Flat White

While in Sydney I have been drinking more coffee than normal. I have been obsessed with getting a  Flat White everyday or two a day!  A flat white is a coffee beverage from Australia and New Zealand. It is prepared by pouring microfoam (steamed milk from the bottom of a pitcher) over a single (30ml) or double shot (60ml) of espresso. It is similar to the latte and the café au lait and like other espresso based beverages it can be interpreted various ways.

The beverage is typically served in a small 150-160ml ceramic cup. Microfoam is used, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture. A flat white may incorporate latte art.
