@@signor_No non proprio il marocchino si fa solo con la spuma del latte e poi si aggiunge il caffè il macchiato è un caffe con un pochino di latte montato il marocchino presenta molta schiuma e tende al bianco con delle venature date dal caffè l'aggiunta del cacao è un dettaglio per me
@@liviosemprini3156 anche il caffè macchiato si fa con la schiuma del latte infatti nel mio commento lo do per scontato, comunque ci sono varianti come di ogni cosa, il marocchino c'è il cacao senza non è un marocchino
"latte macchiato" vs "espresso macchiato" are the brilliant terms I've been looking for for years to describe the difference to customers. Bless you for this.
How do you not know that as a barista? You should know, that "latte" stands for milk, so if your customer want a more coffee based it's just a macchiato. I personally didn't know that there is a "macchiato" Option, but how did you as barista didn't know how to call it?
I love this. You are so cool for explaining the difference but also for allowing people to like different things. I can’t drink too much caffeine at all for my medical condition so I will often get decaf and it is really annoying to have people yell at me about it. “There’s a time and a place for decaf, never and in the trash” haha yeah you’re so original! Thank you for an informative and wholesome video :)
The decaf stigma is heavy! I’m pregnant and I never realized how much crap people who order decaf get until I had to start asking for decaf, it’s such a shame and there are so many reasons that people want decaf. Literally last week the guy at Dunkin told me I was going to give him an aneurysm 😂 (he was actually nice and gave me a free decaf drink after I told him I had a reason). God speed
I like to drink both regular and decaf! I like to drink coffee for it's flavor but I don't want to be totally wired either I also use decaf to make cold brew sometimes. Since decaf isn't totally caffeine free and cold brewing extracts more caffeine, I end up with cold brew that's on par with regular coffee instead of having a ton of caffeine. Then I can drink more of it because it's tasty 😋
Yup me too....because of my anxiety disorder (it's professionally diagnosed fyi) i can't really take too much caffeine. Well...i can drink normal coffee but it won't be a pleasant experience though 😂
we also call it leche manchada, he used too little coffee so it’s more of a lagrima. the second one is more traditional because coffee stains, the first one is counter intuitive
It's very popular here in Kentucky (USA) as well. Latte macchiato is my favorite espresso beverage. I don't use any syrup however, no drizzle either, just espresso and whole milk. Delicious!!
as a starbucks barista, i was told macchiato would mean "marked with" or "on top", hence you put the expresso shot on top of the milk. I love how one meaning of this word can mean the exact opposite drink depending on which ingredient is the base and which ingredient is poured over the base! Language is truly fascinating!
I always loved when someone would walk in and order a macchiato and you had to find a way to ask "the caramel one or the one that's mostly espresso" without confusing the person who wanted the first one and enraging the person who wanted the second one.
@@haileybalmer9722Tbh, if someone asked if I wanted the caramel one to my request of a macchiato I would be very confused. Then again, where I’m from we just say ‘capo in b’ and they know I want a macchiato with a little bit more milk than usual (similar to a macchiatone) but in a glass espresso cup (rather than traditional espresso cup)
@@vassinarainA machiatto with a little bit of milk is called latte machiatto. Latte means milk. Whereas Espresso machiatto is espresso marked with milk foam.
@@moviearchives9613 You’re speaking to a Triestino (home of Illy). I am talking about how we call things. When we say ‘macchiato’ we mean espresso macchiato, yet no one says ‘espresso macchiato’. Latte macchiato is not a ‘capo in bi’, latte macchiato has significantly more milk than a ‘capo in bi’. A ‘capo in bi’ is served in an espresso glass cup, and is an espresso macchiato with extra foam on the top. Other places in Italy may call it a ‘macchiatone’ although there might be differences.
In the Netherlands, we also have both versions, and distinguish them as 'latte macchiato' (stained milk) and 'macchiato koffie' (stained coffee). As to why we use Italian for one and Dutch for the other... no clue.
This is one of the more wholesome comment sections of his videos, ya know not filled with people calling him a pretentious idiot for enjoying a hobby with expensive stuff.
@@servantofcygnusAny hobby is expensive though. Sewing, drawing, fursuiting, restoring arcade machines, customizing keyboards. ANY hobby is expensive. And either way, just because you personally can't afford it doesn't mean that you get to ruin THEIR hobby.
In Germany, you can get both. A latte macchiato is the one with espresso layered into milk foam, and an espresso macchiato is where you put a dab of milk foam into the espresso.
@@ninjasheeps3690 In Australia and, I believe, Italy (both countries with v strong coffee cultures) I think you'll find its the opposite, no-one means latte macchiato when they say "I'll have a macchiato please".
@@snickeridooo5467its 1/3 hot milk 1/3 espresso and 1/3 frothed milk and a latte macchiato ( where i work atleast) is more miky , same amount of espresso but with less foam on top
european cafes usually have them listed as machiatto and latte machiatto respectively. it's a family tradition of ours to get the latter every time we go to the beach.
Well it's fucking Australia now innit?!! In any coffee city the espresso macchiato is the default for sure even at the other end of the world in Montreal!
Fun fact here in Germany we shorten the name the other way around. In German "der Latte" is short for a latte macchiato. Not to confuse with "die Latte" meaning a wooden bar (or another rod 😉)
Exactly! As an Italian living in south Tyrol, when I studied German, the fact that milk was feminine after hearing "der Latte" (and knowing it's masculine in Italian) blew my mind 😂
Here in Italy we call "caffè macchiato" when its justa shot of espresso with a stain of milk. The other version is called "latte macchiato". I also have to say that here latte just means milk, the american meaning its just a latte macchiato. Love the videos, keep it up!
@@edij100because that’s the way it works with specific food items. You don’t see many European languages that have their own words for rigatoni, spaghetti, penne, etc. Either. It’s just easier to borrow from the source language.
My mom orders an "upside down" macchiato often. It's pretty much espresso poured in first and mixed with the steamed milk. We still argue on it just being a latte with extra steps lol
@@balazs7235They simply do not realize that the caramel macchiato is a Starbucks product. Most people don’t even really know much about latte, espresso, cappuccino, let alone a macchiato. Starbucks acts as a first stop to many people’s coffee journey so it’s best to just educate the ignorant than judge them for it.
that's the most accurate and objective description of coffee i've ever seen. As an italian, I was ready to argue about it, but i can't say anything more. Good job 👌🏼
I liked this video. I’m sure most on your channel will be uppity in support of the traditional macchiato, but this is a fair take. The best coffee is the coffee that you like, in the way you like to drink it.
A nice italian restaurant opened up down the street from my first apartment and I still remember ordering a macchiato off their dessert menu the first time I went. They kindly explained that it may be different from what I expect, and I was very pleasantly surprised. I used to get macchiatos from them for years when I needed to pull all nighters for college.
Finally a coffee video that isn't expensive machinery and pretentious bullshit. He just states a common misconception, some real facts and new information.
Excellent distinction, bravo. I once had a macchiato that was more like a hot chocolate with coffee and milk foam. The barista probably confuse it for a mocha, but even then it wasn't drinkable.
It's honestly just misunderstood by americans. Both the caffe macchiato (or what you call espresso macchiato) and latte macchiato have been served in italy for a long time and one isn't any more traditional than the other. Espresso only became popular in the US very very recently and people just did a poor job labeling their imported drinks.
Thank you Moeazu for always putting the pressure on these boys in the whole video! It was very funny! And thank you Pete for working so hard! Even at the end you were supporting the guest and bringing the energy! I hope you survive.
I am an Italian bartender Never use a spoon to make a macchiato In that case it is a schiumato (less milk more foam) We Italians are really demanding and precise people about coffee. Other than that nice video
The reason for the confusion is just Starbucks 😅 I think most cafe’s will give you the “coffee nerd” version unless you specify that you want a caramel macchiato
The amount of times I have been brought to check out a new café, see they serve macchiato, ask for a caffé macchiatto, and they try to make a latte macchiato is BAFFLING.
The second version isn’t a latte macchiato either… because a normal latte macchiato isn’t made with sugar… you can add it afterwards, but the showed version is just a starbucks sugary drink…
Disagree, the most understood drink is Cup of Coffee, which ranges from Espresso, Expresso, Cap, cappuccino, Late, Lungo, macchiato and all the milk variants.
😂 my fav time from working at the cafés were "The usual" (never met them) the "Cuppa Coffee plz" (a what?) and the "doesn't say anything but holds their card and gives you a look" that last one happened with only one customer but I swear it was everytime
This is so cool!! I love learning things about other peoples hobbies! I dont partularly like coffe but ive always found it super interesting! Thank you for the explanation. And for teaching me something.
I love this guy’s coffee videos. It’s such a shame his comment section is filled with idiots like u who get extremely defensive of their own ignorance.
No you're wrong. It comes from Latte macchiato that means milk spoiled/stained. The base is the milk and not viceversa. What you think is actually the real one is a caffè macchiato but that came after. What you made is a caffe macchiato and a latte macchiato (actually a macchiatone/big spoiled). If you enter a bar and ask for a macchiato they asks you which one or they make the latte. In the middle there's the caffelatte that is 50/50. As I said in Italian wouldn't make sense that the milk "macchia" the coffee cause macchiare means you're ruining it / spoiling it, like coffee stains.
I add a curiosity. The color reffered as "cappuccino" as the dj Khaled meme, it's called caffelatte in Italian due to a perfect 50/50 that you can clearly see in a caffelatte
There are lots of foods and drinks that have the same name. One isn’t necessarily better than the other. Like stracciatella is a soup, cheese and gelato 🥰
it’d probably help if you didn’t comment on the channels you don’t want youtube to recommend; that way the algorithm doesn’t get confused! -oh, and also then nobody else has to interact with a whiny ass self-absorbed little internet bitch that somehow truly believes there’s a single soul on this earth that gives a even a molecular fraction of a shit that he didn’t personally approve of a 30 second video some other guy made about coffee hope this helps :)
Several times here in Inglaterra I asked for a cafe macchiato and was given an espresso. With a little foam, having visited Germany several times and having tried the ka macchiatto and loving it, I just wish I could have one again but there's no chance no one can do it, I loved your explanation❤
I was never able to find this information looking for it when I started drinking coffee and now finding this wonderful illustrated explanation of it! Thank you!!
I love all your videos. Really I do. Because I cannot drink coffee, only teas. Which is okay! I am happy anyway, especially watching your videos can be helpful too. And the confirmation is clear why I love your proper styles: the caramel is on the top of the drink not the cup! This does make a difference and looks elegant to drink. Not a mess that belong in the bin. Well, happy day to you and thanks for the video ♡♡♡
That’s how I learned it in Germany. When I came to England and ordered a Latte Macchiato they never knew what I meant. They either thought I wanted “a Latte” which to them was a Café Latte (made with Coffee not Espresso) or they’d give me an overly sweetened “Macchiato” which I didn’t want. I’d go insane every time they asked if I wanted a Latte bc to me it sounded like “do you want some milk” 😭
This makes me happy that nobody stirs it. When I was serving my six-month sentence at a well-known loved/hated coffee shop, I had people order a carmel macchiato AND THEN STIR IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T LIKE HOW IT TASTED. If you are one of these people: ORDER A CARMEL LATTE. YOU WILL SAVE TWO DOLLARS AND GET THE SAME FLAVOR.
this was actually really cool. I've been a Sbux barista for 10 years, and Iar a lot of crap talking about why a caramel macchiato isn't "real, was ready to he" but this is so cool. Thanks!
This has me missing the cafe where I used to live. It was tucked away but close by train tracks, beautiful bright happy space, and the coffee beans they used for their espresso and pour overs were outstanding! A little gem in a bustling city❤
I like both. Machiatto if you want a poweup for your day and a latte Machiatto if you want to enjoy a nice coffe drink for longer. So tasty both of them!
Love the video! As an Italian, when people refer to very mundane things like an espresso macchiato as "coffee nerd" things is kinda funny to me! Makes me wonder if that's how japanese people felt when the whole "otaku" trend started here :)
