How to Make

1. Prepare the espresso. Brew about 40 ml into each small serving cup.

2. Steam the milk. Steam 60 ml cold milk until hot and create a small amount of fine microfoam.

3. Macchiato the espresso. Spoon a small dollop of milk foam over each espresso, keeping the coffee flavour prominent.

4. Finish and serve. Serve immediately while the crema and foam are fresh.

ELLE Home Tip: Keep the milk foam modest—the defining character of a macchiato is the espresso-forward finish.
