My Flat White Roadshow
By Alan Hartney, Starbucks UK & Ireland Coffee Ambassador
Over the last four weeks I have made over 1,000 Flat Whites as I have toured around the UK and Ireland training our partners how to make the perfect Flat White. I have visited places like Birmingham, Manchester, Edinburgh, and of course, my home town, Dublin. It was great to spend time with the teams who were only too happy to show off their amazing skills at making Flat Whites (check out this awesome one from Kat in Edinburgh!). Not only did I get to share some tips and tricks, but I have taken some away with me too.
In case you haven’t heard about the new Starbucks Flat White, it comes from New Zealand or Australia (depending on who you talk to) and is made with two shots of our 100% Fairtrade Espresso and some seriously creamy steamed whole milk which makes it a short drink that packs a punch. If you like your coffee strong, you will like this.
It was a really proud moment for me when we took Flat White national on the 25th January. All the hard work, passion and training was well worth it – especially when you see a customer enjoying your creation. It’s been great. I hope you enjoy your Flat Whites as much as we enjoy making them!

I am thrilled about the Flat Whites. I love them.
Where have you been all my life Flat White? x
Hey it’s AKT from my old store
I’m soooooooooooooo proud >_<
I just want to say how much I adore that Flat White. It’s a little cup of bliss. It’s creamy smooth texture really works well with the richness of the coffee. (the latté art always helps XD)
Cheers, (please make more nice coffees)

Flat. White. 2 words: ‘Thank you.’
For when an espresso is too short, a latte too long and a macchiato just won’t do – it’s the Flat White that makes its mark (see what I did there?). 120 degrees of velvety bliss!
Danny, you said it.
Poor effort, leave it to the Independants or Costa who really do make great hand crafted delights. Shelly – Birmingham….
I love my coffee but even a tall coffee is just too much coffee in one cup for me. Thank goodness for the introduction of the flat white – tried them in New Zealand a few years ago and have loved them ever since. This will be my regular Starbucks coffee tipple from now on.
I love the flat white, and I have been drinking it for ages. I do not understand the stigma that seems to be involved in ordering it in restaurants!
