Macchiato

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Macchiato is an Italian word, meaning "marked" or "stained". It is frequently used to refer to two separate coffee drinks.

• Caffè macchiato (also known as Espresso macchiato), literally "espresso marked (with milk)":
  an espresso with a teaspoon of milk in it and a small "spot" of foam on top of the crema; hence a "marked" espresso. This drink is the traditional variation.
• Latte macchiato, literally "milk marked (with espresso)":
  steamed milk served in a glass with ½ shot of espresso or less poured through it, leaving a 'spot' of crema; hence "marked" milk.
