How to Make a Traditional Macchiato (not the fake one) - BTC Barista Tutorial Series, Episode #18

Caffè macchiato, sometimes called espresso macchiato, is an espresso coffee drink with a small amount of milk, usually foamed. In Italian, macchiato means "stained" or "spotted", so the literal translation of caffè macchiato is "stained coffee" or "marked coffee". There are two types of traditional macchiatos: a latte macchiato and a caffè macchiato. A latte macchiato is a larger drink. It is mostly steamed milk and foam, with just about half a shot of espresso. Conversely, even though a caffè macchiato is traditionally about half the size of a latte macchiato, it’s a much stronger drink. it is more popular and uses a whole shot of espresso, with just a small dollop of foamed milk on top. Clearly, both types of traditional macchiatos are straightforward espresso drinks, unlike Starbucks’ numerous variations. If you’re looking to try the real version, most local coffee shops will know what to do. We strongly urge you buy the normal version instead of go to Starbucks and get the fatty, sugary one.
