A double-shot espresso with steamed milk and a thin layer of micro-foam, served in a 5oz cup. Sydney coffee culture's morning anchor.
The flat white emerged in Sydney and Auckland in the mid-1980s as a refinement of the cappuccino: less foam, more milk integration, served in a smaller cup. Sydney's Single Origin Roasters (Reservoir Street, 2003) and Toby's Estate (Pyrmont, 1997) refined the modern Australian espresso style around it. Howard Schultz adopted the flat white at Starbucks in 2015, sealing its global travel. The drink remains the morning anchor of every Sydney cafe.
