Yeah, it's weird but hear me out. What they're referring to is a latte macchiato, which is the opposite of the traditional espresso machiatto you're familiar with. The word macchiato translates as "marked". So an espresso machiatto is an espresso that is marked (with milk), and a latte macchiato is milk with only a marking of espresso. Confusing if you've only heard of one of them, but it does make sense. A lot of Americans are only familiar with the latte macchiato, and major chain shops like Starbucks don't even know what an espresso macchiato is.
