About
Australia and New Zealand both claim it, from the 1980s. Smaller than a latte with thinner foam, so the coffee comes through.
From Wikipedia
A flat white is a drink consisting of espresso coffee and steamed milk. It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk than a latte, and does not have the thick layer of foam of a cappuccino. The origin of the flat white is unclear; café owners in both Australia and New Zealand claim its invention. The name, however, was in use in England in the 1960s for an espresso-based coffee.
