Flat White

The Flat White is a celebration of texture. It uses 'microfoam'β€”steamed milk with tiny bubblesβ€”folded seamlessly into a double shot of espresso. The result is a drink that is strong like a cappuccino but silky like a latte.

At a Glance

  • β€’The layer of foam on a flat white should be no thicker than 5mm.
