Espresso Macchiato – a name that makes the hearts of coffee lovers beat faster. But what is behind this delicious Italian creation? In this article, we delve into the world of Espresso Macchiato, discover its origins and reveal the secret of its perfect preparation.

WHAT IS ESPRESSO MACCHIATO?

The espresso macchiato is a traditional Italian coffee specialty that owes its name to the "stained" (Italian: "macchia") milk foam. Unlike its more well-known relative, the cappuccino, the espresso macchiato is characterized by its concentrated coffee aromas, which are rounded off by a touch of milk. Originally, the espresso macchiato was not only enjoyed as a breakfast coffee in Italy, but accompanied coffee lovers throughout the day.
