Description
Introduction
Indulge in the bold, concentrated flavor of our Short Macchiato, or ‘Short Mac’ as it is affectionately known, at Allure Cafe Perth. Perfect for those who prefer a strong espresso flavor with a minimal touch of milk, this traditional drink combines a double shot of our specialty house espresso with a dollop of velvety milk foam. It is designed to deliver a robust hit of caffeine with a rich, creamy finish that lingers on the palate.
Why You’ll Love It
Why you’ll love our Short Mac: It is a beverage of contrasts. The intense, deep notes of dark chocolate and roasted almonds in our espresso are softened by the natural sweetness of microfoam. Served in a pre-warmed glass, it offers a visually appealing layered look, showing the marbling of dark coffee and white foam, providing a satisfying taste from the first sip.
Ingredients
- Double shot of premium house espresso
- A splash of steamed milk
- A dollop of velvety milk microfoam
Preparation
To prepare the perfect Short Mac, our barista extracts a double shot of specialty espresso directly into a small pre-heated glass cup. We then steam cold milk to a dense, glossy microfoam. Using a spoon, the barista gently places a single dollop of foam and a splash of milk on top of the espresso crema, staining it beautifully.
Customisation Options
Customise your Short Mac by swapping to dairy-free milks (Oat, Soy, Almond) or requesting decaf. For a slightly milder taste, ask for a ‘topped up’ short macchiato, which includes a bit more steamed milk while keeping the espresso flavor prominent.
Allergy Information
Allergy Information: Contains dairy. Plant-based milks (Oat, Soy, Almond) are available upon request to accommodate dairy allergies.
