What Everyone Ought to Know About a True Macchiato
 Macchiato
comes from the Italian word that means "stained". Quite literally it
is a short espresso with a dollop of steamed milk foam added to it, one to
two teaspoons max. In America there is some confusion as to what a
macchiato is because of Starbucks which sells a long coffee drink with
caramel flavor added to it that it calls a macchiato. To distinguish
the true macchiato from the one on offer at Starbucks, you will find many
coffee shops refer to a true machiatto as an "espresso macchiato".
Most often they are made in full-sized cups (12oz) and the amount of milk
foam that is heaped on top of them turns them into a cappuccino. This
picture of a macchiato I made at home should give you an idea of what a true
macchiato should look like and how to make one.
