Description
Introduction
The Long Macchiato, or ‘Long Mac’ as it is famously called in Western Australia, is a favorite among coffee lovers who want a strong kick with a touch of cream. At Allure Cafe Perth, we prepare our Long Mac with double-shot espresso, stained with a dollop of white milk foam. It is the perfect drink for those who find a Latte too milky but a double espresso too strong, offering a bold coffee flavor with a smooth finish.
Why You’ll Love It
Why will you love our Long Mac? It is a bold, texturally complex drink that showcases the rich crema of our espresso against the sweetness of steamed milk. The presentation is beautiful, featuring a marbled layer of dark espresso and white foam. It offers an intense coffee hit, softened by a touch of warm milk and microfoam that lingers on the palate.
Ingredients
- Double shot of premium Arabica house blend espresso
- A splash of warm steamed milk
- A dollop of velvety milk microfoam
Preparation
The preparation of our Long Mac starts by extracting a double shot of house espresso into a small pre-heated glass cup. The barista then steams fresh milk to a thick, glossy microfoam. We add a tiny splash of warm milk to the espresso and top it with a dollop of thick milk foam, staining the dark crema and creating a beautiful marbled pattern.
Customisation Options
You can order your Long Mac traditional (just stained with foam) or ‘topped up’ (filled with steamed milk like a strong latte), swap to Oat, Soy, or Almond milk, or request decaf. If you prefer a touch of sweetness, add a drizzle of caramel or vanilla syrup.
Allergy Information
Allergy Information: Contains dairy. Plant-based milks (Oat, Soy, Almond) are available upon request to accommodate dairy allergies.

Barista Tips & Serving Excellence
When drinking a Long Macchiato, the traditional method is to drink it in layered stages rather than stirring the foam into the coffee. This allows you to experience the intense, bold double-shot espresso first, followed by the sweet, creamy milk foam wash that naturally sweetens the bitter notes. If you prefer a milder taste, our ‘topped up’ version provides a longer, smoother finish that is highly popular in Western Australia’s specialty coffee scene.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the Long Mac at Allure Cafe Perth is the ultimate bold, strong coffee choice. It delivers a robust caffeine kick with a touch of creamy sweetness, making it a favorite morning ritual. Stop by our Perth cafe to try it today!
