I generally don’t have coffee, while roaming streets of SFO I came across an Italian restaurant, after food I ordered a “mac·chi·a·to” to experiment. It was tiny but dam good.
It’s called “Expresso mac·chi·a·to” in Starbucks. I ask for 2 shots.
You can experiment, it’s basically expresso with a small quantity of frothy milk. I don’t get the taste of just bitter dark water nor just the milk. It’s a fine balance I felt.
