DRINK ATLAS / MILK COFFEE

Latte macchiato

Milk is the starting point, with espresso poured into it. Visible layers depend on pouring and settling and soon mix as you drink.

Make it at home.

  1. Put warm, textured milk into a heat-safe glass, leaving space for the coffee.
  2. Prepare an espresso separately.
  3. Pour the espresso gently into the milk. Stir if you prefer a consistent flavor from the first sip.

Follow your equipment instructions. Hot liquid and steam require care. Milk alternatives can change the texture.
