Italians are crazy about their coffee and were the first Europeans to adopt the Middle Eastern drink.
A caffè macchiato is identical to an espresso macchiato, but should not be confused with a latte macchiato.
A latte macchiato is steamed milk ‘marked’ with espresso, as its Italian suggest, whereas a caffè macchiato is an espresso ‘marked’ with a spoonful of milk foam.
Macchiato literally mean ‘spotted’ in Italian.
It is normal for caffè macchiato: dot the surface of an espresso, in the usually small cup, with just a tablespoon or two of the milk, aiming to leave a brown ring visible around the edges.
