Google Doodle Celebrates Flat White Coffee Beverage With an Animated Doodle on March 11
Google Doodle Celebrates Flat White: On March 11, Google Doodle honored the global ascent of Flat White. A flat white is a mixture of espresso and microfoam coffee. Generally speaking, it has less microfoam than a cappuccino and a higher espresso-to-milk ratio than a caffè latte.
There is conjecture that the beverage was initially offered in Australia and New Zealand in the 1980s, as it was introduced on menus in Sydney and Auckland at about the same period. A flat white is traditionally served in a ceramic cup and consists of an espresso shot, steamed milk, and a thin layer of microfoam.
Coffee lovers like flat whites because they’re “flatter” than a cappuccino or latte and it has less foam.
Baristas frequently use their pouring technique to produce stunning artwork; this is a common occurrence in numerous cafes all around Australia and New Zealand.

Over time, coffee culture has evolved significantly, and with it, the methods for preparing flat whites. Coffee fans everywhere agree that coffee is the best pick-me-up in the morning or the afternoon, regardless of where it comes from!
What Differentiates a Latte from a Flat White?
Let’s examine the distinctions between a flat white and a latte now that we know what one is.
Although lattes and flat white coffee are both made using espresso, they are very different from one another. Their size is the most obvious difference. To serve a flat white, a 160–165 ml tulip cup works well.

significantly smaller than the standard lattes and cappuccinos glass.
This size difference impacts the ratio of coffee to milk, which in turn affects the flavor as a whole. A flat white contains a far higher ratio of coffee to milk than a latte because of its more compact design. As a result, even though the same amount of espresso is used in both, the flat white and latte taste stronger. Conversely, lattes tend to dilute the espresso more.
The very first Doodle was released in 1998 as a lighthearted reminder to Google users that Larry Page and Sergey Brin would not be in the office for Burning Man.
On Halloween 2000, the first animated doodle made its debut. When water was found on the moon in 2009, Google released the first-ever same-day Doodle.
