It’s not just another morning coffee choice; this is a showdown where tradition meets comfort, understated strength clashes with velvety luxury.

In contrast, the Latte caters to the smoother edges of our palate, its generous milk canvas blending seamlessly with espresso. What’s at stake? Not just a spot on the leaderboard but a declaration of our cultural coffee identity. Are you a purist or a pleaser? Your pick might just answer that.

Fans adore Macchiatos for that punchy espresso flavor that's just slightly softened with a dollop of milk foam. It's the go-to for coffee lovers who enjoy the strong taste of espresso but with a tiny twist.
Latte is slightly ahead in the fan voting! It seems that the creamy and velvety texture combined with its milder espresso hit is winning hearts more than the bold and direct flavors of a Macchiato.
