Typical volume

Caffeine
65 mg
Caffeine is a reference value for this drink and brew method, not a measurement of your cup.
Espresso Macchiato preparation
- Pull a single espresso (9g in, 18g out) into a 60-90ml cup.
- Steam 50-60ml of milk to a wet, glossy foam at 60-65°C - you only need a spoonful of it.
- Drop 10-15ml of foam into the centre of the crema, leaving a pale mark.
A macchiato is espresso marked with milk, not a milk drink. If more than a fifth of the cup is milk you have made a piccolo.
