Flat white

A smaller, stronger milk drink with a thin, glossy top. Common café practice; Ascaso gives no recipe.

Pull a double shot, or your ristretto dose, into a 150 to 180 ml cup.
Switch to steam and purge until it spurts.
Texture about 120 ml of cold milk only briefly, so it grows by a fifth or less.
Sink the tip and swirl to about 60 °C, until it shines like wet paint. Knob shut, steam off.
Pour low and fast into the middle, leaving a top under 1 cm, then cool the thermoblock.
