Starbucks launched new coffee products in 2012 "Fulibai"(Flat White), it was once a favorite among Starbucks fans. Because it has a smooth taste like latte and a rich taste like cappuccino. For those who like milk coffee and want their coffee to be richer, Fuli White Coffee is a wise choice~
Flat White is actually a hybrid coffee between latte and cappuccino. It is also made with espresso as the base and milk added. It has double the espresso of cappuccino. It also has the slightly shiny fine steamed milk foam in latte, but it is thinner and gently covers the top of the coffee. Flat white has a rich aroma like cappuccino and dense milk foam that is lighter than latte, making it the perfect ratio for heavy caffeine addicts.
The name Flat White is a literal translation of the pronunciation of Flat White. It is also Starbucks’ exclusive translation of this drink, and it has also been registered as a trademark. Other coffee brands and coffee shops will call this coffee "Australian White Coffee".
Flat White CoffeeThe origin of
However, if you don’t know the cultural background behind Flat White, you may think that it is just another milk and espresso drink. In fact, Flat White comes from New Zealand and Australia, which focused on specialty coffee culture in the 1980s. After the Second World War, a large number of European immigrants introduced espresso. Since then, it has become independent from European and American culture. At the same time, it inherited the third wave of revolution and developed unique coffee extension drinks, such as flat white, ristretto, piccolo and other unique products.
Specialty coffee is researched on the origin and processing techniques. It is mostly light roasted in order to retain the unique fruity aroma and flavor of coffee beans from different origins. It is brewed by hand. Therefore, it pays more attention to the barista's craftsmanship and unique latte art techniques. From roasting to brewing, slight differences can create different flavors. Even the same batch of coffee beans will have different personal flavors due to different baristas.
Fuli white coffeeHow to make it and how many shots of espresso?
Starbucks uses 2/3/4 parts of espresso in its Fuli White Coffee. Espresso is also a type of espresso, but it has a higher concentration than latte and American espresso. This is also the secret why Fulibai has a richer coffee taste among milk coffee products in the same portion~
How to make espresso coffee?
Ristretto refers to Italian espresso. Ristretto means "limiting". We can understand it as "limiting" the amount of coffee extraction and only taking the first break of espresso, thereby increasing the concentration of the coffee.
For example, Front Street's Espressso extraction plan is to extract 40 grams of coffee liquid from 20 grams of coffee powder. The powder-to-liquid ratio is 1:2 and the time is 30 seconds. The extraction of Ristretto is to extract only 70% of Espresso, that is, 20 grams of coffee powder extracts 28 grams of coffee liquid, and the time will of course be shortened accordingly. In addition, you can also adjust the grinding degree of the coffee to slow down the flow rate and make the coffee liquid more concentrated. Since each coffee shop will make different adjustments according to the coffee beans used and the specific flavor and texture that the barista hopes to present.

FrontStreet Coffee produces Australian white coffee in its daily stores. It uses 28-30g of concentrated coffee liquid, paired with about 180ml of hot milk with 0.5cm thick milk foam, and mixes it evenly.
Is Flat White high in calories?
Fuli Bai is milk + espresso. The calories of coffee are relatively small, but the calories of milk are not small. You can roughly think of yourself as drinking a glass of whole milk. The fat content of whole milk is 3.0%, the fat content of semi-skimmed milk is about 1.5%, and the fat content of full-skimmed milk is as low as 0.5%. If you want to lose weight, flat white is your first choice. The formula contains only coffee and milk, and the calories are much lower in comparison.
