What is a Flat White?
While being maybe one of the most controversial coffee beverages ever existed, the Flat White is also many people’s preferred choice among a, quite frankly, big portfolio of recipes.
The term flat white was reported for the first time in the 1980’s by coffee historian Dr. Jonathan Morris. During the last decades, Flat White has become very popular first in Australia and New Zealand and then all over the globe. But what is it exactly?
Andrew Tolley from the Coffee Knowledge Hub defines it as ‘’ a coffee drink made with a single, double, triple or quadruple shot of espresso and topped with steamed, microfoam milk. Less foam than a cappuccino... size doesn’t matter, it is all about ratio, the ratio of espresso coffee to milk. ‘’
‘’Understanding the Flat White can also be done in the context of what it is not - Flat White vs. Latte vs. Cappuccino’’ he tells us, and though each of these drinks may seem very similar, they have distinct differences.
So, we hope this Basic Coffee Beverage Chart helps you understand those differences a bit more. Læs mere om vores baristakurser og downlaod vores kaffeplakat her.
