Flat White Coffee - Australia traditional dish

🧂 Ingredienser

18-20 grams Freshly roasted coffee beans(For a double espresso shot. Grind just before brewing.)
150-180 ml Whole milk(Cold milk is essential for creating good microfoam. Dairy milk generally steams best, but alternatives like oat milk can be used.)

👨‍🍳 Instruktioner

1
Prepare the Espresso: Grind the coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso. Dose and tamp the grounds evenly into your espresso machine's portafilter. Pull a double espresso shot (approximately 36-40 grams of liquid) directly into your serving cup. This should take about 25-30 seconds.
⏱️ 30 seconds
2
Steam the Milk: Pour the cold milk into a steaming pitcher. Submerge the steam wand just below the surface of the milk and begin steaming. Aim to introduce air for the first few seconds to create a small amount of foam, listening for a gentle 'kissing' sound. Then, submerge the wand deeper to heat the milk, creating a vortex that breaks down larger bubbles into a smooth, glossy microfoam. Heat the milk until the pitcher is too hot to comfortably hold (around 60-65°C or 140-150°F).
⏱️ 1 minute 30 seconds
3
Groom the Microfoam: Gently swirl the milk in the pitcher to integrate the foam and milk. Tap the pitcher on the counter to remove any larger bubbles. The milk should have a wet-paint-like sheen and be glossy.
⏱️ 15 seconds
4
Pour the Flat White: Hold the cup with the espresso at a slight angle. Begin pouring the steamed milk from a height, allowing the milk to flow under the crema of the espresso. As the cup fills, lower the pitcher closer to the surface and continue pouring, using the microfoam to create a thin, even layer on top. Aim for a seamless integration of milk and espresso, with minimal visible foam.

💡 Proffstips

✓The key to a Flat White is the texture of the milk: it should be velvety microfoam, not stiff, airy foam like a cappuccino.
✓The ratio of espresso to milk is typically stronger than a latte, offering a more intense coffee flavor.
✓Practice is essential for achieving the perfect microfoam and latte art (if desired).
✓Ensure your espresso machine is properly heated and your grinder is calibrated for optimal results.

Use alternative milks such as oat, almond, or soy for a dairy-free option.
Add an extra shot of espresso for a bolder flavor.
Sweeten with a dash of syrup (vanilla, caramel) if preferred, though traditionalists often enjoy it unsweetened.
