A flat white is espresso with steamed milk, a higher proportion of coffee to milk than a latte and without the thick foam of a cappuccino; cafe owners in Australia and New Zealand both claim it. A review of the Sydney cafe Miller's Treat mentioned its flat white coffee in May 1983, Alan Preston put it on the permanent menu at Moors Espresso Bar in Sydney in 1985, and a Wellington claim dates from 1989. In Australia it is usually served in a ceramic cup with a handle. Strauss in the Brisbane CBD lists it on its drinks menu.
