Flat white or latte? Here's the difference.

A flat white and a latte side by side on the counter

Short answer

Same double shot. A flat white is 6 oz with thin, silky milk, so you taste the coffee. A latte is 12 oz with more milk and a little foam, so it's softer.

In detail

They look alike on the menu. In the cup, they're not.

  1. Size.

    Flat white: 6 oz. Latte: 12 oz. Both get the same two shots.

  2. Milk.

    Flat white milk is steamed thin and glossy. A latte gets a little more foam on top.

  1. Taste.

    Flat white: coffee first, then milk. Latte: milk first, then coffee.

  2. How to pick.

    Want to taste the beans? Flat white. Want something to sip slowly? Latte.

Tip. Oat milk steams well in both, at no extra charge.
