This foam will help to hold the coffee&#8217;s crema.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what does a classic latte taste like?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The drink\u2019s high milk content results in a very <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/hollicoffee.com\/light-vs-dark-roast-coffee\/\">light taste<\/a>, hence, softening the bitter taste of espresso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What-is-a-Macchiato\"><\/span><a><\/a>What is a Macchiato?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The Macchiato (or Caff\u00e8 Macchiato) is yet another strong Italian espresso drink served in a small cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This type of espresso is <strong>strong<\/strong> and <strong>flavorful<\/strong>, while the small portion of milk foam adds a <strong>creamy richness<\/strong> to its taste profile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sounds delicious, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A typical macchiato has around .5 ounces of steamed\/foamed milk paired with a <strong>single or double shot of espresso<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Typically, it\u2019s <strong>served in a glass cup<\/strong> and has <strong>two distinct layers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Fun Fact:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Italian word <strong>Macchia <\/strong>means &#8220;stain&#8221; and macchiare means &#8220;to stain.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, you read that right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When added to the espresso, the milk stains the espresso creating an alluring layer of velvet.

Whereas, <strong>a caff\u00e8 latte has more steamed milk than espresso<\/strong>, thus, releasing more sugar and creating a sweeter taste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More so:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A typical latte has 1 part espresso and 3 parts milk<\/strong>. On the other hand, the macchiato has less milk, so it&#8217;s easier to taste the bold espresso.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In essence, <strong>a macchiato has 2 parts espresso and 1 part milk<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total caffeine content<strong> will depend on your preference<\/strong>; i.e. a single or double shot of espresso.

A macchiato is perfect for those who want an iced or hot \u201cpick me up\u201d <strong>without the espresso&#8217;s bitterness<\/strong>.<br\/>A macchiato is small and light; making it the <strong>ideal drink to grab on the go<\/strong>.

The upside-down latte is a rather interesting take on the traditional latte drink.<br\/>In this variation, <strong>espresso coffee beans are added to your usual cup of steamed milk before<\/strong> you pour any foam over it for extra taste and texture! <strong>The sequencing is what makes it different.<\/strong><br\/>On the other hand, the macchiato has an entirely different coffee-to-milk ratio.<\/p> <\/div> <div class=\"schema-faq-section\" id=\"faq-question-1658204064383\"><strong class=\"schema-faq-question\">What Makes an Espresso Macchiato Different from Coffee?<\/strong> <p class=\"schema-faq-answer\">A macchiato is an <strong>espresso with a little bit of milk foam on top<\/strong>. Regular coffee is usually hot water diluted with coffee grounds.<br\/>To make a macchiato, add a little bit of steamed milk to an espresso shot \u2013 enough to make a thin layer on top.
