How to Make Latte Macchiato 3 Layered Coffee

  1. Heat 1 cup (240ml) of milk in the microwave or in a saucepan over medium-high heat until steaming but not boiling.
  2. While the milk heats, prepare 1-2 shots (60-120ml) of espresso according to your preferred method (espresso machine, Moka pot, or instant espresso). Keep warm.
  3. Once the milk is hot, immediately transfer it to a blender or immersion blender. Blend on high speed for 40 seconds, or until a thick, velvety foam forms.
  4. Fill your heat-safe glasses about 2/3 full with the milk foam.
  5. Slowly pour the hot espresso over the back of a spoon or down the inside of the glass to create the distinct layers. Pouring slowly from the rim will help prevent the layers from mixing.
  6. Allow the drink to sit for about 1 minute to allow the layers to fully separate and settle.
  7. Enjoy your stunning 3-layered Latte Macchiato! Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder or cinnamon, if desired.
