Since I moved away from Madrid City, one of the things I miss most is having a nice coffee place around the corner where I can have a decent flat white. There are literally zero places nearby that serve good coffee.
While this recipe is no substitute for a great flat white, it’s definitely better than no flat white. You will need an AeroPress, a way to boil water, and a way to froth your milk. I used a small protein shaker and 30 seconds of vigorous arm movement, but you can Google for better options.
Recipe
On your AeroPress, add 14 grams of coffee, ground for espresso or slightly coarser. I used 10 clicks on my Comandante and the results were reasonable. But coffee is all about personal preference, so use whatever works for you.
Pour 94 grams of boiling water.
Stir the coffee grounds for 20 seconds.
Close the AeroPress and push. You should end up with 50-ish grams of liquid.
Heat 100 ml of milk, froth it, and pour it onto your coffee. Now’s a good time to practice your latte art technique, if you’re into that sort of thing.
