Latte Macchiato
The classic latte macchiato consists of three layers: A bottom
layer of hot milk (2/3), a top layer of foamed milk (1/3) and an
espresso that is poured through the foamed milk. As fatty milk
has a higher density than espresso, the coffee floats on the milk.
The latte macchiato is served in a tall glass with a long spoon.
NOTE
The espresso cup and the glass should be well preheated as
►
preparation takes place in several steps.
Preparation:
Pour the milk into the foaming vessel and foam up roughly one
third of the milk. The rest of the milk is only heated and remains
liquid.
Pour the hot milk and the foamed milk into the glass.
Place the glass onto the hot plate so that the milk stays hot.
Take the espresso cup and prepare the espresso.
Pour the hot espresso down the side of the glass through the
milk foam. The espresso floats on the lower milk layer.
