☕️Macchiato
• It is an espresso-based coffee drink with a small amount of milk, usually foamed.
• You can order it as a single or a double.
• Fun Fact: In Italian, macchiato means "stained" or "spotted" so the literal translation of caffè macchiato is "stained” or “marked coffee.”

☕️Espresso (not Expresso)
