Grind fresh coffee beans using a coffee grinder. Take 20 grams of ground coffee and place it in the handle. Attach it to the espresso machine and press the start button to brew espresso.- Use one shot for a lighter macchiato or two shots for a stronger one. Two shots are typically perfect for macchiato.
- Prepare the Cup
Use a tall glass, like a latte glass. Pour some flavored syrup (e.g., caramel) into the bottom of the cup as the first layer. - Add Steamed Milk and Foam
Steam milk to create foam and pour it into the cup, adding the foam on top. At this point, you should see two layers. - Add Espresso Slowly
Slowly pour the espresso near the edge of the cup so the layers build up step by step. This creates the beautiful layered look of the macchiato. - Top with Art
If you like, you can add art on top using a sauce of your choice. Chocolate sauce is my personal favorite for macchiatos.
