When and where baristas started producing the microfoam that flat whites are known for, though, I've no idea, it depends on who you ask, but flat white is about 1: intensity (vs that of latte and cappuccino) and 2: milk texture – which is silky, velvety “microfoam” milk texture. However, if you like the sweetness that comes with oat milk and plentiful froth, then oat is a great alternative. You wouldn't want to use a steam wand to froth milk for milk shakes, unless you want hot milkshake, and each to their own – I suppose if it's a chocolate flavoured hot milk shake it would be a hot chocolate ;-).
