Are you a real coffee lover, and are you wondering what the difference is between a caffè macchiato and a latte macchiato? You're not the only one! These two coffee drinks may sound similar, but they differ quite a bit in flavour, preparation and presentation. Will you go for a powerful espresso with a hint of milk or a creamy milk base with a hint of coffee? In this article we dive deeper into the world of the macchiato and help you make the right choice.
