Award-Winning Milk-Based Coffee · Every Medallist

Milk-Based is where the flat white, latte, and cappuccino live. This category judges coffees specifically on how they perform when paired with milk — the balance between roast intensity, sweetness, and body that makes a great milk coffee. The roast profile that wins as a straight espresso often falls flat in a flat white, so the roasters who medal here have usually developed their blend with milk in mind from the start.
