Flat white coffee celebrate at Google Doodle.
The Google Doodle was remembered the global growth of flat white coffee on March 11. A flat white is a blend of espresso plus micro foam coffee. Generally speaking, it contains fewer micro foam than a cappuccino and a higher espresso-to-milk ratio than a caffe latte.

Flat white origin
The origin of flat white coffee has been the subject of intense debate. Both Australia and New Zealand claim to have invented the flat white in the 1980s. The answer is still unclear and probably the flat white originated from both countries.
Flat White Coffee vs Latte Coffee – What is the difference?
Now we know what a flat white is, what is the difference between a latte and a flat white?
Whilst a flat white coffee and a latte are both espresso-based drinks, they are in fact quite different. The most noticeable difference is the size. The ideal serving size for a flat white is a 160-165ml tulip cup—much smaller than the glass size typically used for lattes and cappuccinos.
This has an impact on the coffee to milk ratio, which naturally affects the taste. As the flat white is a more compact drink, the ratio of coffee to milk is much higher than in a latte. The espresso in a flat white coffee taste stronger than in a latte, even though the same amount is used. Lattes simply dilute the espresso more.
