A cappuccino has equal parts espresso, milk, and foam, while a latte macchiato is layered and has a milder flavour.

Let the milk settle for a moment, pour the espresso in slowly and make sure the milk is warmer than the coffee. This way you’ll get beautiful layers.

A tall, heat-resistant glass of 250-300 ml helps to make the layers clearly visible.

Whole milk gives the thickest and creamiest foam. Prefer a plant-based alternative? Oat milk works best due to its good foam structure.

Use cold milk instead of warm and add ice cubes. Then slowly pour in a shot of espresso to maintain the layers.
