How to Make a Flat White
Flat White: A Step-by-Step Guide
A flat white is similar to a latte but features a stronger coffee flavor and a velvety, smooth texture. It’s made with microfoam (steamed milk with fine bubbles) and a double shot of espresso, making it a perfect choice for those who enjoy creamy coffee without too much foam.
How to Make a Flat White
What You’ll Need
- Espresso Machine
- Freshly Ground Espresso Coffee Beans
- Milk Frother or steam wand
- Milk (whole milk for best results, or a milk alternative)
- Flat White Cup (about 5-6 ounces)
Step 1: Brew the Espresso
- Brew a double shot of espresso. This forms the base of the flat white, giving it a strong and bold coffee flavor.
Step 2: Steam the Milk
- Steam about 5 ounces (150 ml) of milk, aiming for microfoam (a silky smooth texture with tiny bubbles). The key to a flat white is having less foam than a latte but more than a cappuccino.
Step 3: Combine the Espresso and Milk
- Pour the espresso into your flat white cup. Slowly add the steamed milk, allowing the microfoam to mix smoothly with the coffee.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Your flat white is ready to be served! Enjoy its rich, creamy texture with a stronger coffee kick than a latte.
