Begin by brewing a fresh shot of espresso using your espresso machine or preferred method. Set aside.
Measure 150 ml of oat milk and pour it into a milk frothing pitcher. The ideal oat milk should be creamy and able to create microfoam when steamed.
Steam the oat milk using the steam wand of your espresso machine. Insert the wand just below the surface of the milk and begin steaming, gradually lowering the jug as the milk foams. Aim for a smooth, velvety microfoam texture without large bubbles.
Once the oat milk has reached approximately 60–65°C (140–150°F) and has a silky texture, set aside to let any large bubbles settle.
Pour the freshly brewed espresso into a warm cup.
Gently swirl the frothing pitcher to polish the milk and eliminate any remaining large bubbles, then tap it lightly on the counter.
Slowly pour the steamed oat milk over the espresso in a steady stream, starting in the center and moving the pour around to ensure an even mix of espresso and milk.
Continue pouring until you've incorporated all the steamed milk, creating a characteristic white top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your perfectly balanced oat milk flat white.
