What''s the difference between a machiatto and a latte?!
Answers: i ordered a caramel latte at starbucks but when the barista gave it to me she called it a caramel machiatto.. is that the same thing?
un cafe macchiato is a short espresso with a bit of frothy milk.(coffee with milk)
latte- frothy milk with espresso (milk with coffee)
so if you had a caramel latte, what your getting is caramel flavoured frothy milk. a latte can't be macchiato because it's already milk... get it??
macchiato means stained in italian... milk stained coffee!! ha ha
i think she just made an error
real world:
macchiato is espresso with a dollop of milk foam on top
latte is espresso with lots of steamed milk and a little foam on top (you can add any flavor if you want)
Starbucks:
caramel macchiato is a vanilla latte with caramel sauce on top
I don't make the rules. This is the way it is.
