I’d say a major part of it is the texture of the foam. If you have bad foam then I feel like it’s not even a flat white

a flat white is made first with whole milk steamed to achieve microfoam, making the body of the drink very nice and creamy. Ristretto shots are pulled with less water, making for a ‘sweeter’ espresso shot. Combined, they bring the best of steamed milk and espresso shots. Also, good luck!
