I&#x27;m not so sure. At all the coffee shops around where I live,  whenever you order a macchiato, they have to quiz you to make sure you want an actual macchiato, and not the sugar-filled concoction Starbucks labels a &quot;macchiato.&quot; I could see the same thing happening with flat whites, which have certain dimensions as part of their definition. It&#x27;s annoying when a large chain redefines an established, useful term.
