Coffee Base

Milk Foam

Optional Sweetener

Method

Prepare Espresso

  1. 1

    Brew the Espresso

    Using an espresso machine, brew 2 shots of espresso into a small cup or glass. Ensure the espresso has a rich crema on top for the best flavor.

Froth Milk

  1. 2

    Froth the Milk

    In a separate container, heat 1 cup of whole milk until steaming but not boiling. Use a milk frother or a steam wand to froth the milk until it reaches a creamy, velvety texture with soft peaks.

Combine and Serve

  1. 3

    Assemble the Macchiato

    Pour the frothed milk over the brewed espresso, allowing the foam to sit on top. If desired, add 1 tsp of sugar or vanilla syrup to sweeten the drink.

  2. 4

    Serve

    Serve your macchiato immediately, with a spoon for stirring if sweetener is added. Enjoy your rich, creamy coffee!
