Latte macchiato

A good latte macchiato has three layers: milk at the bottom, coffee in the middle, foam on top. It isn't three steps – it's one button, as long as the milk is cold and the glass is the right shape.
What you need
- A JURA machine with a milk system
- A tall, clear glass – the JURA Latte Macchiato glass, 220 ml
- Fresh cold milk, ideally 3.5%
- A JURA glass milk container or a Cool Control
How to make it
- Check the milk is around 4 °C. Warmer than that and the foam won't hold.
- Put the glass under the milk spout and adjust the spout height so it sits close to the glass.
- Select Latte Macchiato.
- Let the glass stand for 30 seconds before stirring – that's when the layers separate.
Tips
- Cold milk gives the best foam. A Cool Control holds it at 4 °C all day.
- Plant-based drinks work too – barista oat foams best.
- For a stronger middle layer, use Extra Shot if your machine has it.
