the story: Flat White at Coffee Pirates

The Flat White is a coffee drink,

which originated in Australia and New Zealand and is now popular in many countries around the world. However, the exact history of the Flat White is controversial and there are different versions about how and when it came about.

One story goes that the Flat White originated in Australia in the 1980s. At the time, there were a growing number of Italian cafes offering the classic cappuccino, espresso and latte. It is believed that an Australian barista, trained in Italy, came back to Australia and wanted to create a new coffee that combined the best qualities of espresso and milk. The Flat White was born, a cup of balanced espresso and milk, with a smooth, flat foam.

Another story says that the flat white originated in New Zealand. A New Zealand barista named Derek Townsend claimed to have invented the drink in the late 1980s while working in Wellington. Townsend said that the flat white was a "little brother" of the latte and was made with a shot of espresso and steamed milk to create a rich, creamy coffee.

Regardless of where the flat white actually originated, it has become a popular coffee drink over the past few decades. The flat white is made by pouring a shot of espresso into a cup and then topping it up with steamed milk to create a smooth, silky texture. Compared to the latte, the flat white has less milk but a stronger espresso note and a denser, finer foam.

Overall, the flat white has a rich and controversial history, but it is undeniable that it has become one of the most popular coffee drinks in the world.
