I tend to get macchiatto's iced because they are so pretty in a clear cup. When I want a cold coffee (mall shopping during the summer) this is my preferred drink. the frappicino's feel too much like milkshakes. But the truth is I like how pretty they look. yep, I know I sound shallow...pretty drinks and mall shopping. LOL Yum!

LOL! Sorry for the layer mix up..I always have whipped cream on my macchiatos AND my lattes so they taste somewhat the same. But thanks for the correction. :) Oh Tiffany..whatever. LOL!

But I gotta say sumthin. My FAVORITE drink is a Caramel Macchiato, and when I was a barista I spent so much time explaining the difference between a macchiato and a latte...so let me type this and then I can relax :-) Macchiato means "marked". A caramel macchiato traditionally has no whipped cream, but foam. The order would be...vanilla syrup, steamed milk, frothed milk, THEN espresso (hence, marking the foam with the espresso). The caramel is drizzled on top. In this way, you really taste the espresso. If you don't like frou-frou you can order just an espresso macchiato, which would be just foam and espresso, with the espresso poured on top. A latte on the other hand, has the espresso on the bottom, with the steamed milk on top. And often is topped with whipped cream. This way you taste more of the sweet syrups and the milk, and less espresso. So basically the distinction is where you put the espresso, but taste-wise it's a HUGE difference. And now I'm craving a macchiato something FIERCE!!!! Marye, I love ya. But I gotta say sumthin.
