There’s nothing quite like making a Latte Macchiato in your own kitchen. It’s easier than you think! Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you master this beautiful drink. by Chef Hanna
Temps de préparation 3 minutes min
Temps de cuisson 2 minutes min
Temps total 5 minutes min
- 1 shot of espresso about 1.5 oz
- 6 –8 oz of milk whole milk creates the best foam, but oat or almond milk work too!
- A milk frother or steam wand
- A tall glass to showcase the layers!
Steam the Milk: Heat your milk using a frother or steam wand until it’s warm but not boiling. Aim for a silky texture with fine microfoam.
Pour the Milk into the Glass: Slowly pour the steamed milk into a tall glass. Let it sit for a few seconds to separate the liquid milk from the foam.
Prepare the Espresso: Brew a single shot of espresso using an espresso machine or Moka pot.
Pour Espresso Over the Milk: Gently pour the espresso into the center of the glass. The hot coffee will settle between the milk and foam, creating the classic Latte Macchiato layers.
- Use whole milk: It foams better and holds the layers longer.
- Let the milk rest for a few seconds: This helps separate the milk from the foam before adding espresso.
- Pour the espresso slowly: This ensures a defined layer instead of mixing the coffee with the milk.
