'''Flat white''' is a type of [[coffee]] beverage that originated from [[Australia]] and [[New Zealand]]. It is similar to a [[latte]] and a [[cappuccino]], but is distinct in its preparation and presentation.

== History ==
The flat white was first created in the 1980s in Australia and New Zealand. The exact origin is disputed, with both countries claiming to have invented the beverage. The term "flat white" was first used in Australia in 1984, and in New Zealand in 1989.

== Preparation ==
A flat white is made by pouring [[microfoam]] (steamed milk with small, fine bubbles and a glossy or velvety consistency) over a single or double shot of [[espresso]]. The ratio of coffee to milk in a flat white is approximately 1:2, with the volume of the espresso shot being between 30 and 40 milliliters and the volume of the milk being between 60 and 80 milliliters. The milk is steamed to a temperature of between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius.

== Presentation ==
The flat white is typically served in a ceramic cup with a saucer. The microfoam on top of the beverage is smooth and velvety, and is often used as a canvas for [[latte art]]. The flat white is smaller in volume than a latte, and has a higher proportion of coffee to milk, which gives it a stronger coffee flavor.

== Variations ==
There are several variations of the flat white, including the [[long black]] and the [[short black]], which are made with more or less milk respectively. In some countries, a flat white may also be served with a dusting of cocoa powder or a drizzle of honey.
