coffee+ cream???

or

coffee + milk?

This is a largish macchiato, about 2 oz. of espresso and 2oz. of microfoamed steamed 3.5% milk (like you get in a capp or a latte)

'Foam only' ? And 'Foam Last'? 'Latte Macchiato' is in italian just a plain glass of steamed milk 'marked' on the top of the foam with a stain of coffee to show there's a a little espresso in it (but so little you can hardly see it in the glass). The name 'macchiato' sounds cool, right -and the definition gets more and more fancy.

'Macchiato' in italian means 'marked', and in coffee therminology the reason why this 'name' came to use decades ago in italian caffè's is: customers ordered espresso with just a little milk in (so little, that you couldn't see it). The 'dollop' is there to show there's milk underneath the crema.

You are right, by the way a Latte Macchiato or an Espresso Macchiato?

Espresso Macchiato is just Espresso first than Foam Only.

A Latte Macchiato is Steam Milk + Foam Last top with Espresso Shots on center top.

Way too much milk to be named a 'macchiato'.
