Flat white

A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso and steamed milk. It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a caffè latte, and lacks the thick layer of foam in a cappuccino. While the origin of the flat white is unclear, various café owners in Australia and New Zealand claim its invention. Anette Moldvaer states that a flat white consists of a double espresso and about 130 ml (4 fl oz) of steamed milk with a 5 mm (0.25 inch) layer of microfoam. According to a survey of industry commentators, a flat white is a shorter drink with a thin layer of microfoam (hence the 'flat' in flat white), as opposed to the thick layer of foam on the top of a cappuccino. The beverage usually features a pattern (latte art) on the surface.
