One of our favorite coffee shops had a sign explaining what a macchiato was and an addendum that if you wanted a drink like you got from Starbucks to order a latte.
I worked in a REAL coffee shop where we had to manually pull espressos, manually foam our milk, and manage the water level in the machine. We were trained that a macchiato had a spoonful of foam, cappuccinos were equal amounts of espresso, milk, and foam, and that lattes were half espresso, half milk with a spoonful of foam.
One of the things I REALLY hate about Starbucks (besides their truly horrible coffee) is there appropriation of drink names.
As I was reading this I was drinking an espresso made from beans from the oldest cafe/espresso bean roasting company in Naples Italy. My general feeling is that Starbucks caters to average American tastes, which includes lots of milk and or cream in coffee drinks, along with flavorings and sometimes sugar or other sweeteners. When I’ve bought cappuccino from Starbucks it generally has way too much milk and is more like a latte. I agree entirely with your assessment.
Other than being $15 each? I don’t think so. I do believe that Starbucks plays a major role in 20-30 year olds having immense debt. Going everyday for something that takes 5 minutes to gulp down is hazardous to your finances
Starbucks created the 500 Calorie Caramel Macchiato to disguise the awful roast of their beans
We need to ask Macchiato Man that question…… 😂
both are uniquely bad.
This thread belongs to the front pages of every news media of the world: forget wars, hunger, even global warming crap, just concentrate on those important differences.
The baristas at Starbucks always add the caramel to soon and it sinks to the bottom of the cup. I always use a straw.
Starbucks..where idiots pay more for shitty coffee.
Doubt you did anything politely in your whole life Windy dear.
Make it at home and quit with the whining you boring broad.
Who cares?
