There is also the “latte macchiato,” which, similarly, is not sweetened except for the natural sugars of the milk. Think of it like a dry cappuccino with even more focus on the taste of the espresso. A macchiato is espresso served in a demitasse cup with a very delicate amount of foamed milk added on top to cut the bitterness of the espresso. In fact, it’s quite the opposite even compared to its cappuccino and latte brethren. In Italy, the macchiato - “stained coffee” or “marked coffee” - is not a large drink or particularly dessert-like. Let’s get this out of the way up front: the macchiato is probably not what you think it is.
If not for its velvety caramel drizzle that caps the foam, then for the creamy and slightly spicy blend of the milk, caramel, and vanilla.īut you may be surprised to know its origins counter how most of us have come to think of the drink. It first hit coffee shops in the late 1990s and has become a staple latte drink since.
It’s no overstatement to say that the caramel macchiato is one of the most delightfully indulgent drinks in the coffee world
