I don’t like too much sweetness in my coffee, so I stopped ordering a cappuccino. Why? Well, it is almost always the case when I order a cappuccino at a cafe, it is served with chocolate on top, not cinnamon. I used to drink a cappuccino with extra cinnamon on top while living in Japan, but my preferred choice between the two has become a flat white here in Australia. If you prefer a more mellow, delicate coffee experience, then you should go with a flat white. Flat whites are much thinner, and although they also involve milk, the milk is made with rich, heated milk while a cappuccino has milk that is steamed until it is frothy. They’re both made with a shot of espresso, but cappuccinos are often served with a thick layer of foam and usually topped with cinnamon or chocolate. I know there’s a lot of confusion among coffee drinkers about the difference between a cappuccino and a flat white. Is A Flat White Different From A Cappuccino? So, the answer is yes, there is a difference between a flat white and a latte although both contain the same amount of coffee. Another difference is that it is served in a ceramic cup whereas a latte in a glass. This makes a latte milkier than a flat white. To put it shortly, a flat white has less milk and less foam (now you know why it’s called “flat”!) and therefore you would taste a stronger coffee flavour than a latte. You are going to find my easy recipe for making a flat white at home in this post, so keep reading. Most people describe the texture of the foam as velvety, fluffy, and airy. However, the taste also comes from the foam on top of the flat white. Doesn’t it sound delicious? The flavours come from the espresso that is mixed with the milk. It was incredible! What Is A Flat White?īasically, it is an espresso-based drink with steamed milk and a very thin layer of velvety microfoam. I still remember the moment I saw the 3D latte art at a cafe for the first time when I ordered a cup of flat white. Taking photos of coffee when I see the amazing latte art on top is one of my favourite things to do. I drink espresso at home, but I enjoy a good flat white, especially with beautiful latte art at a cafe when I catch up with my friends. To be honest, I’ve never heard of it until I came to Australia in 2005. As an Australian resident, it’s safe to say that a flat white is one of the most popular coffee here.
