How To Make A Macchiato At Home [Easy Espresso Drink Recipe]

Our friend Austin Childress of Carabello Coffee is back to show you a simple way to make a macchiato at home.

The espresso macchiato, simply called a caffé macchiato in Italy, is the original form of this drink. In this case, the milk stains the espresso.

The point of this drink is to have an espresso slightly moderated or subdued by a splash of milk. Compared to other espresso-based drinks, the macchiato tips the espresso to milk scale the furthest towards espresso.

This drink is prepared by first pulling a shot of espresso, as normal. Then just a dash of steamed milk and a bit of foam are poured on top.

Espresso macchiatos can be served in glass or ceramic demitasse cups.
