Script error: No such module "Lang". (Script error: No such module "IPA".; sometimes called Script error: No such module "Lang".[1][2] and sometimes shortened to just Script error: No such module "Lang". in English) is an espresso with a small amount of milk, usually foamed. In Italian, Script error: No such module "Lang". means 'stained' or 'spotted', so the literal translation of Script error: No such module "Lang". is 'stained coffee' or 'marked coffee'.

History

The origin of the name Script error: No such module "Lang". stems from the difference between an espresso and an espresso with a tiny bit of milk in it; the latter was "marked". The idea is reflected in the Portuguese name for the drink: Script error: No such module "Lang"., meaning 'coffee with a drop'.[3]

Preparation

Script error: No such module "Lang". has the highest ratio of espresso to milk of any drink made with those ingredients. The intent is that the milk moderates, rather than overwhelms, the taste of the coffee while adding a touch of sweetness. The drink is typically prepared by pouring a small amount of steamed milk directly into a single shot of espresso.[4] One recipe calls for Template:Convert, about 1–2 teaspoons of milk, heated to Template:Convert.[5]

Outside Italy

In Australia, the drink is referred to simply as Script error: No such module "Lang"., often shortened to just "mac", and has some variants.[6] A traditional long Script error: No such module "Lang". is usually a double-shot of espresso with a dash of textured milk (milk that is frothed before being heated, whereas steamed milk is frothed and heated at the same time) and most of the glass left empty. In Perth, a "long mac topped up" is usually a double-shot of espresso with the glass filled with textured milk. In Melbourne, a Script error: No such module "Lang". is a double-shot of espresso, a glass half-filled with water, and a dash of textured milk on top.[7]
