History of Caramel Macchiato

This drink was introduced to the world for the first time in Italy. In 1930, this drink was known as “Caffè Macchiato”, which means “Stained Coffee”. The reason for this name is that in the preparation of this drink, a small amount of milk is used in the form of foam, which is poured over the espresso coffee. This foam appears like a stain on the coffee and that is why it is called “Stained Coffee”. Over time, caramel has been introduced as one of the most important ingredients of this drink. Today, the Caramel Macchiato is one of the most popular caffeinated beverages around the world. Stay with us as we tell you everything you need to make an exciting Caramel Macchiato.

Difference Between Caramel Macchiato and Mocha

Although both Caramel Macchiato and Mocha are coffee-based drinks, they have major differences.

In Terms of Using the Milk:

The first difference between these two drinks is the method of using milk in them. Both these drinks contain milk. But they are different from each other in the way of using milk to prepare them. In Caramel Macchiato, the least amount of milk is used, and it has only a small amount of foam. While in the Mocha, thick and creamy milk is used to strengthen the strong taste of chocolate and coffee.

In Terms of Taste:

According to Taste:

Mocha has the least amount of sweeteners; Therefore, it is more suitable for those who like to drink strong and bitter coffee. It also has its fans as it contains chocolate. Instead, the Caramel Macchiato suits those looking for a sweet and creamy drink.
