How to Make a Flat White at Home
Yes, you can make a Flat White at home – it just takes balance and technique. What you’ll need:
- A double espresso (18-20g of freshly ground espresso beans)
- 100-120ml organic milk
- A milk steamer
- A 150-180ml cup
Step-by-step:
Brew your espresso - Choose a bean with chocolate, nutty, or caramel notes for a smooth flavour.
Steam your milk - Aim for silky smooth microfoam, like wet paint, without large bubbles.
Pour with care - Tilt the cup and pour slowly to preserve the crema and form a thin layer of foam.
Pro tip: Once you’ve mastered the basics, add some latte art – a heart or rosetta makes it cafe-worthy.
