flat whites

Microfoam coffee orders

Flat whites are espresso drinks made with steamed milk that has a thin layer of microfoam—less frothy than a cappuccino, similar to a latte but typically smaller and stronger.

The drink originated in Australia or New Zealand (both claim it) and spread to coffee shops worldwide: I'll have a flat white with oat milk.
