A flat white is an espresso beverage originating from from Australia and New Zealand, it is prepared by pouring microfoam (steamed milk from the bottom of a pitcher) over a single or double shot of espresso. It is similar to the latte and the café au lait and like other espresso based beverages it can be interpreted various ways.

The beverage is typically served in a small, 150–160 millilitre (5 to 6 ounces) ceramic cup. Microfoam is used, resulting in a smooth and velvety texture. A flat white may incorporate latte art.
