This is a true and simple classic that often needs clearing up since many drinks have been called by this name. The word "macchiato" actually means marked, and it is a traditional Italian beverage that you can easily make for your enjoyment on your home espresso machine. 

ingredients: 

Freshly ground espresso
Cold milk 

This may seem incredibly easy, but it deserves to be clarified what exactly is the proper way to make this drink. Begin by brewing one shot of fresh espresso in your espresso machine. Then steam your milk to 160°, and hold the steam wand just below the surface to create foam. You can then spoon your fresh foam onto your espresso to enjoy your delicious Espresso Macchiato- a real Italian treat! 

serves: 2 

ingredients: 

1 1/2 cups strong hot brewed coffee
3 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons chocolate syrup, such as Hershey’s
1 cup ice cold milk
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
Handful or so crushed ice
Lightly sweetened whipped cream, for garnish
1 small piece semisweet or bittersweet chocolate, for garnish 

1. Combine the hot coffee and brown sugar in a large measuring cup and stir until the brown sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate syrup. Transfer to a shallow bowl. Cool briefly at room temperature, then chill until ice cold. You can accelerate this step by putting it in the freezer, but just make sure it doesn’t start to ice. 

2. Combine the chilled coffee, milk, and vanilla in a small pitcher; stir to blend. Divide the coffee between 2 serving glasses, adding a small handful of crushed ice to each. Top each glass with whipped cream then grate a little chocolate over each one. Serve with straws. 

ingredients: 

1 Make a shot of espresso equaling between 1 and 1 1/2 oz. 

2 Steam 10 oz. milk. 

3 Point your steam wand towards the bottom of your stainless steel pitcher to steam your milk. To create froth, raise the tip just below the surface of the pitcher. 

4 Pour hot milk in a 12-oz. glass until 3/4 full. 

5 Pour the espresso shot into the steamed milk. 

6 Dust with ground chocolate, cinnamon or nutmeg.
