There are a few different stories about how the flat white got its name. One story claims that the name comes from the fact that the coffee is served with a thin layer of milk froth, giving it a "flat" appearance. Another story says that the name comes from the fact that the coffee is made with espresso that has been "flattened" out with hot water. Whatever the origin of the name, one thing is for sure: flat whites are delicious! If you haven't tried one yet, make sure to order one next time you're at your favorite coffee shop.
