Recipe for the perfect latte macchiato using the 90ml pitcher

A latte macchiato stands out for its characteristic layers of milk, espresso, and milk foam. With the 90ml latte macchiato pitcher, making this classic is a breeze.

Step 1: Frothing the milk correctly

• Milk selection: You can use different types of milk for the best latte macchiato. Traditional cow's milk produces wonderfully creamy foam, but oat or soy milk are also popular alternatives. Our Ben and Michel have released a video testing various barista oat milk varieties – a good tip if you are unsure which one to choose.

• Quantity: You will need about 120–160 ml of milk. Remember that milk increases in volume when frothed, so use a pitcher with a larger volume, like a 600ml one, for frothing.

• Temperature: The ideal temperature for milk foam is around 63 degrees Celsius. A simple trick: if the pitcher is no longer comfortable to hold at the bottom, you have reached the right temperature.

Step 2: Preparing the espresso

• Coffee selection: For a latte macchiato, we recommend a strong, full-bodied espresso that doesn't overpower the layers. We suggest coffees like Apas, Dreispitz, or Henrique, which are ideal for latte macchiato due to their intensity and complex aromas.

• Preparation: Extract the espresso directly into the 90ml pitcher. Ensure the espresso is hotter than the milk foam so that the layers separate clearly. If you find the espresso isn't hot enough, you can give it a boost with a small splash of hot water.

Step 3: Creating the layers

• Pouring the milk into the glass: Carefully pour the frothed milk into a tall glass to create the typical latte macchiato layers. Ensure the milk stays at the bottom and the foam floats on top.

• Adding the espresso: Hold a long spoon against the edge of the glass to maintain the layering and slowly pour the espresso into the glass. This will keep the three layers—the cool milk, the hot espresso, and the thick foam—clearly visible.

Final recommendation: Gently stir the latte macchiato layers for the best taste

• While a latte macchiato looks best when the layers are still visible, many cafés, such as our Café Frühling, recommend gently stirring the layers to achieve the best taste. This ensures a rounded and harmonious flavor experience.
