How would you like to get a great cup of coffee without spending a lot of money? It’s easy. Just go to Starbucks and order a flat white.
You may be wondering what a flat white is, but don’t worry! It’s just another way for Starbucks to get more money out of you. A flat white is basically just a latte with less milk. So if you’re looking for something quick and easy, this is definitely the drink for you.
What Is A Flat White At Starbucks?
A flat white is a coffee drink that’s made with an espresso shot and steamed milk. It’s similar to a latte, but there are some key differences:
- A flat white has less foam than a latte. A latte has more foam, which means it has more of a foamy texture than the flat white.
- The flat white has less milk than the latte. This makes it lighter and easier to drink, while still being very flavorful.
What is the difference between a latte and a flat white?
A latte and a flat white are both coffee drinks, but their differences are slight. The main difference is that a flat white is made with espresso and steamed milk, while a latte has steamed milk and espresso.
A latte is similar to a cappuccino, which is made with espresso and foamed milk. But the difference between the two depends on where you order your drink: in Australia, they’re often served with steamed milk instead of foamed milk, so it’s not uncommon for an Aussie barista to call your drink “a cappuccino.”
What are the ingredients in a flat white?
A flat white is a coffee drink made with espresso, milk, and a little foam.
The main ingredient in a flat white is espresso. Espresso is a type of coffee that comes from the same beans as regular coffee but is extracted differently. The espresso process involves forcing hot water through finely ground coffee beans at very high pressure. This creates a shot that’s concentrated in flavor and contains more caffeine than regular brewed coffee.
In addition to espresso, milk and foam are also used to make flat whites. The milk provides a creamy texture and sweetens the drink slightly, while the foam adds some body to the drink without adding too much sweetness.
How much does a flat white cost at Starbucks?
So, you’re wondering how much a flat white costs at Starbucks?
Well, it depends on the size. You can get a tall flat white for $2.45 or a grande for $2.65. But if you’re really looking to treat yourself, we’d recommend getting an iced venti flat white—that’ll cost you $3.25!
If you’re looking to save some money by ordering off the secret menu, try asking for a “pumpkin spice latte” with extra espresso shots (two instead of one) and no whip cream or sugar. That’ll set you back about $2.50!
