Macchiato is a small and strong coffee beverage that is popular in Australia. It is made by adding a small amount of steamed milk to a shot of espresso. The word 'macchiato' means 'stained' or 'marked' in Italian, referring to the way the milk 'marks' the espresso. The steamed milk adds a touch of creaminess and sweetness to the intense flavor of the espresso. Macchiato is often served in a small ceramic cup and is a favorite choice for those who prefer a concentrated and bold coffee taste.
