Flat White in a cream mug
A flat white in a cream mug, #891 of 999. Roastery light, oak counter. Foam on the surface. Cream Float. Kraft sleeve. Scarce: Cream Float. Common, roast score 128.2.
The recipe
18.3 g · 27 g ristretto · 131 ml milk
- Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
- Steam 131 ml to 57 °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.
- Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
- Float the cream over the back of a spoon so it sits as a layer rather than folding in.
