“The original Spanish beverage combines cinnamon and lemon zest, with a frothy texture which inspired us to reinvent the beverage as a macchiato,” said Erin Marinan, from Starbucks research and development team. To create the Cloud Macchiato, Starbucks in-house product development team created a special recipe for cloud powder, using egg whites as a key ingredient to create a layer of fluffy cloud foam. The newest addition to the Starbucks Menu draws inspiration from the leche merengada, or “meringue milk,” a summer drink from the cafés of Barcelona, Spain that dates back centuries. Available in two flavors, Caramel and Cinnamon, Starbucks Cloud Macchiato beverages feature whipped cold milk foam that has a light, fluffy and silky-smooth texture. Starting today (March 5), Starbucks stores in the United States and Canada are offering a delightful new take on a classic beverage with the introduction of Cloud Macchiato. Others would follow, like the nutty, sweet Coconutmilk Mocha Macchiato, and horchata-inspired Cinnamon Almondmilk Macchiato. This time it was marked not once, but twice: first with espresso, then with caramel sauce in its signature crosshatch, double-circle design.

And the Latte Macchiato was its opposite, a beverage that began with steamed whole milk with espresso shots poured slowly on top.Ī decade later, Caramel Macchiato made its debut. The Espresso Macchiato was hot espresso marked with a dollop of creamy foam – with one shot for a solo, two shots for a doppio. A traditional Italian beverage whose name means “marked,” it came in just two varieties. The macchiato was among the first beverages on the menu when Starbucks first began serving beverages in its cafés in the late 1980s. Starbucks Cloud Macchiato is a dreamy addition to the Starbucks menu, with luxurious layers of flavor with every sip.
