Today I ordered a flat white. Not because I needed caffeine, but because I needed the barista to know I’m better than everyone else in line. It’s the litmus test of real coffee shops if they get it right, they pass. If they mess it up? Let’s just say their establishment suddenly becomes… invisible.

Flat whites aren’t just coffee, they’re a statement: “I travel, I judge, and I sip with superiority.” Regular lattes are for amateurs ..this is espresso with a tuxedo on.

And honestly, if you can’t taste the microfoam distinction, maybe coffee just… isn’t for you.

    Dad I can’t see too well is that John Cena over there.

  2. Looks like a bad flat white. That a food first establishment?

    Was Cena serious with that coffee flat white thing, or was that a joke?

    I need nanofoam to leave a shop on the list and picofoam to call it good. There are no good coffee shops yet /s

    I do the same with cortados. Easier to judge how good the straight espresso is when there’s a 1:1 espresso/milk ratio.

    Oh now we all know John Cena’s Reddit account

    That is a weird way of spelling caffè macchiato.
    In a second note r/espressocirclejerk is that way.

    Just asked a barista about this today. Her answer would have made Cena proud. 5oz
