The espresso's journey · head to head

Flat white vs latte

Same espresso either way — the latte simply carries more milk and more foam. It's the milk, not the coffee, that tells these two apart.

Order either and you get the same double shot; what changes is how much milk rides on top and how it's textured. A flat white keeps the pour tight and the microfoam dense, so every sip still tastes like coffee. A latte stretches that same shot across nearly three times the milk in a taller glass, under just a thin foam lid — smoother, milkier, and built to hold latte art.
