Quick question whilst sitting at my desk...why is Flat White coffee only sold as one size ? whilst all the others can be sold as small, medium or large

Good question. I don’t have the answer.

I think it’s meant to be a defined ratio of coffee to milk. In general the larger sizes (if based on an espresso shot) just have more and more milk added- further diluting the shot.

More to the point, what UK citizen ever even knew what a Flat White coffee was before googling it before venturing into Starbucks or the local painfully trendy 'small batch' equivalent? In anybody's house you ever went to, you were only ever asked if you wanted milk and sugar.

From my time as a barista I can remember that it came from Australia and you can only get it in one size other wise it would just be a latte as the proportion of coffee to milk would be off.

but why NATO standard? No sugar in mine. ( a Julie Andrews white nun!) or you could have a Whoopie ( Woopie Goldburg black nun).....but then again while flying it was lemon tea only

Anyway I didn't think they had stewards when you were in the RAF bomber command

Doesn't make sense though Shirley? You would just increase said ratio of milk to coffee accordingly depending on size.
There again, maybe l'm just a

one steward/stewardess assigned to flight deck /GE not to be shared with scummy self loading freight.

Clearly not a real coffee drinker, every coffee drinker knows the choices include primo, medio, assimo, small, regular, short, tall, grande, venti.........
