Flat White in an ink bowl
A flat white in a ink bowl, #475 of 999. Dusk light, tile counter. Crema on the surface. Tape sleeve. Common, roast score 119.4.
The recipe
19 g · 31 g ristretto · 139 ml milk
- Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
- Steam 139 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.
- Serve straight away, while the crema is still whole.
