Amber Session

Flat White in a bone diner

Common

A flat white in a bone diner, #989 of 999. Roastery light, walnut counter. Crema on the surface. Special blend: Ring Stain. Common, roast score 104.4.

The recipe

17.8 g · 28 g ristretto · 119 ml milk

Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
Steam 119 ml to 62 °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.
