Google Doodle Cheers for Flat White Day

"Celebrating the Flat White: Google Doodle Marks the Day It Joined the Oxford English Dictionary"

 


Today's Google Doodle is all about celebrating flat white coffee, a popular and beloved drink. On March 11, back in 2011, the term "flat white" officially made its way into the Oxford English Dictionary. This tasty coffee concoction, consisting of steamed milk poured over a shot of espresso, is thought to have originated in Australia and New Zealand, making its debut on menus in Sydney and Auckland during the 1980s.

The animated Google Doodle features a cup, coffee pot, spoonful of espresso, and beans. Initially, the cup is empty, but as coffee and steamed milk are added, a cheerful smiley face appears on the side of the cup.

What sets flat whites apart is their "flatness" compared to other coffee drinks like cappuccinos or lattes. This characteristic makes them a hit among coffee enthusiasts who prefer less foam in their brew. Baristas often showcase their skills by creating impressive artwork with the pour, a common sight in many cafes across Australia and New Zealand. You can enjoy your flat white made with either traditional or plant-based milk, catering to various preferences. So, if you're into a smoother, less frothy coffee experience, the flat white might be your perfect cup of joe.
