Flat White
澳白（馥芮白）
Milk DrinksDefinition
A small espresso drink, typically 5-6 oz, built from a double shot or ristretto and topped with a thin layer of silky microfoam rather than stiff froth. The coffee-to-milk ratio is higher than a latte, so the espresso stays the dominant flavor.
Etymology
Coined in Australia and New Zealand, where flat describes the drink's level, non-domed surface compared with a cappuccino, and white means coffee taken with milk. It spread worldwide after Starbucks added it to its US menu in 2015.
In use
A staple of third-wave cafes and a common yardstick for judging how well a barista textures milk.
