What Is Espresso Macchiato?

What is it? I like to call it a mini cappuccino. A shot of espresso with foamy steamed  milk. You can have macchiato caldo with warm foamy steamed milk or macchiato freddo with cold milk. The little dollop of milk gives it sweetness. Now that you are in the Italian cafe called il bar in Italian you can be confident with your order. I've written more about all the other coffee you can order when in Rome! Drink coffee like an Italian. A link to the "how to" guide.
