Starbucks CARAMEL MACCHIATO

Want the iron first hit of an espresso but wrapped in a glove? Then try a Macchiato.

The delicious, multi-layered Macchiato begins with milk steamed until it’s stretched and smooth to bring out its natural sweetness and is topped by a dense, creamy foam. Then rich espresso is poured over and through the foam, where it mixes with the milk and creates a brown mark on top. Finally, the barista signs their work of art with a crosshatch of sweet caramel sauce.

A macchiato is simply a shot of espresso with a small amount of milk or cream, usually foamed. The addition of the milk or cream serves to take away some of the bitterness of the espresso without completely overpowering it.
