And according to FrontStreet Coffee, in Australia, people only make hot Australian white coffee, because once they add ice cubes, it is a cup of Australian white coffee that has lost its soul, because the ice cubes will dilute the overall concentration, so it can also be understood that the cold version of the Australian white coffee is a latte.

Difference: In terms of cup size, latte coffee is larger than Australian white coffee. From the appearance, the milk foam of latte coffee is slightly thicker and has slight protrusions, while the milk foam of Australian white coffee is slightly thinner and flat. In terms of flavor, the milky flavor of latte is more intense, while the coffee flavor of Australian white coffee will be more prominent. Therefore, Australians joke that latte is coffee-flavored milk (meaning it is essentially milk), while Australian white is milk-flavored coffee (meaning it is essentially coffee).
 
Secondly, there is an Italian coffee that has a very good flavor that is completely different from Aubai which can only be used as hot drinks, that is Dirty coffee.

This espresso and Australian white are actually drinks on the espresso hidden menu in FrontStreet Coffee. The coffee cup used by FrontStreet Coffee when making Dirty must first be chilled in the refrigerator, then put refrigerated milk into the cup, and then pour in espresso. Visually, the coffee looks like stained white fresh milk. When tasting, the fusion of hot and cold brings a unique layered taste.

The biggest difference between it and Australian White is that normal dirty coffee can only be made iced. The hot espresso is brought into the cold milk to form layers. When you taste it, you will first have a warm and rich coffee flavor, and then turn to the cold milk flavor. Multiple experiences you can get with one drink. And traditionally Flat White can only be made hot, a cup of milk coffee with thin milk foam. Since the amount of milk is less than that of a latte, it tastes rich in coffee flavor. Plus a delicate taste.
