Coffee is one of the most consumed drinks globally, and social networks show this. Every week, platforms like TikTok publish videos related to coffee: recipes, tips or details to take into account, among others.
One account focused on this popular drink is @templocafesoficial, which often shares creative and entertaining videos about coffee. This week, they teach us how to distinguish the original macchiato from the popularized version.
“The macchiato is one of the most misunderstood drinks,” says the Templo Cafés account. The barista has shed light on this type of coffee, making it clear that the real macchiato is dark and small, while the version known to most is larger and consists primarily of milk.
To serve a real macchiato, the first thing is to prepare an espresso, since the original version is made up of an espresso and a tablespoon of emulsified milk, so its flavor is quite intense. This drink is known as espresso macchiato.
On the other hand, the most popular version of this coffee is what is known as latte macchiato. It is created by mixing a large amount of milk with an espresso, so its flavor is much smoother.
