I hate flat whites, because of this. It never tastes like a coffee, it’s just coffee-flavoured milk.
Love me a big fat cappuccino though, my go-to order always. I use it as an indication on whether the cafe is good: if the capp tastes like a flat white = bad cafe, if it tastes like coffee (and isn’t burnt) = good cafe.

My thinking behind it is that a strong coffee + warm milk = strong smooth coffee. Apparently not.
I do go and see an actual human coffee maker on occasions but she’s on the other side of town. That lady makes the best cappuccinos I’ve ever had.
