From the roaster

  • Lots of body and sweetness

  • Floral notes and a touch of lemon

  • Tobacco and black pepper in the finish

The MILK MAN is a new blend, using two clean washed coffees, complemented by a portion of natural processed coffee to bring extra sweetness and complexity. While this is a versatile, all-purpose blend, its heart lies in creating exceptional espresso: the perfect base for dairy milk or plant-based drinks.

Our third Milk Man coffee is inspired by the drink that helped put specialty coffee on the map: the FLAT WHITE. While it’s often described simply as a stronger cappuccino, the reality is far more complex, with a rich and often debated history. At Caffenation, we prefer to keep things straightforward. We prepare our Flat White with a concentrated double espresso shot (34g yield) and serve it with nicely textured milk (60 C°) in a 190–200ml ceramic cup, creating a balanced and comforting coffee with a smooth, velvety texture.

Context

The Milk Man FLAT WHITE Blend, crafted by Caffènation, is a washed-process coffee designed specifically for milk-based preparations. While washed coffees are generally celebrated for their clean, bright acidity and consistent profile, this particular blend balances those characteristics with a distinct set of tasting notes including floral, lemon, tobacco, and black pepper. Understanding the impact of the processing methods is essential for any enthusiast, as the washed technique typically highlights the inherent clarity of the bean before it is roasted to suit a specific brewing application. To better identify these nuanced characteristics in your cup, we recommend referencing the flavor wheel to help categorize the interplay between the bright citrus notes and the deeper, savory spice elements found in this blend. Whether enjoyed as a flat white or a standalone espresso, this selection offers a complex profile that bridges the gap between delicate aromatics and robust, grounded flavors.
