Flat White Coffee Recipe | Smooth Espresso with Velvety Microfoam
Flat white is a rich and silky espresso-based coffee that originated in Australia and New Zealand. Made with a double shot of espresso and finely textured steamed milk, a Flat White features a thin layer of velvety microfoam that enhances the coffee's natural flavor without overpowering it. Compared to a latte, it has less milk and a stronger coffee taste, making it a favorite among espresso lovers.
Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or an afternoon pick-me-up, this café-style Flat White is smooth, creamy, and easy to prepare at home with an espresso machine and milk steamer. Its balanced flavor and luxurious texture make it a timeless coffee choice.
Cooking Method
- Brew 2 fresh shots of espresso into a coffee cup.
- Steam the milk until smooth, creating fine microfoam with very small bubbles.
- Gently swirl the steamed milk to achieve a silky consistency.
- Slowly pour the milk over the espresso, allowing the microfoam to blend naturally.
- Serve immediately while hot.
