Macchiato · mahk-ee-AH-toh

In Italian, macchiato means "marked" or "stained." A traditional espresso macchiato is a single or double shot finished with a small spoon of milk foam, served in an espresso cup. It is one of the most espresso-forward milk drinks on the menu. The American chain-coffee "caramel macchiato" is a different drink entirely (a flavored latte with caramel) and is not what a Brooklyn specialty bar will serve when you order a macchiato.
