Stem angle advice

On my good bike the stem sits almost flat but on my
Winter training bike the stock stem has quite a bit of rise in it giving a much higher bar height.
Looking at stems I notice they have various angle degrees on the descriptions. What should I be looking for to get a flat stem set up on the winter bike.
Cheers

To work it out horizontal you need to take your Head Tube angle (in degrees) away from 90 deg, the number left is what you'll require for a horizontal stem!
Why not take your existing stem off, flip it over then see how that feels?...Start with a budget, finish with a mortgage!0 -

If you are talking about the stems that fit onto a threadless steerer, then you probably know that most/all types are reversible. One way gives you a 'sticky up' option, the other a more horizontal position.0
