About coffee macchiato
Caffè macchiato is an Italian espresso marked with a small amount of milk, its name referring to the visible milk spot. This profile follows Lavazza's traditional version with a freshly brewed espresso and a modest spoonful of whole-milk foam.
Espresso remains the dominant flavour, bringing concentrated roast, bitterness and aroma. The small cap of whole-milk foam softens the edge with gentle sweetness and creaminess without turning the drink milk-forward.
The drink is a small, dark espresso with tawny crema and a distinct white spot of fine foam at its centre. It remains compact and fluid beneath the light, velvety milk mark.
