What This Article Covers:

The Classic Macchiato

The macchiato is a fairly new cup of coffee to the coffee world. Where most popular forms of coffee have been around for at least a hundred years, the macchiato was only invented sometime around the 1960s.

Macchiato is roughly translated, is the italian word for stained. This term is due to to the espresso shot being poured over the steamed milk ‘staining’ it.

The steamed milk provides a slightly sweet undertone in the coffee that cuts through the bitter notes of the strong espresso.

The Cloud Macchiato

A cloud macchiato is a smooth, sweet, and creamy coffee alternative to the regular macchiato.

It’s perfect for coffee drinkers who don’t like the astringency of straight espresso or even those who find the diluted taste of a macchiato too much.

The creamy, smooth texture comes from the warm meringue froth. Meringue froth is made from steamed milk and egg whites, giving it its cloud-like appearance.

Cinnamon and Coffee

You wouldn't think it, but coffee and cinnamon are a match made in heaven.

The cinnamon adds a hint of spice and depth to the macchiato that pairs beautifully with the rich espresso.

Vegan Variants

There are a few vegan options available that are just as delicious as the original.

The cinnamon almond milk macchiato is an amazing option for the growing vegan community

Using steamed almond milk instead of meringue froth results in a lovely nutty taste paired with the spice of the cinnamon.
