What I actually order.

Everything else on this site is a general guide — this page is the one exception where it's just my own taste.

Flat White

My go-to order is a flat white — a double shot with velvety microfoam milk, small enough that it stays hot to the last sip and strong enough to still taste like coffee under the milk. I like it slightly hotter than most baristas pull it, and always in a ceramic cup rather than paper.
