Macchiato

A bold and sophisticated "marked" coffee. It consists of a double shot of espresso stained with a tiny dollop of velvety milk foam, designed for those who want the intensity of espresso with a hint of creamy sweetness.

1. Extract Espresso: Brew a double shot of espresso into a small demitasse cup. 2. Steam Milk: Froth a small amount of milk to create a dense, stiff microfoam. 3. Mark the Coffee: Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of the foam directly onto the center of the espresso crema. 4. Serve: Present immediately; the white foam should sit clearly on top of the dark coffee "stain."
