Flat White in a charcoal mug

UncommonSunburst

A flat white in a charcoal mug, #406 of 999. Morning light, oak counter. Sunburst on the surface. Printed sleeve. Special blend: Cracked. Scarce: Sunburst. Uncommon, roast score 149.2.

The recipe

17.1 g · 27 g ristretto · 127 ml milk

Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
Steam 127 ml to 61 °C with barely any air. The texture you want is paint, not foam.
Pour close to the surface from the start. A flat white is mostly the pour.
Pour from height to sink the foam, then drop the jug to the surface and wiggle a sunburst through the crema.
