Macchiato makers crossword clue

37 Down · WSJ Crossword, October 18, 2026 · 8 letters

Answer
BARISTAS
BARISTAS (8 letters)

Explanation

The answer to “Macchiato makers” is BARISTAS. It appears as 37 Down in the Wall Street Journal crossword of October 18, 2026, a Sunday puzzle titled “Hard Finishes” by Mike Shenk, and it fills 8 squares running top to bottom from row 8, column 13 of the 15×15 grid.

A plural clue takes a plural answer, which is why the entry ends in S. The entry begins with B and ends with S, and contains 3 vowels and 5 consonants. If you are working from the crossings, two or three confirmed letters from the Across entries should be enough to lock it in. Weekend puzzles follow the same conventions as the weekday grids, pitched a notch above midweek, so expect the rest of this grid to be pitched at the same level.
