How to make a Latte Macchiato?

The latte macchiato is known for its beautiful layers. It is, just like a latte, a combination of the right division between milk and espresso. A latte macchiato shows three perfect layers: milk, espresso and milk foam. But how do you make a latte at home?

What is a latte machiato?

A latte macchiato is a popular coffee drink known for its distinct, layered appearance. Unlike a traditional latte, where the espresso is blended directly with steamed milk, a latte macchiato is made by layering milk, then adding espresso, and finally topping it with a foam crown. This creates three beautiful layers: the milk at the bottom, followed by the espresso in the middle, and a frothy milk foam on top. The result is a visually striking drink with a balanced, slightly stronger coffee flavour that’s perfect for those who enjoy a coffee with a touch of elegance and texture.

What is the difference between a latte macchiato and a latte?

The key difference between a latte and a latte macchiato lies in the way they’re prepared and served. In a latte, espresso is poured first, and steamed milk is added on top, followed by a thin layer of foam. In contrast, a latte macchiato starts with the milk, and then the espresso is gently poured over the milk to create those beautiful layers. Both drinks are delicious, but the latte macchiato offers a more visual and textural contrast, with the layers being a distinctive feature.

So, how do you make a latte at home? TASSIMO has designed an easy way to make a latte macchiato. You will need a tall glass, your TASSIMO machine and TASSIMO Latte coffee pods. Find the instruction for your perfect Latte Macchiato below!
