Flat white
Have you tried a flat white?
This is the first I’ve heard of it but it looks like my cup of tea, er, coffee.
It’s a Kiwi invention – basically a strong latte, topped with swirled microfoam – and has been all the rage in England. A jet-setting friend of mine spent this week in New York and London and reported that Starbucks in England includes the flat white, while the Starbucks in New York does not.
America needs flat white! I need flat white! Bring it.

Yes, it really is a perfect alternative to a dry cappuccino. I wish I could’ve had one this morning!
Wash out your mouth with soap!!!
A flat white is a kiwi invention!
Aussies always claim NZ inventions as theirs: the flat white, pavlova, Sam Neil and russell Crowe….
Oops! Blame Wikipedia! For the record, my source did call it a Kiwi invention, but then I read a few different things online crediting it to the Aussies. BTW, I’m not sure why anyone would want to claim Russell Crowe for their own. Just sayin’. 🙂
Yup. But kiwis have a big chip about things the Aussies steal. And Russel Crowe is rarely claimed. I think crowded house is the other one that’s claimed…..
But flat whites are good. Even better, the triple shot flat white. However, More of a long black drinker these days.
Oh, I didn’t know about that! What a lovely post on one of the things I love the most… coffee. And trendy coffee, it seems!
Your blog is lush and thus… it is an instant follow.
Keep up the amazing work!
