    Yeah, it’s weird but hear me out. What they’re referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you’re familiar with. The word macchiato translates as “marked”. So an espresso machiatto is a marked (with milk) espresso, and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you’ve only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don’t even know what an espresso macchiato is.
