Eggy espresso goop hiding under a mess of syrup and drizzle

why bother pouring the shots on top when they shoot to the bottom at rocket speed.

The iced ones, to be fair, are super pretty and satisfying to make when they actually foam up correctly. Heaven forbid your scoop is a little off or your milk is just 1° below perfection....

But the hot one? All I can think about is how I'm probably cooking the egg whites in the milk pitcher and watching it all pour into the cup in a big goopy glop. And if you don't stir the powder into the milk properly, it gunks up the steam wand :/

It's like drinking a marshmallow
soficantstfu [OP] 16 points 3y ago
An insult to marshmallows !!!
syntheticstrawbrry 5 points 3y ago
Omg watch now we’ll have a marshmallow cloud macchiato in the summer smh
Ziaheart 3 points 3y ago
It is sooooooo good.

How do you make the hot ones? We only have the cold cloud macchiatos (UK store).
Miturtleessuturtle 6 points 3y ago
You put the scoops of cloud powder into the milk, but instead of fluffing it up in the cold foam blender you steam it — milk, powder and all, like you would a hot matcha green tea latte — then pour into the cup with syrup, add shots on top and drizzle. It’s absolutely horrid.

fuck everyone who mobile orders a cloud macchiato, waits 30 minutes to get to the store, and then demands to have the drink remade because it sat there for too long and deflated
pikaneo 13 points 3y ago
I literally do not know how to make a single cloud macchiato drink because every single variation has a separate recipe and so I just don't bother anymore, I let someone else make it LOL
soficantstfu [OP] 8 points 3y ago
Right!! Starbucks just threw out all the rules when they game up with those 😭
coffeesuccs 7 points 3y ago
I hate them too!
maemac 6 points 3y ago
My deep dark secret is that sometimes when people ask if we have the cloud, I say no.
soficantstfu [OP] 2 points 3y ago
I won’t tell!

You are my hero!!
ftsktln 6 points 3y ago
Don’t mind making the hot ones but holy fuck when I see the word ‘Icd’ in front of it I scream internally.
sassmaster013 5 points 3y ago
The smell. When they’re made hot it smells like burnt rotten egg, and when they’re made cold... to me it just looks chunky and unappealing
SkylerSayys 1 points 3y ago
I... have never seen a cold one look chunky. I do agree they are terrible though! I shudder at making them and usually let someone else do it. Lowkey I want to try one so I can say I've tried everything on our menu but... i shudder when I think about it so I cant imagine I ever will. I hate eggs

It's like drinking a marshmallow.

The taste is the worst
heartashley 3 points 3y ago
I read this just after waking up and thought it said cloud pistachios

But yes I also hate cloud macchiatos.
soficantstfu [OP] 3 points 3y ago
Cloud pistachio 😂
Assiqtaq 2 points 3y ago
Yes. They are just a pain in the ass, and horrid.


Coffee meringue drink.
soficantstfu [OP] 1 points 3y ago
Ugh, I don’t like meringue either. But at least I like making that!
SkylerSayys 2 points 3y ago
Lol okay I have mixed feelings on meringue. It's yummy if its flavored or mixed with flavor. Never thought of a cloud as a meringue before (just never connected the dots) so I may actually try it now. I doubt I'll like it still but at least I can say I've tried it

That’s why I order my iced cloud macchiatos with no shots hehe
