Latte macchiato combines the soft taste of warm frothed milk with the strong flavor of espresso.
The classic latte macchiato consists of two basic ingredients:
a shot (25 – 30 ml) of hot espresso
about 200 ml of warm, foamed milk
The key feature of this beverage are, with no doubts, the layers. The different textures and temperatures of frothed milk and coffee create a beautiful stratification: parts of them blend, but not completely. In the glass, you can see the three main elements: the denser and velvety frothed milk, the liquid hot milk and the espresso poured on top.
