A flat white is a coffee beverage originating from Australia and New Zealand. It is prepared by pouring microfoam (steamed milk from the bottom of a pitcher) over a single or double shot of espresso. It is similar to the latte and the café au lait. Like other espresso-based beverages, it can be interpreted various ways.
The beverage is typically served in a small 150–160 millilitre ceramic cup. Microfoam is used, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture. A flat white may incorporate latte art.
