In January 2015, Starbucks in the United States began selling flat white, and launched it in different sizes. Then in September, Starbucks in mainland China also saw flat white, and used a rather elegant translation called "Furui Bai". In fact, Furui Bai is what everyone calls "Aussie white" coffee. It is also a type of espresso coffee, and its production method is very similar to cappuccino and latte. In this article, Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) will help everyone understand the differences between these coffees.
 

 
Whether it is cappuccino,Furui Baior latte, none of them can do without espresso. Espresso can be said to be the essence of Italian culture, and it has gradually integrated into the world's coffee culture. It uses high pressure to push water through finer coffee grounds, extracting the crema loved by espresso fans.
 

 
Then the extracted espresso is used with different milk ratios to make espresso coffee. For example, the Furui Bai coffee just mentioned by Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) is Aussie white coffee. Its milk foam is very thin, and its mouthfeel is extremely smooth. It is a drink with an extremely strong coffee flavor. When making it, some people choose a single shot of espresso or a double shot of ristretto, that is, Ristretto.
 
The reason whyFurui Baihas such a different coffee recipe is that it originated in New Zealand in the 1970s and 1980s and is very popular around the world, so corresponding changes occurred during its spread. For example, New Zealanders like to use Double Ristretto, while Australians use Single Espresso. So you will find that the flavor of Aussie white coffee varies greatly from shop to shop.
 
AndFurui Bai coffeehas very dense and thin milk foam, and the temperature of the milk coffee will not be too high. In every sip, you can taste the perfect combination of milk foam and the coffee-milk beneath it. In addition, Furui Bai coffee is generally hot, as only this way can you taste the mouthfeel of Furui Bai coffee. If ice cubes are added to Furui Bai coffee, it will be quickly diluted by the melting ice and become a cup of iced latte.
 

 
When Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) makes Furui Bai, it first extracts espresso, then steams the milk. For the cup, Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) uses a 180 ml tulip cup, pours the steamed milk into the espresso, integrates it to eight-tenths full, and then gently pushes out a pattern. BecauseFlat whitethe milk foam is relatively thin, the pattern easily becomes distorted, so it is recommended to make a relatively simple heart pattern or a dot pattern, or not to do latte art at all.
    

When making cappuccino, it is basically the same aslattein method. Both first extract espresso and steam milk, but there are still differences from latte. Cappuccino is also divided into dry cappuccino and wet cappuccino. Dry cappuccino has more milk foam and a rich mouthfeel; wet cappuccino has less milk foam than dry cappuccino and more milk aroma, but both have relatively more milk foam. In China, the latter method is more common. Thicker milk foam plus an appropriate amount of milk, with a dense mouthfeel, has captured many coffee lovers. Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) believes that cappuccino is like a latte with less milk and thicker milk foam. Its taste is richer than latte, and because the milk foam is thicker, the mouthfeel is denser. Therefore, when customers of Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) like thick milk foam, this cappuccino is generally recommended.
 

 
There is also the latte that everyone often orders. The meaning of its name "latte" is actually "milk" in Italian. Almost everyone directly calls latte coffee latte. Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) believes that latte is more like a kind of milk with coffee flavor. When making latte, you will find that the ratio of milk to coffee in each shop is different, but generally there is more milk than coffee.
 

 
When Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) makes latte, it is mainly divided into three parts. The first is to extract espresso, then to steam the milk, and finally to combine the steamed milk and coffee for latte art. The espresso blend currently used in Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) stores is Sunflower Warm Sun Blend, made with 60% sherry barrel coffee beans and 40% sun-dried Yirgacheffe. After multiple adjustments, it was determined to use 20 grams of coffee powder, extract 40 grams of coffee liquid, with an extraction time of 28 seconds.
 

 
The cup used for Front Street Coffee's (FrontStreet Coffee) latte is 300 ml, and 280 ml of milk can be poured in. The amount in the milk pitcher generally does not exceed 2/3, otherwise the milk is very likely to overflow during steaming. Before steaming the milk, you need to slightly open the steam switch and purge it briefly to release excess water from the steam wand, then submerge the steam tip of the steam wand into the milk surface and turn on the switch.
 

 
Then bring the steam hole into contact with the milk surface. This stage is to create milk foam and will make a relatively loud sound, and this stage determines the thickness of the milk foam. When the thickness of the milk foam is close to that of latte milk foam, it is time to texture the milk. After steaming enough milk foam, lift the milk pitcher and submerge the steam hole into the milk, letting the milk rotate and be steamed under the action of the steam. This stage determines the quality of the milk foam. After steaming is completed, open the steam hole to rinse away the milk residue inside. Generally, latte milk foam has a glossy surface, no bubbles, a moderate thickness of about 1 cm, and a certain fluidity. Finally, combine the steamed milk with the extracted espresso for latte art, and a cup of rich hot latte is completed.
 

 
Of course, there is also iced latte. Compared with hot latte, iced latte is very simple to make. Front Street Coffee (FrontStreet Coffee) generally first pre-cools the cup with ice cubes, pours in 100 grams of ice cubes and 180 grams of milk, and finally pours in espresso. Just stir well before drinking.
 

 
In summary, latte is more like a kind of milk with coffee flavor, while Furui Bai is more like a coffee with milk flavor, very thin milk foam, and a smooth mouthfeel, while cappuccino is a coffee drink with a rich coffee flavor and a dense mouthfeel. Everyone can choose according to the mouthfeel they like.
