Steamed milk and espresso: these are the two base ingredients for both the macchiato and the latte (and plenty of other popular coffees). However, the ratio of these ingredients and the methods used to add them vary greatly.

Regardless, if you are looking to make any of these espresso-based drinks at home, you will probably need an espresso machine with a steaming wand. That means they might not be the most practical at-home options. That is unless you already have an extensive coffee toolkit or a considerable budget.

Macchiato means “marked” or “stained” in Italian. In coffee culture, it means slightly diluting either espresso or steamed milk with the other.

The first thing you need to know about macchiatos is that there are two different kinds: the espresso macchiato and the latte macchiato.

An espresso macchiato will have a shot or two of espresso and a splash of steamed milk and foam on top. Latte macchiatos are made by slowly pouring about one shot of espresso into a cup that is already 1/3-1/2 full of steamed milk.

An important part of a latte is the incorporation of the steamed milk. A latte usually includes 5-6 oz of milk, which is added to 1-2 shots of espresso.

The main thing here is that the milk is incorporated or mixed, meaning that (for the most part) your latte will taste the same from top to bottom. We’ll get more into how exactly that consistency is accomplished later.
