The perfect
espresso macchiato.
In German, “macchiato” means “the spotted one” or “the dotted one.” Originally, only a little milk foam was spooned onto an espresso; nowadays, a splash of milk is often poured over it.
An espresso macchiato is milder than a plain espresso, but retains its flavor.
Here's how to make this classic dish:
- Brew a simple espresso using 30 ml of water.
- Froth 30 ml of milk.
- Pour the frothed milk over the espresso.
Pro tip: A macchiato also tastes great with a ristretto.
We recommend the following brewing methods: a portafilter machine or a fully automatic coffee machine.
