    A caramel macchiato? What is this madness? Must taste like a boxing match in your mouth.

    E: Oh, I see. Americans have recipes for “macchiato lattes” and flavoured macchiatos seem to have way too much milk to be a macchiato, which is normally a damn powerful espresso. I think if I ordered that here, they’d confirm confused, and my face would implode. But I’ll try later today.

      Europe does it right. My ex wife would order either macchiato and cappuccino so she could keep awake on our trips. She’d order them and also add 2-3 things of sugar. I would just enjoy my cafe or espresso as is, depending on where we were.

      Our last trip we were in Italy for 2 months, she stopped at Conad and found the American section, grabbed a bottle of chocolate syrup so she could make her own monstrosities. While not the reason for the divorce, this was a big problem for her back home. I do not miss the tons of ultra processed foods in my pantry.
