John, caffè "machiato," as you spelled it (properly, "macchiato"), is defined as coffee with a dash of milk; but, as all of us *real* coffee drinkers know, the important thing is that macchiato means spotted or mottled, which is what the milk looks like in the coffee. I never heard of caramel in coffee, but I wouldn't be surprised at anything Americans drink. -- Jerry John wrote: <Snip> homeroast mailing listhttp://lists.sweetmarias.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast |
I have a question to pose to this learned group. Today I had a double shot of espresso with frothed milk in a very small cup. The barista called it a "machiato." What then do you call a Latte that has caramel added? I have been ordering that at another place where they call THAT a Machiato. It doesn't matter as long as I have enough mind left to remember which establishment I'm in when I order. John - the Texas type. Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge while others just gargle. homeroast mailing listhttp://lists.sweetmarias.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast |

Charbucks does make a distincton. drink #1 is called Espresso Macchiato drink #2 is called Carmel Macchiato My guess is they sell alot more of the carmel, so without stating "espresso" you might end up with a carmel-flavored latte. mas homeroast mailing listhttp://lists.sweetmarias.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast |
From the mouth of the of a *$ RMT (who's renting a room in my house): Macchiato: Esspresso marked with a spoonful of steamed milk served in a small (1-2 oz estimate) Italian style cup Caramel Macchiato: Vanilla syrup then steamed milk marked with espresso shot(s) on top then drizzled with real caramel (not syrup) While *$ may not be my favorite, they sure got the utopia vacuum pot right!
