About Flat White
A double ristretto with microfoam steamed milk. Australia and New Zealand both claim invention. Smaller and stronger than a latte. The microfoam should be velvety smooth, not thick and airy like cappuccino foam. Starbucks introduced it globally in 2015. The drink that launched a thousand hipster cafes.
