The "flat white" would be called a latte here in the U.S. Your "long black" is interesting, because it is similar to the U.S. "Americano" except the "assembly instructions" are reversed. Your way preserves the crema (which I think is a Good Thing). My daughter manages a high end espresso shop here, so I've sent her the instructions. She replied to me that this is exactly the way they make "Americanos" but I'm not sure if other shops (like Starbucks) do it the same way.
