on 6/21/2008 Sorry about that multiple post. It was my first post and I didn't see it showing up so I kept posting, but I can't figure out how to delete comments.

on 6/21/2008 Actually a macchiato has espresso and a dollop of foam or foam/milk mixture on top. Macchiato means marked, and the only reason people think it should be marked with espresso instead of milk is because of Starbucks's caramel macchiato. It's traditionally done in a two oz cup with 1 oz of espresso and 1oz of foam or foam/milk.
