Recipe for the Perfect Latte Macchiato with the 90ml Pitcher

A Latte Macchiato impresses with its characteristic layers of milk, espresso and milk foam. With the 90ml Latte Macchiato pitcher you can prepare this classic easily.

Step 1: Steam milk properly

• Milk selection: For the best Latte Macchiato you can use different types of milk. Traditional cow's milk provides wonderfully creamy foam, but oat milk or soy milk are also popular alternatives. Our Ben and Michel have published a video in which they test different Barista Oat Milk varieties – a good tip if you're unsure about your choice.

• Amount: You need approximately 120–160 ml milk. Keep in mind that milk increases in volume when steamed, so use a pitcher with a larger volume, about 600 ml, for steaming.

• Temperature: The optimal temperature for milk foam is approximately 63 degrees Celsius. A simple trick: when the pitcher becomes uncomfortable to hold at the bottom, you've reached the right temperature.

Step 2: Prepare espresso

• Coffee selection: For a Latte Macchiato, a strong, full-bodied espresso is recommended, which doesn't overpower the layers. We recommend coffees such as Apas, Dreispitz or Henrique, which are ideal for Latte Macchiato due to their intensity and complex flavors.

• Preparation: Extract the espresso directly into the 90ml pitcher. Make sure the espresso is hotter than the milk foam so that the layers separate clearly from each other. If you find that the espresso is not hot enough, you can give it a boost with a small splash of hot water.

Step 3: Create the layers

• Pour milk into the glass: Carefully pour the steamed milk into a tall glass to create the typical Latte Macchiato layers. Make sure the milk stays at the bottom and the foam floats on top.

• Pour in espresso: Hold a long spoon at the edge of the glass to maintain the layering, and slowly pour the espresso into the glass. This keeps the three layers – the cool milk, the hot espresso and the thick foam – clearly visible.

Final Recommendation: Gently Mix Latte Macchiato Layers for the Best Taste

• While the Latte Macchiato looks most beautiful when the layers are still visible, many cafés, like our Café Frühling, recommend gently mixing the layers to achieve the best taste. This creates a well-rounded and harmonious flavor experience.
