The espresso's journey · head to head

Flat white vs latte

Both use the same espresso. The latte just has more milk and more foam. It's the milk, not the coffee, that sets them apart.

The difference is how much milk goes in and how it's steamed. A flat white keeps the milk to a small pour of dense, silky microfoam, so you can still really taste the coffee. A latte uses almost twice as much milk in a bigger cup, with a thin layer of foam on top. It's softer and milkier, and it's the one baristas like for latte art.
