It’s even harder if you’ve got non-barista milk-alternatives. Getting that microfoam right is pretty tricky. Then, they sold it as a speciality: the microfoam folding into the coffee, cutting through all the bitterness of the coffee beans and giving the espresso a creamier texture. They figured out a technique that created microfoam instead of failed large-sized foam. The way out, as the baristas discovered, was to be very careful with how to froth the milk. If you’ve ever tried to froth non-barista-versions of almond milk, you’ve probably seen this happen.
There was no way the milk would froth to those big, fluffy bubbles of a cappuccino. This may have been due to a change in climate or in the grass they were eating that year. One season, the cow milk just didn’t froth. About 50 years ago, either in Australia or New Zealand, baristas were experimenting with how to foam milk. There’s some disagreement around the origins of the flat white. That is, a warm 5.5 oz coffee drink with a 1:1.25 coffee to milk ratio. It tends to be more or less the same wherever you order it. Unsure over which coffee is best for you? Want to know more about the differences between each? Let’s take a closer look at a flat white vs cappuccino – whatever you want to know, I’ve got you covered!Ī flat white is one of the more defined coffee drinks around. It’s also one of the hotter milky coffee drinks. It’s a double shot of espresso in the bottom and a very foamy layer of milk on top. I like my coffee to be airy, filling and to give a kick of bitter acidity to give my tastebuds the energy they need to wake up. This creates a smooth coffee-and-milk mixture that is perfect for his taste.
The flat white has microbubbles that cut through and mix together with the coffee.
My partner likes his coffee to be smooth, not too hot, and without the creamy taste of milk. They’re pretty much the same size and just as caffeinated – perfect for the morning kick! The microfoam of a flat white is great for him, whilst the airy Italian cappuccino is ideal for me. He orders a flat white, I order a cappuccino.
Ultimately it led to success and the creation of one of the world’s most popular coffee drinks.Įvery morning, my partner and I make our way to our favorite coffee shop. Just like the invention of penicillin, the failure was a happy one. Legend has it that the flat white started life as a failed cappuccino.
