Introduction
A Macchiato at Zizzi is a simple yet bold Italian-style coffee that focuses on pure espresso flavor with just a touch of milk. The name “macchiato” means “stained” or “marked,” referring to the small amount of milk added to a rich espresso shot.
Flavor-wise, it’s strong, slightly bitter, and aromatic, with a soft creamy note from the milk foam. Unlike lattes or cappuccinos, this drink is designed for those who enjoy a more intense coffee experience without too much dilution.
It’s loved at Zizzi because it’s quick, authentic, and perfect after a meal — especially if you want a light, low-calorie coffee that still delivers full flavor.
