A Decaf Latte Macchiato is a layered coffee beverage made with steamed milk, a shot of decaffeinated espresso, and a light layer of milk foam. Originating from Italy, the name 'macchiato' means 'stained' or 'marked,' referring to the espresso 'staining' the milk.
This drink is primarily a source of carbohydrates from the milk's lactose and provides calcium and some protein. A standard 16-ounce (grande) serving with whole milk typically contains around 190-240 calories.

Culturally, it offers the ritual and flavor profile of a classic Italian coffee drink without the caffeine, making it suitable for evening enjoyment. Nutritionally, the decaffeination process removes most caffeine while retaining the coffee's antioxidants.
