Funzionalità Premium
The Latte Macchiato offers a delicate balance of creamy milk and a hint of espresso, providing a layered flavor profile with a visual appeal.
The primary flavor is that of warm, steamed milk, offering a rich and smooth texture. The espresso shot adds a concentrated coffee flavor that cuts through the milk's sweetness, creating a subtle bitterness and aroma. Unlike a latte, the espresso is added last, resulting in a distinct layering effect where the coffee flavor is more pronounced at the beginning.

Layering Technique
Ensure the milk is adequately frothed to create a stable base for the espresso to sit on. Pour the espresso slowly and carefully to maintain the distinct layers.
Milk Temperature
Steam the milk to a temperature between 140-160°F (60-70°C) for optimal sweetness and texture. Overheated milk can scald and lose its natural sweetness.
Espresso Quality
Use a high-quality espresso blend for a richer, more aromatic coffee experience. The quality of the espresso greatly affects the final flavor of the drink.
