On a recent trip to Melbourne I sampled 3 excellent flat white/lattes at 3 different top coffee shops. I dont get much chance to drink top coffee except my own so it was an interesting comparison. The latte art put me to shame and the taste of all 3 was great but they were decidedly cooler than the ones I make at home. I suspect we brew at the same or similar temperature and steam the milk to a similar one as well but I always preheat the cup with an initial flush just before I brew. Is there a "standard" or agreed ideal temp? I suspect I will still continue to do it my way as it allows me a little more time to enjoy my coffee before it cools too much.
