The prettiest espresso/milk hybrid yet.
You may have heard that Starbucks has added a new "core beverage" to their menu -- the Latte Macchiato.
You may be wondering how exactly this is different than their last reveal, the Flat White, and for you, Starbucks created this handy interactive image:
And here's its place on the Espresso family lineup, for some context:
It's made by pouring the espresso shots into the steamed milk creating a deliciously caffeinated ombre effect.
In contrast, a cappuccino is made by pouring steamed milk over espresso and a macchiato tops espresso with just a dollop of steamed milk.
While some are unimpressed with the drink...
Others give it high praise
And one fan even wrote analytic poetry for it
The drink is crafted to "draw out an intensely bold and roasty flavor that highlights the Starbucks espresso in the beverage." And it seems that the Internet agrees.
Try it for yourself, and get ready for many an Instagram of the distinctive new beverage.
