Steam the Milk
In a steam pitcher, pour 1 cup of whole milk. Use the steam wand to froth and heat the milk until it's creamy and has a velvety foam on top. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
Assemble the Macchiato

Combine Espresso and Milk
Gently pour a small amount of the frothed milk over the espresso shots, allowing the foam to sit atop the espresso. The traditional macchiato should have just a dollop of foam.
