Starbucks launches Hazelnut Macchiato

March 7, 2013

Starbucks Coffee Company has created a new flavor, the Hazelnut Macchiato.

"Starbucks baristas use the world’s finest espresso to craft each beverage by hand, with unparalleled passion and expertise," said Cliff Burrows, president, Americas, Starbucks Coffee Company. "No beverage better demonstrates this level of craftsmanship than our signature four-layered Macchiato, and we know customers will love this new member of our espresso beverage family."

Similar to the Caramel Macchiato, one of the company’s most popular drinks, the new Hazelnut Macchiato features steamed milk marked with the brand’s "perfectly balanced espresso," Burrow said. The drink is finished with a drizzle of nutty, toasty-sweet hazelnut. As with all the chain's espresso beverages, the espresso shots used in the Hazelnut Macchiato are expertly pulled between 18 and 23 seconds and added to the drink within 10 seconds to help ensure a perfectly balanced, rich espresso flavor, he said.
