What is Flat White (Almond Milk)?
A flat white (almond milk) is made with espresso and steamed almond milk, finished with a thin layer of fine, glossy microfoam. The drink is commonly associated with the café cultures of Australia and New Zealand, though its exact origins are often debated.
It has a smooth, velvety texture and a more pronounced coffee flavour than a milkier latte; the foam is usually finer than a cappuccino’s. It is served in a small cup and works well as a morning coffee or an afternoon café drink, with a biscuit or pastry if you want something alongside it. With 27 calories per 100 g, it is a relatively light choice; skipping flavoured syrups keeps the espresso and almond notes in focus.

Frequently Asked Questions About Flat White (Almond Milk)
What is a flat white with almond milk?
A flat white with almond milk is espresso topped with heated, finely textured almond milk. It is usually served in a smaller cup than a latte, with a thin, glossy layer of microfoam and a pronounced coffee flavour.
What is the difference between a flat white with almond milk and a cappuccino?
A flat white with almond milk has a thin layer of microfoam blended closely with the espresso, while a cappuccino traditionally has a thicker, airier foam cap. The exact texture can vary with the café’s recipe and almond milk.
How much caffeine is in a flat white with almond milk?
A flat white with almond milk contains caffeine because it is made with espresso. The amount depends on how much espresso the café uses and the coffee beans; almond milk does not reduce the caffeine.
Why does almond milk curdle in a flat white?
Almond milk can separate in a flat white when it meets hot, acidic espresso, especially if it is very cold or not designed for coffee. Gently warming it and pouring it in gradually can help prevent curdling.
Can you make good microfoam with almond milk for a flat white?
Yes, almond milk can be textured for a flat white, though some products produce larger bubbles or foam that collapses quickly. Barista-style almond milk is formulated to steam more smoothly and usually gives a finer microfoam.
Does a flat white with almond milk have added sugar?
Not necessarily: espresso and unsweetened almond milk do not require added sugar. Sweetened almond milk, flavoured syrups, or café sweeteners can add sugar, so ask how the drink is made if you want to avoid them.
Why does a flat white with almond milk taste watery?
A flat white with almond milk can taste watery if the espresso is weak, too much milk is added, or the almond milk is a low-solids variety. A stronger espresso and barista-style almond milk usually give a fuller flavour.
Can you make a flat white with almond milk at home?
Yes. Brew espresso, steam or gently heat almond milk until it is smooth and lightly foamed, then pour it slowly over the coffee. Avoid making a thick, dry foam cap; a flat white should have fine, integrated microfoam.
Can you order a flat white with almond milk iced?
Yes, many cafés can make an iced flat white with almond milk, although it is not the traditional hot, microfoamed version. Ask whether they use chilled espresso and almond milk, since recipes and availability vary by café.
Does a flat white with almond milk taste like almonds?
A flat white with almond milk can have a mild, nutty note, but espresso remains the main flavour when the drink is balanced. Sweetened or strongly flavoured almond milk makes the almond taste more noticeable.
