As an Australian coffee lover intending to travel in Germany, I need to get my coffee terminology sorted out. In Australia and New Zealand, many people drink a type of coffee referred to as a "flat white". The Australian flat white is probably closest to a latte in that it is still creamy milk over the same amount of espresso. However, our flat white has a little bit less microfoam than a latte and usually less volume, giving it a distinctly different taste. The latte is traditionally served in a glass and the flat white in ceramic. If I need my favourite fix of a flat white in Germany, what should I ask for? Or do I just give up and ask for "Kaffee mit milch, bitte"?
How to sort out my coffees in Germany?

I came across this link which doesn't exactly cover it:

Leo dictionary has this for flat white:
Espresso mit heißer, unaufgeschäumter Milch
A bit of a mouthful :) I wonder if they would understand flat white coffee, I will ask my german friend.
