Flat White
Posted by: Deane F on 14 November 2005
A flat white is a flat white is a flat white. It's flat. That's why it's called a flat white.
No foam.
Warmed milk from the jug, sure - but that's what the spoon is for - to stop the foam while the milk pours into the coffee.
Please, no pretty patterns in a half-centimetre thick layer of foam in my flat white. If I want to see barista skills I'll order a latte or a cappucino.

What the duck is this thread about?
Seriously, though, isn't flat white a shade of paint?

I quite agree. However, there are few cafes that have the skills and/or beans to make a good short black - and a short black is definitely what I prefer - but I gave up a while ago and just have short blacks at proven cafes.

Might be. However, I imagine that in the catalogue they'd call it something like "bovinity" or "savalis".

I don't get so poncy over coffee.

I'm not a food fetishist either. Provided the coffee and milk are both økologisk.

Excess coffee drinking has now been linked to unwanted abortion. So be very careful out there!

Wasn't 'Flat White is a shade of paint' a song by Procul harum?

Yes, I think it was.

Thanks,

That's good to know. Male and have had a vasectomy. I'm safe then.
Double espresso time !!!!!
Should I start smoking but only those packets that suggest that "my unborn baby may be harmed" as these are clearly only problematic for women ?
