Flat White in a speckle diner
A flat white in a speckle diner, #577 of 999. Sunbeam light, oak counter. Wave on the surface. Cream Float. Scarce: Cream Float. Uncommon, roast score 166.5.
The recipe
17.7 g · 29 g ristretto · 132 ml milk
- Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
- Steam 132 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 wave through the crema.
- Float the cream over the back of a spoon so it sits as a layer rather than folding in.
