My Thursday Macchiato, courtesy pf Astro Coffee •y^K^x'-r^^T^s^-^r ' ' -.. && love to brew my own coffee at home, if you have read any of my previ I ous columns—you know this by now. However, brewing espresso at home is problematic in that it requires expen sive equipment— so there is one day a week when I go out and treat myself. I call it Macchiato Thurs day. Just a couple hours ago I had one of the best ever at Astro Coffee located in Detroit. A macchiato is two shots of espresso served in a small, 2-3 ounce cup with just an ounce or so Coffee Preacher of silky smooth steamed Dan Dean milk. When crafted like it was this morning, it is a flavor sensation. It is sweet, creamy and intense. A true macchiato is a coffee drink that separates the pretenders from the pros. If you want to know if your neigh borhood shop should be on your "A" list for quality and commitment, ordering a macchiato is the best way to find out. Finding a place that can prepare this illusive delight, does take some work. But once you have found that place — know you have found a true gem. The word espresso, a macchiato's main ingredient, conjured up many dif j ferent images and responses from a ' v macho-like grunt of toughness to a sour- face grimace when I offered a compli mentary taste to customers. Those that took me up on the offer were almost always pleasantly surprised by the natu ral sweetness. I have visited many shops over the years and even when I have vetted the shop for all the telltale signs that'a great macchiato may be had, few produce what I consider a great drink.-The good - news is. that the list in metro Detroit is growing and the search is well worth the effort. • f » Ask questions To begin your quest for the illusive, ' but well-worth it search for a great mac chiato, start at your favorite neigh borhood coffee shop. Leave the smart phone holstered while standing in line and take notice of what goes on behind the counter. My best advice is to talk to the baris- ta. Ask about the shop's macchiato and please know that a macchiato does not involve the use of caramel at any point during its preparation. A well-trained barista will more than likely be excit \ ed about an inquiry. It was always my favorite drink to make as it was received with great appreciation from customers. If the person behind the. counter responds with a puzzled look, or lets on that she has never tasted a mac chiato or that she does not like espresso _ '?
