A macchiatto is like an espresso that got hit by a milk truck, just a little bit of steamed milk to make it feel less sad.
My barista called it a 'milk-drenched espresso' and I didn't correct him.
I asked for a macchiatto and got a coffee that looked like it had a meltdown.
I drank a macchiatto and felt like I was being comforted by a milk-soaked espresso.
