A macchiato is a popular Italian espresso-based coffee drink, characterised by a shot of espresso that is topped with a layer of steamed milk and a dollop of foamed milk.
Here are the steps to make a perfect macchiato:
Ingredients:
- Double shot of espresso (we would recommend the Ethiopian coffee beans for its vibrant fruity and flowery characteristics)
- Whole milk
- Froth the milk until it's light and airy, but not too thick
Instructions:
- Brew a double shot of espresso into a cup.
- Slowly pour the steamed milk into the cup.
- Top with a dollop of foamed milk.
Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality espresso beans.
- Use whole milk for a richer flavor and texture.
- Frother the milk until it's light and airy, but not too thick.
- Pour the steamed milk slowly to create a layered effect.
- Top with a dollop of foamed milk for a visually appealing finish.
Enjoy your perfect macchiato!
