Espresso Macchiato Recipe

This is a true and simple classic that often needs clearing up since many drinks have been called by this name. The word "macchiato" actually means marked, and it is a traditional Italian beverage that you can easily make for your enjoyment on your home espresso machine.

Ingredients:
  • Freshly ground espresso
  • Cold milk
This may seem incredibly easy, but it deserves to be clarified what exactly is the proper way to make this drink. Begin by brewing one shot of fresh espresso in your espresso machine. Then steam your milk to 160°, and hold the steam wand just below the surface to create foam.
You can then spoon your fresh foam onto your espresso to enjoy your delicious Espresso Macchiato- a real Italian treat!
