      How do you not know that as a barista? You should know, that "latte" stands for milk, so if your customer want a more coffee based it's just a macchiato. I personally didn't know that there is a "macchiato" Option, but how did you as barista didn't know how to call it?

      The decaf stigma is heavy! I’m pregnant and I never realized how much crap people who order decaf get until I had to start asking for decaf, it’s such a shame and there are so many reasons that people want decaf. Literally last week the guy at Dunkin told me I was going to give him an aneurysm 😂 (he was actually nice and gave me a free decaf drink after I told him I had a reason). God speed

      I like to drink both regular and decaf! I like to drink coffee for it's flavor but I don't want to be totally wired either
      I also use decaf to make cold brew sometimes. Since decaf isn't totally caffeine free and cold brewing extracts more caffeine, I end up with cold brew that's on par with regular coffee instead of having a ton of caffeine. Then I can drink more of it because it's tasty 😋

    as a starbucks barista, i was told macchiato would mean "marked with" or "on top", hence you put the expresso shot on top of the milk. I love how one meaning of this word can mean the exact opposite drink depending on which ingredient is the base and which ingredient is poured over the base! Language is truly fascinating!

      @@moviearchives9613 You’re speaking to a Triestino (home of Illy). I am talking about how we call things. When we say ‘macchiato’ we mean espresso macchiato, yet no one says ‘espresso macchiato’. Latte macchiato is not a ‘capo in bi’, latte macchiato has significantly more milk than a ‘capo in bi’. A ‘capo in bi’ is served in an espresso glass cup, and is an espresso macchiato with extra foam on the top. Other places in Italy may call it a ‘macchiatone’ although there might be differences.

    Never use a spoon to make a macchiato
    In that case it is a schiumato (less milk more foam)
    We Italians are really demanding and precise people about coffee.

    It's honestly just misunderstood by americans. Both the caffe macchiato (or what you call espresso macchiato) and latte macchiato have been served in italy for a long time and one isn't any more traditional than the other. Espresso only became popular in the US very very recently and people just did a poor job labeling their imported drinks.

    No you're wrong. It comes from Latte macchiato that means milk spoiled/stained. The base is the milk and not viceversa. What you think is actually the real one is a caffè macchiato but that came after. What you made is a caffe macchiato and a latte macchiato (actually a macchiatone/big spoiled). If you enter a bar and ask for a macchiato they asks you which one or they make the latte. In the middle there's the caffelatte that is 50/50. As I said in Italian wouldn't make sense that the milk "macchia" the coffee cause macchiare means you're ruining it / spoiling it, like coffee stains.

      I add a curiosity. The color reffered as "cappuccino" as the dj Khaled meme, it's called caffelatte in Italian due to a perfect 50/50 that you can clearly see in a caffelatte

    That’s how I learned it in Germany. When I came to England and ordered a Latte Macchiato they never knew what I meant. They either thought I wanted “a Latte” which to them was a Café Latte (made with Coffee not Espresso) or they’d give me an overly sweetened “Macchiato” which I didn’t want. I’d go insane every time they asked if I wanted a Latte bc to me it sounded like “do you want some milk” 😭
