Flat White
Double ristretto under microfoam - milk textured silky, not foamy. Australian-New Zealand classic, smaller and stronger than a latte.
Method
Espresso
Typical volume

Caffeine is a reference value for this drink and brew method, not a measurement of your cup.
Flat White technique
- Pull a double ristretto or espresso (36g) into a 5-6oz cup.
- Steam 100-120ml of milk to a thin, glossy microfoam.
- Pour close to the surface for a thin foam layer and clean art.
- Target a 1:3 to 1:4 ratio, coffee-forward.
The flat white lives between a cortado and a latte: less milk than a latte, finer foam than a cappuccino, the espresso meant to dominate.
