<p>I'm 4 years late to this party, but hey...</p>
<p>I'm very new to this industry and am at a shop somewhere between a small local shop and a chain in the USA. We are in a city with plenty of good shops, but in a suburb without much beside Starbucks and Caribou, so we try to have a menu that makes sense to both those who want pour-overs and those who want a frappuccino. We have mixed results. These are the definitions/procedures we use:</p>

We have mixed results. These are the definitions/procedures we use:</p>
<p>When someone asks for just a "macchiato" we will ask if they want a latte macchiato or an espresso macchitao, specifying the makeup of each if needed. If they get confused, we ask if they want a caramel macchiato, which they usually do.</p>
<p>Here's how we make each of the three <em>macchiati</em> (and this is just how I've been told to do it, not saying this is the <em>correct</em> way to make the drink. We try to match what most people in the area will be asking for with that name. We default to 2% milk because. . . <em>reasons.</em>):</p>
<ul>
<li>espresso macchiato: X shots of espresso with just enough foam to spot the shot, probably hard, floating on top</li>
<li>latte macchiato: X shots of espresso poured over steamed milk/foam of unspecified ratios (we have yet to have anyone order this.</li>
<li>caramel latte macchiato: vanilla latte with the shots poured over the top of the foam with caramel drizzle and a few rings of caramel around the edge</li>

<p>I have also seen a method of a dollop of foam first with the espresso poured into the foam to "mark" the foam. But yes, this is the traditional macchiato. Starbucks does a vanilla latte "marked" with caramel. </p>

More of the same: "Italian beef" is a Chicago sandwich, unknown in Italy. There's no chop-suey in The Middle Kingdom. US sandwich shops peddle "Paninis". In Italy PANINI is a plural form. The singular is UN PANINO". It's a roll -- 'little bread, little loaf of bread --PANE" cut in 2 lengthwise and filled with prosciutto (air-dried ham), cheese, or both. NOT toasted. And then there's TOAST. In Italy 2 syllables, please -- TOST-E... It equals a US toasted cheese sandwich. And they have a purpose-built toaster. Our toast is called 'toasted bread --Pane tostato. And PIZZA was unknown in central and northern Italy until the 1960s. (I ws there when it arrived in the Veneto) You could get it only in southern Italy, France, and that big Italian colony, the USA</p>
