Macchiato Reality Check

Macchiato Reality Check

A visual diff tool for Traditional vs. Starbucks Macchiato.

Born from a ski trip mistake: I ordered a Macchiato expecting a 20oz sugary latte, but got a tiny 3oz espresso. The barista promised it was the perfect "non-bloating fuel" for the slopes—and he was right. I built this single-page visualizer to demonstrate that massive "Scale Shock." It uses a morphing SVG animation to show the difference between the Starbucks expectation and the traditional reality, helping you order the right fuel without the confusion.

Hey Hunters! 👋 I’m a developer who recently stumbled into the world of specialty coffee by accident. The Backstory: I ordered a "Macchiato" right before a ski trip, fully expecting the giant, sugary version. Instead, the barista handed me a tiny, hot ceramic cup. I was confused, but he was super helpful. He told me: "Trust me, this keeps the heat, tastes amazing, and won't bloat your stomach before you hit the slopes." He was right. That single tiny cup woke me up completely and fueled me for two hours of intense skiing without the heaviness of a 20oz latte. I fell in love with the efficiency of the traditional Macchiato right there on the mountain. 🏔️ Why I built this: To express my love for this "tiny but mighty" drink (and to help others avoid the initial confusion I had), I built this single-page website. It features a morphing SVG animation that visualizes the "Scale Shock" — showing the difference between the Starbucks expectation and the traditional gem I discovered. The Ask: I know this is just a simple, single-page utility, so I'm not sure if it fits the typical "SaaS" vibe here. But I really wanted to share this discovery with you all. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the animation. Does the visual explanation make you want to try the tiny cup? ☕️
