Why Is An Espresso With Milk Called A 'Flat White' In Aussie And NZ, But Nowhere Else In The World?
Q: For non-Aussies and Kiwi's, a 'Flat White' is an Espresso coffee, made with milk (but not as much milk as a Latte), and not a lot of foam (so it's not a Cappucino either). They only seem to be called 'Flat Whites' in Aus & NZ and I'm curious as to why. We also have the 'short black' (which anywhere else in the world would be called an Espresso) and the 'long black' (a tall Espresso.) Again - no idea why they're called these names and I'd love to know why!
A: I traveled to Australia and NZ over Winter Break this year, and thought about that question myself. I asked my Australian cousins and some Kiwis but none of them knew why either. It's kind of an understood thing, just as many things are different in those two places, as I found out on my travels. The only thing that they could figure is that a 'Flat White' is called such a name because it is frothy on top making a white color and is flat because that sort is used without whipped cream. A Short/Long Black is because Espressos are black and you can get them in two different sizes. Really, it does make sense when you think about it, but why? It truely is a mystery that one cannot explain! The greek guy at the cafe across the road always 'corrects' me if I ask for a 'Flat White'. He's like...."Latte, Latte", it pisses me off. He should know better. One day I'm going to tell him where to stick his blardy Latte!
