the microfoam created in the milk.

Ingredients:

  • Espresso
  • Milk

To make a flat white, use a ceramic cappuccino cup if ordered to stay, or a 10 oz paper cup if ordered to go.

  • Prep a standard steaming pitcher with 8 oz of milk.
  • Pull a double short (2 oz) shot of espresso into your cup.
  • Steam and aerate your milk to wet microfoam texture at 65°C or 150°F.
  • Pour your milk over the espresso into the cup and finish with latte art.
  • Serve on a large saucer with a tea spoon if ordered to stay.

Note: The key to making a great flat white is getting the milk texture down. Good microfoam will only be aerated slightly, making the milk less foamy with small bubbles equally dispersed throughout the milk.
