If you are craving a sweet caramel macchiato then ask for a Starbucks caramel macchiato or explain to them that you want the nontraditional macchiato. The term macchiato actually means "marked" or "stained", so it translates to stained coffee.Īt localized coffee shops or any shop that doesn't list the exact differences within macchiatos, here's what to order. The traditional macchiato originated from Italy. However, if you go to a joint like Starbucks, you will have to ask for an espresso macchiato in order to skip the syrups and extra milk. If you go to a smaller, more localized coffee shop you will be able to order a macchiato just by asking for one. It is a simple, more direct drink as compared to the Starbucks version. It is a drink that is weaker than straight espresso, but heavier than a cappuccino.
