[QUOTE="Zardnaar, post: 9488420, member: 6716779"] Australia or NZ. NZ got it's tradition from Australia. Boring history bits. 1930s. Italian immigrants in Melbourne 1940s Americano invented. Italian coffee style doesn't appeal to American troops. 1950s spreads through rest of Australia post war 1980s. Reaches NZ. Flat White is invented in Wellington NZ (via a mistake) or Australia. Early 2000s Starbucks sends staff to Australia iirc. Flat White reaches USA. Think that's the pop culture version. Starbucks coffee is weak and bitter comparatively and they were one of the big trendsetter in USA. I didn't know what a latte was until 1996. By 1990s you could find thrm in snall towns. 80s options were black or white generally. Personally and couldn't tell you the difference with cappuccino until years later. [/QUOTE]
