Are we still doing Flat-Whites? It was the only drink I ever really mastered... (i.redd.it)

Damn this is the best one I’ve seen in a while

DreyaNova [OP] 13 points 2y ago

Thank you. I was quite proud.

It was the one drink I never could master lol

Same, I think I have done it perfect one time.

Pour your milk from higher up right through the middle, slow enough to keep the crema intact, until about half an inch from the top. Then bring your pitcher close to pour your last bit of foam in a dot:) (its the only one I get right every time)

I would say it's the only drink that requires any skill TO master lol

I never get a good dot on alternate milk flat whites. Pretty consistently decent on whole milk tho.

I can get the coconut milk but that almond milk flat white lives in my head rent free

One of my proudest moments as a partner was making a perfect Flat White when the DM and his crew were visiting the store and I was randomly on bar. Can’t make a bone dry cap for shit though

Yes

It’s my favorite drink!

If you make em, I'll drink em. That's pretty awesome, I never learners to make ristretto shots, so I think if you mastered flat white, you've also mastered Latte.

I have a couple of regulars that still order them.

whateverloserz 2 points 2y ago

How? Please help me, I try and can’t master it. 🥺

It’s all about the pour. Pour slow, pour from really high up, and as you get to the end of the pour, go in for the dip and pull back again.

That’s how you get the little dot.

I like to think “pour one out for the (fallen barista) homies” and the automatic body movements that accompany the gesture.
