Yeah, I’ll admit to being wrong and phrasing what I was thinking in a bad way. I’m imagining those diagrams which show coffee, then milk, then froth. Flat whites shouldn’t have a discernible ‘layer’ of froth, it’s blended into the steamed milk. Also, I was reacting to dixon saying he didn’t like too much milk in his coffee, when a flat white is ostensibly a milk-based coffee.It does though, as a flat white has milk, milk foam and espresso..... a Late has espresso and milk.
So as milk is obviously denser than milk foam, it must mean late has more milk??
I apologise for my phrasing.Maybe costa coffees interpretation of a flat white doesnt. Go into a proper coffee shop and it does.
A flat white is a shorter drink with the same amount of coffee in as a latte, but because it's shorter it has less milk. Simple maths tells you it has a higher ratio of coffee to milk.
