Flat White

If you're looking for a Flat White in Gapyeong

A Flat White brings espresso and steamed milk together in a smaller cup than a latte, topped with a thin layer of microfoam. It should feel silky on the palate without letting the milk overwhelm the espresso.

A great Flat White is defined by its texture. Rather than sitting on top as a stiff cap of froth, the steamed milk integrates seamlessly with the espresso so the coffee flavour stays clear from the first sip to the last.

That is also why it is served in a smaller cup than a latte. Rather than focusing on a large volume of milk, it brings the sweetness of steamed milk and rich espresso together in every sip.

Three details set a well-made Flat White apart: microfoam that stays thin and velvety, milk steamed so it does not mask the coffee flavour, and a clean finish that remains smooth as the cup cools.

AWAKEN Coffee Roasters roasts in-house in Gapyeong, drawing on barista experience in Melbourne. The Flat White is one of the clearest ways to experience that craft—fine milk steaming and balanced espresso flavour come through right away from the first sip, without needing a long explanation.
