Allowing the beverage to stand before drinking enhances the experience as the meniscus thickens and adds texture to each sip, resulting in distinct sip rings/tide marks as the beverage is consumed. Key to the beverage is the crema being coaxed into the meniscus resulting in a uniform dark brown colour across the top of the beverage. Differences in the size of the foam layer differ between regions, with some preferring as little as 1 mm (0.04 in). Milk is frothed and foamy as it would be for a latte but held back to around 20 mm (0.8 in) of microfoam, creating a meniscus. It is comparable to a latte, but smaller in volume and with less microfoam, therefore having a higher proportion of coffee to milk, and milk that is more velvety in consistency – allowing the espresso to dominate the flavour, while being supported by the milk.Ī flat white is generally served in a ceramic cup with saucer.
