How to Make a Flat White at Home

What is a Flat White?
A flat white is a rich, espresso-based coffee drink known for its smooth, velvety texture. It features a double shot of espresso topped with microfoamed milk, offering a stronger coffee taste than a latte, without the thick foam of a cappuccino.

Ingredients
Double shot of espresso (2 oz)
5-6 oz whole milk

Equipment
Espresso machine
Milk frother or steam wand
6 oz ceramic cup (like the Saturn Small Cappuccino Cup – 5.9 oz)

Steps
Pull the Espresso - Extract a double shot (2 oz) into your cup
Steam the Milk - Heat the milk to 140–149°F for a smooth microfoam
Combine - Pour the steamed milk over the espresso, aiming for a creamy, even texture
