Recipe for the perfect Latte Macchiato with the 90ml pitcher

A Latte Macchiato impresses with its characteristic layers of milk, espresso, and milk foam. With the 90ml Latte Macchiato pitcher, preparing this classic is very easy.

Step 1: Properly froth milk

• Milk selection: You can use various types of milk for the best Latte Macchiato. Traditional cow's milk produces wonderfully creamy foam, but oat milk or soy milk are also popular alternatives. Our Ben and Michel have published a video where they test different barista oat milk brands – a good tip if you're unsure about your choice.
• Quantity: You will need about 120–160 ml of milk. Remember that milk increases in volume when frothed, so use a pitcher with a larger volume, about 600 ml, for frothing.
• Temperature: The optimal temperature for milk foam is around 63 degrees Celsius. A simple trick: if the bottom of the pitcher is no longer comfortable to hold, you've reached the right temperature.

Step 2: Prepare espresso

• Coffee selection: For a Latte Macchiato, a strong, full-bodied espresso that doesn't overpower the layers is recommended. We recommend coffees like Apas, Dreispitz or Henrique, which are ideal for Latte Macchiato due to their intensity and complex aromas.
• Preparation: Extract the espresso directly into the 90ml pitcher. Make sure the espresso is hotter than the milk foam, so that the layers clearly separate. If you find that the espresso is not hot enough, you can give it a little boost with a small splash of hot water.

Step 3: Create the layers

• Pour milk into the glass: Carefully pour the frothed milk into a tall glass to create the typical Latte Macchiato layers. Make sure the milk stays at the bottom and the foam floats on top.
• Pour in espresso: Hold a long spoon against the rim of the glass to preserve the layering, and slowly pour the espresso into the glass. This will keep the three layers – the cool milk, the hot espresso, and the thick foam – clearly visible.

Final Recommendation: Lightly mix Latte Macchiato layers for the best taste

• While the Latte Macchiato is most visually appealing when the layers are still visible, many cafes, like our Café Frühling, recommend lightly mixing the layers to achieve the best taste. This ensures a well-rounded and harmonious flavor experience.
