Can flat white Coffee be made into Iced Coffee? the correct way to make Furei White Coffee

When we go to the coffee shop to drink milk coffee, we will order a latte if we like the mild taste. If we like the coffee with a stronger flavor, the barista will suggest a cup of Flat white. The Flat white produced by Qianjie store not only has the flavor of whisky, cream and vanilla, but also has berry-like sour and sweet, showing a full aroma of coffee.

What's the difference between a Flat white and a latte?

Also made up of only milk and espresso, Flat white and latte have obvious differences in taste and taste. Latte Caffe Latte means milk in Italian. Latte pays attention to achieving a balance between coffee and milk, which can taste both the taste of coffee and the sweetness of milk. The two cooperate with each other without masking each other's taste. Flat white is by adding milk to highlight the flavor of coffee, coffee is the protagonist, milk is only auxiliary. Therefore, the coffee flavor of Flat white is more abundant and more intense.

Although Flat white has its own characteristics, there is no fixed production proportion in the industry. The baristas of each coffee shop present different Flat white according to their different understanding of it and the Italian coffee beans used in their own stores.

The Flat white produced by the New Zealand barista is presented in a coffee cup smaller than a latte (about 150ml), and the substrate is uniformly double concentrated. In this way, as the amount of milk decreases, the proportion of coffee increases, and the flavor of coffee naturally becomes more intense. So Flat white also has the name of "little latte".

With the continuous improvement of baristas' extraction technology, in order to better express the aroma of Australian and white coffee beans, the Melbourne Cafe will also replace the base with double Ristretto, adding milk bubbles as thick as lattes in 150ml cups. Ristretto refers to espresso with less liquid weight extracted by the same amount of powder, which can be said to be a reduced version of espresso, which is more concentrated in the front and middle of the extraction and has a stronger taste, so there is a higher demand for the quality of coffee beans.

In Australia, however, baristas prefer to keep milk bubbles thinner than lattes. When they produce Australian white, they use cups of the same capacity as lattes, with more emphasis on the difference in foam thickness. Compared with lattes, cappuccinos and other milk cafes, Frey White's milk foam is the thinnest, usually in 0.3~0.5cm. The word "Flat" in Flat white means flat, and the foam must be so thin that it doesn't bulge so that every sip of espresso is covered with a thick layer of foam. So Fuluibai is also known as "plain white coffee". Latte milk bubbles are mostly bulging around 0.5~0.7cm, while Australian White Coffee milk bubbles can only be below 0.5cm, otherwise it is difficult to reach a "flat" liquid level. Qianjie hopes that the taste of Fu Ruibai is as smooth as cream and not too "water", and the foam layer of 0.3cm will be retained.

What's the Flat white like on the front street?

So each coffee shop will present a unique Flat white style according to its own preferences and skills, combined with the characteristics of its own coffee beans, as well as its understanding of Flat white. Qianjie retains the characteristics of small cups, thin bubbles and double essence espresso on the Flat white.

The Italian blend coffee used in Qianjie is a home-baked "sunflower sunflower blend". It is a combination of 70% Honduran sherry coffee and 30% Yega sherry sun-tanned cherry coffee. Shirley's whisky, vanilla and cream flavors with tropical fruits and fermented red cherries make the coffee in the cup rich and soft.

Coffee base, Qianjie Coffee will choose double essence espresso (Double Ristretto), 20 grams of coffee powder will extract 30 grams of coffee solution, extraction time is 25: 27 seconds, but Qianjie Coffee needs to be reminded that the extraction scheme of each coffee bean will be slightly different, this extraction program is the extraction parameters adjusted by the barista before business every day, and is adjusted according to the warm sun mix used by the store.

Pour the extracted coffee liquid into a cup with a capacity of about 200ml prepared in advance, and pour 150ml's milk into the milk jar. Milk needs less air than lattes, the foam layer is thinner and denser, and the temperature is better controlled at 55-60 degrees Celsius. Finally, the milk will be evenly mixed into the coffee liquid, whether you pull flowers or not. The Flat White in front of the street shows the taste of chocolate milk and whisky heart chocolate, with a mellow taste and a long finish.

Can Flat white make ice?

Usually we can choose to make an ice drink or a hot drink when we drink lattes, while Flat white only serves hot drinks. This is because the barista hopes that when drinking Australian white, every mouthful of milk foam can be perfectly combined with the bottom milk coffee, only under the premise that the milk foam is very dense, thin and the temperature is suitable for the entrance. Only then can each mouthful drink milk foam and fragrant coffee liquid at the same time, and drink up quickly before the milk foam is stratified. After adding ice, the cooled milk coffee will be diluted to a certain extent, unable to achieve the above effect.

If you are looking for a full-bodied milk coffee with a chilled taste, Qianjie suggests that you can try an iced latte or "Dirty" coffee, which has been quite popular in the past two years. Espresso will slowly flow into the frozen fresh milk surface, while Espresso in the milk surface and the edge of the glass slowly infiltrate and sink, white fresh milk seems to have been stained, showing a "dirty" look, the alternating hot and cold taste is very unique.
