This drink was actually very unpopular in China at first. Later, Starbucks added it to the menu, and then everyone gradually became aware of it and became a popular coffee.
what forAustralian WhiteCoffee?
Australian white coffee, its original name is "Flat White"More people will be familiar with it. Of course, Flat White, Ori White, Flat White Coffee, and Small White Coffee are all translations of "Flat White". Australian white coffee originated in Oceania (there is controversy as to whether it is Australia or New Zealand). Australian white coffee can be regarded as the Australian version of latte. At first, it was only popular in Australia. Later, Star Dad brought the Australian "Flat White" to China and gave it the honest and elegant name of Flat White. Naturally, it became popular in China as well.
Aside from the origin controversy,Australian white coffeeThe practices are also different. Australian white coffee is a milk coffee drink with a richer coffee taste, less milk, and thinner milk foam.
When it comes to the choice of concentrated base, New Zealanders like to use Double Ristretto to make Australian white coffee, while Australian baristas like to use Single Espresso.
Introduction to the origin and history of Australian white
Regarding the invention of Australian White, Australians and New Zealanders have different opinions, insisting that the drink comes from their countries, and the recipes for making Australian White coffee produced by baristas in the two countries are also different. Although we really cannot know which country Australia White comes from, what is certain is that this drink stems from everyone's pursuit of higher quality coffee.
Before the 1970s, Australian coffee shops used methods such as French presses and manual drip filters to brew black coffee. In the early 1970s, the Italians brought espresso machines to Australia, officially starting a new wave of coffee trends. Compared with traditional latte and cappuccino, Australians are pursuing milk drinks with thinner milk foam and stronger coffee flavor. So milk coffee began to be continuously "improved" in Australia, New Zealand and other regions. When the milk foam on the milk coffee became flatter and flatter, until it became a thin layer, the full cup was completely flush with the cup rim, so it was named Flat White. Flat means "flat", and white refers to white coffee with milk added.
Since the 1980s, Australians have put Flat White on their regular menus, and soon it spread to cafes in Europe, the United States and other countries. Flat White has become a popular product in China because Starbucks introduced it in 2015 and named it "Flat White" as one of its flagship drinks, which means that this milk coffee has become mainstream.
Back to the drink itself, Obai highlights the flavor of coffee by adding milk. Coffee is the protagonist and milk is only an auxiliary. Therefore, in terms of taste, the coffee flavor is more abundant and richer. In addition, the upper layer of milk foam is light and thin, so that every sip of espresso liquid has a velvety dense foam layer. The moderate temperature and small cup size can quickly drink up the milk foam before it is separated. In addition to the difference in cup size and the thickness of the milk foam, in order to more perfectly express the better aroma of the coffee beans, the barista replaced the base with a double Ristretto and incorporated milk foam that is about the same thickness as a latte into a 150ml cup.
Front Street teaches you the difference between latte, kabob and Australian white
In order to distinguish latte coffee, cappuccino, and Australian white coffee, Front Street plans to compare the raw material composition, cup size, milk foam thickness, and flavor.
The first is the cup size. In the past, the standard for latte coffee was a 300ml wide-mouth ceramic cup, cappuccino was a 180ml narrow-mouth ceramic cup, and Australian white coffee was a 210ml glass cup. Next comes the components that differentiate these three coffees. Latte coffee is composed of 2 parts espresso (40g), 260ml steamed milk and thin milk foam. Cappuccino consists of 1 part espresso (20g) plus 160ml steamed milk thickened with milk foam. Australian white coffee is composed of 2 parts espresso coffee (30g) plus 180ml steamed milk and thin milk foam. Among them, espresso is the middle and front part of espresso, with a richer and richer flavor.
Latte
The thickness of milk foam has always been an important feature that distinguishes latte, cappuccino and Australian white coffee. Among the three, cappuccino has the thickest milk foam (about 1-1.5cm). Its most obvious feature is that the cappuccino coffee can reach 11% full in the cup, that is, the milk foam of cappuccino is higher than the cup and presents a protruding hamburger shape; Australian white coffee has the thinnest milk foam (about 0.3cm). Because the milk foam of coffee is thin, the liquid level is basically flush with the cup, hence the name flat white coffee. The thickness of milk foam of latte coffee is between the two (0.5cm). The thickness of milk foam of latte coffee is very suitable for latte art. One of the reasons for choosing a wide cup mouth is to better create latte art patterns.
Australian white coffee
In terms of taste, latte coffee has the most milk and will not be dominated by concentration. The two complement each other, are balanced and complementary; while Australian white coffee is espresso coffee with less milk, which highlights the aroma of coffee but does not have too much bitterness. Cappuccino will highlight the taste of coffee. In terms of taste, cappuccino coffee has the fullest taste. It is due to the delicate and rich milk foam and the fusion with coffee oil, which makes it particularly smooth and full. Next is the Australian white coffee, and finally the latte.
Cappuccino
Finally, one thing that needs to be added is that latte, cappuccino, and Australian white were all hot drinks at the beginning, but as time went by, latte developed a method of making ice drinks, while cappuccino and Australian white were still only hot drinks.
