* [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latte_macchiato The Wikipedia article on latte macchiato] claims that, "it differs significantly from cafè latte in that only ½ (or less) of an espresso shot is being used." It also agrees with the article stating, "the macchia is the little 'spot' of crèma being left on top of the milk to clearly distinguish that is a latte macchiato and not a caffè latte, where the espresso traditionally has been added before the milk, hence having no 'mark.'" | * [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latte_macchiato The Wikipedia article on latte macchiato] claims that, "it differs significantly from cafè latte in that only ½ (or less) of an espresso shot is being used."
