Recipe for making a perfect Latte Macchiato
A latte macchiato impresses with its beautiful layers of milk, espresso and milk foam. Here you can find out step by step how to prepare it:
1. Froth the milk
- Amount of milk : Froth 120-160 ml of milk in a 600 ml milk jug. The milk increases in volume when frothed.
- Milk selection : Whether cow's milk or milk alternatives such as oat, soy or rice milk - the choice is entirely yours. By the way: Our baristas Ben and Michel have published a video in which they tested various Barista oat milk varieties . Take a look if you are unsure about choosing the right alternative.
- Temperature : The target temperature for foaming is approximately 63 degrees.
Tip : How do you know that the milk is at the right temperature? We're being pragmatic here: as soon as the bottom of the jug is no longer comfortable to touch, you've reached the right temperature.
2. Pour milk into the glass
Pour the frothed milk into a tall glass. This will allow the different layers to settle better when pouring later. To avoid destroying the layering, place a long-handled spoon in the glass now.
3. Prepare espresso
Extracts the espresso directly into the small 90ml jug.
Important: Always froth the milk first and then prepare the espresso. The espresso should be hotter than the milk foam so that the layers separate clearly later.
Tip : If the espresso is not hot enough, a small sip of hot water from the teapot of the espresso machine will help to bring it to the necessary temperature.
4. Pour espresso into the milk foam
Now carefully pour the espresso from the small jug into the frothed milk. Make sure to pour slowly to preserve the layers:
- A colder layer of milk remains at the bottom,
- the hot espresso is placed on top,
- and finally a thicker layer of foam forms on top.
5. The best taste
Even though the Latte Macchiato looks very nice in layers, it tastes best when the layers are slightly mixed. In our cafés in Basel - like Café Frühling or at the SBB train station - we therefore serve the Latte Macchiato mixed for the best taste.
Which coffee is suitable?
For Latte Macchiato we recommend strong, tasty coffees such as our varieties Apas, Dreispitz or Henrique . Due to the large amount of milk, these coffees require a special intensity in order not to be overpowered.
-
Apas : Tastes like milk chocolate in a latte macchiato.
-
Dreispitz: A combination of chocolate notes and fine acidity.
