A small flat white is a smooth and velvety coffee beverage consisting of a shot of espresso (1 to 2 ounces) combined with steamed milk (about 4 to 6 ounces), creating a creamy texture with a balanced coffee flavor. Unlike a cappuccino, it has little to no foam on top, allowing the rich espresso taste to shine through. Served in a small cup, typically 5 to 6 ounces, the flat white is celebrated for its strong coffee profile and silky mouthfeel, making it a favorite among coffee enthusiasts.
