espresso ....". Just to be clear, for those outside of Australiasia (flat whites are mainly found in NZ and Asutralia), here are the receipies for each: It appears there s actually no universally agreed recipe for coffee types, although there are definitely agreed guidelines.  (as an aside, I think the wikpedia article is rather limited on coffee types and needs LOTS of work!) Flat White: 2/3 coffee, 1/3 milk (or there abouts) Latte: 1/3 coffee 2/3 milk (or there abouts) So, when one puts a flat white in a large glass or cup and adds more milk to fill it up, it's just turned into a latte. White and Black Version: A "large flat white" is a latte, so coffee shops should take it off their menu, and people should not order one.  The end. I went to a cafe in aucks and they had a flat white in a cup or bowl and a cafe latte as two seperate things, they had a description of each one and there was something different done with the milk, i think it said the latte was mostly milk Ricky -- well latte would have MORE milk. But in a large bowl that might mean 80% milk for a latte vs 70% for the so called "flat white in a bowl". Flat white should be more coffee than milk, which means anything "large" wont work unless they do 4+ shots.
