History of flat white Coffee
On March 11, 2011, the flat white made its official mark in history by being added to the Oxford English Dictionary. This beloved coffee beverage, characterized by steamed milk poured over a shot of espresso, is thought to have originated in Australia and New Zealand.

The addition to the Oxford English Dictionary further recognizes the cultural and culinary significance of this delicious concoction.
How is flat white made?
A flat white is made up of an espresso shot topped with steamed milk and a thin layer of micro-foam and is traditionally served in a ceramic cup.
Flat whites have become increasingly popular among coffee enthusiasts who appreciate a beverage with less foam. The term “flat” in flat white denotes a smoother texture, distinguishing it from the more frothy cappuccino or latte. This makes it an attractive option for those who prefer a subtler frothiness in their coffee.
In cafes throughout Australia and New Zealand, customers are frequently drawn to the flat white by talented baristas who not only demonstrate their skills but also create intricate artwork during the preparation of the drink. The combination of expert craftsmanship, highlighted by the artistry in the coffee-making process, and the characteristic mildness of the foam adds to the overall appeal of flat whites in the coffee culture of these regions.
