Google celebrated the flat white coffee with a special doodle on March 11, commemorating its inclusion in the Oxford English Dictionary in 2011. The doodle honors the drink's velvety texture and robust espresso foundation. With origins in Australia and New Zealand from the 1980s, the flat white is known for its balanced mix of double shot espresso and steamed milk, resulting in a smoother texture than a latte or cappuccino. The flat white has a "flatter" foam compared to its coffee cousins and is typically served in a smaller, 165ml tulip cup. The article also touches upon the debate over its exact origin and provides a recipe for making a flat white at home.
