Why is there no ice in Furebai? Why can't flat white Australian white coffee be made with ice?

Those who have been to the front street store know that there is no Flat White or Dirty in the menu on the front street, but if you can tell the barista on the front street about these hidden menus, the front street will still produce them.

Front Street does this, on the one hand, because Front Street thinks these belong to special lattes. People who understand them order them without looking at the menu, and those who don't understand them will increase their entangled options; on the other hand, they avoid some strange ordering requirements. However, the strange request still appeared..."Do you have Flat White here?" "Yes!" "Please give me a cup!" "Okay, wait a moment!" "Ice!"“？？？”

In fact, Flat White is no ice, traditional Flat White is only hot. Flat White is actually Australian latte coffee, referred to as Australian white (white means milk coffee). Flat White is characterized by fewer cups, less milk and more sweetness than latte coffee. In Australian coffee shops, there will also be latte coffee and Flat White coffee, they will have different positioning of these two coffees, latte coffee or go back to the classic Italian flavor, using a comprehensive blend of Italian beans. For Flat White, formula beans or single beans with outstanding flavor performance will be used to highlight the flavor of coffee.

Therefore, Flat White seems to be a cup of milk coffee, but in fact, it is a reasonable match with milk to highlight the sweeter taste of coffee. Usually a cup of Flat White is between 180-200ml, and the small cup also means that guests can enjoy it as soon as possible, and do not let it cool. Espresso extraction, on the other hand, selects a stronger Ristretto, which enhances the acidity and roast flavor of the coffee and makes the whole cup more intense.

In terms of milk, Flat White's milk will be very thin, and the temperature of the milk should be well controlled. The temperature of the coffee should be about 50 degrees Celsius, so it is the most obvious temperature for human sensory sweetness when drinking directly. In Flat White, milk is more like a supporting role, making coffee more prominent.

Having said that, the main reason why Flat White does not have an ice version is that Australians have not invented Ice Flat White. In fact, in the Italian coffee system, there are only two kinds of coffee that can heat ice, American (black coffee) and latte (white coffee). Other derivatives are nothing more than adding various syrups and chocolates, and then changing milk into coconut milk, soy milk and oat milk. So Front Street, when confronted with a customer who wants an iced Flat White, will explain the fact that there is no iced Flat White and then suggest that he choose an iced latte or Dirty.

There are also some enthusiastic coffee shops that will help Australians complete the version of Ice Flat White, keep the small cup size, highlight the coffee flavor characteristics, just like the practice of ice latte, add equal proportions of milk and ice, and then pour Double Ristretto, so don't be surprised to see some coffee shops selling Ice Flat White!
