hi mate. i have never tried putting sugar in the milk and then frothing it, but it sounds like a bad idea for a number of reasons.
• the milk would be unusable for subsequent coffees: you would not be able to do milk for a latte with 2 sugars and a cap with none, as sugar would be in all the milk
• the sugar may not completely dissolve, or worse may begin to caramelise under the pressure and heat of steaming
I think my first post was probably worded wrong when I said 'A Long Black with foam on top'...but it is essentially a long black, with a very small amount of foamy milk...Of course this is poured in after the shots, and stains the top of the long black...
This is the whole reason Latte's are used for Latte art (theyre the best), and hence the name has always been 'Latte Art'...
Actually, Macchiato literally means stained, spotted or marked...Nothing to do with milk, just generally in coffee terms, it is done with milk...However in a latte macchiato, the milk is marked with the coffee...
A Long Macchiato, is to a Long black what an Espresso Macchiato is to an Espresso...You mark the long black with milk, as you mark the espresso shot with milk.
so you think just a few speckles or marks on top? Hmm i may well be wrong. LOL I agree the one in this video has way too much milk.. but i still think its good to see some layering in the glass.
"Macchiato" literally means "stained with milk" and that is why the layers are so important. If you put a bit of 'foam' on top of a long black it will not layer, or stain the actual espresso shots.
A long macchiato is NOT a long black with foam. A long mac is about 15mL of boiling water and then a double shot of espresso in a glass (some places use a cup, granted, but a glass is BEST to show the layering) and then you free-pour a small amount of very creamy milk onto the top of the crema on the double espresso shot, with the milk then "raining" down and layering within the glass to form an inversion layer.
yeah i never seen this before it awesome [reply]

Just rewatched, and you did have quite a lot of coffee in the glass, but it's still a long way from a long macchiato. Much too much milk.

A 'Long Macchiato'is a Long Black with foam on top...really nice Lattes art tho...but these are Lattes, hence 'Latte Art'.
Starbucks cause confusion with the use of Macchiato, in Caramel Macchiato, which is essenitall a Vanilla Latte Macchiato, with caramel on top...
