The Latte Macchiato presents a layered flavor profile, starting with the creamy sweetness of the milk, followed by a burst of rich espresso, and finishing with a subtle lingering coffee aftertaste.
The primary flavor is the sweet, smooth taste of steamed milk, often complemented by a light foamy texture. The espresso shot adds a bold, concentrated coffee flavor that cuts through the milk's sweetness, creating a contrasting and appealing taste. The quality of both the milk and the espresso significantly impacts the final flavor profile. Some variations may include flavored syrups for added sweetness and complexity.

Layering Technique
Pour the steamed milk into the glass first, allowing it to settle. Then, gently pour the espresso shot over the milk, aiming for the center. This creates the characteristic 'marked' or 'stained' effect, with the espresso floating on top.
Milk Temperature
Ensure the milk is properly steamed and heated to around 140-160°F (60-70°C) for optimal sweetness and texture. Overheating the milk can scorch it and alter the flavor.
Espresso Quality
Use a high-quality espresso roast and a well-pulled shot for the best flavor. The espresso should be fresh and aromatic to complement the milk's sweetness.
