description Lungo Macchiato Overview
Lungo macchiato is an espresso-based drink made by adding a small amount of milk, usually milk foam, to a lungo. A lungo is a longer-pulled espresso in which more water passes through the coffee grounds than in a standard espresso, producing a larger drink with a different balance of bitterness and extraction. The word macchiato means "marked" or "stained," referring to the small visible addition of milk rather than a large milk component. The drink therefore combines a long coffee with a modest amount of dairy.
