The #1 reason your Flat White doesn't taste right

We wanted to find out what the ideal coffee-to-milk ratio is, and if it changes depending on the blend. So, naturally, we did a few tests.

As a Starbucks barista this makes so much sense as to why it's so hard to do art at work. We have goof default ratios to do it and we don't often get trained about what ratios could make it easier. Love your videos!

Can you break it down to mg/ml. Eg for a 340ml cup (double) Aim for ~40ml espresso and ~??ml milk. (I assume 40*5.5 = 220mls) - haven't had my coffee yet though

I love your videos so much! They’re informative, entertaining, and well produced. Greetings from Berlin, Germany!

Is your ratio for espresso counted by yield? If so, are you brewing espresso at a 1:3 ratio?

Such a narrow range. I was hoping to see if some people were gonna like cortados considering no one ever even orders it.

Foreigner here. The milk in Australia is SO GOOD. All the dairy in Australia is so good, like eggs, ice cream, etc.

I thoroughly enjoy these kind of videos of yours: info + entertaining...to say nothing of your outfit while describing a black coffee drinker. :)

I prefer like 4 to 4.5 oz milk and around 36g of coffee. Strong flat whites are all I drink. I like mediums for this but I really like certain medium/darks. I remember having the best damn flat white I’ve ever had in Paris 3-4 days in a row.

Okay, but what grass species are the dairy cows being fed?

Here's another one to throw into the mix. How about if the shot is a double ristretto? For example a double @ 22g is obviously a lot more intense than a single of the same weight. The milk ratio would have to be adjusted. Very subjective with so many variables to keep us caffeinated geeks entertained. 👨‍🔬

Can you recommend a good milk pitcher for pouring art?

[msupra]

So if as an example a split shot is 20g, would you then steam 110g of milk and serve in a 170ml cup?

Good info. I’ve always wondered what people (more cafes actually) classify as a single and a double shot in terms of grams of coffee and also the yield. Maybe you’ve done a video on this, but would be cool to see if you haven’t.

I'm having a little trouble with Coffee to milk ratio, if I have a yield of 34g of coffee, how many gram of milk I should add in 1:5.5 ratio?
