To be 100% honest, my Starbucks drink of choice is their white chocolate mocha, but I did try one of their caramel macchiatos just so I could compare the two, and I definitely prefer this one. My mother, being a huge Starbucks fan took one sip and said, “Hey, this is better than Starbucks!” And thus, this post was born. I hate wasting food, so I started putting it on everything, including my mom’s morning coffee. While the family was all together for the holidays, I made caramel sauce for one of our pies and had a ton left over. Some of the recipes I post go through careful planning and consideration before they come forth into the world. The photos in this post have been updated.

You can also use a store bought vanilla syrup (I get mine from Amazon) but you can also make it at home if you want to make the drink right now and don’t have the syrup on hand. The goal is to create a concentrated coffee. You can use either a moka pot, AeroPress or French press. Check out our guide to making espresso without an espresso machine. I usually use a moka pot to make espresso for my coffee drink recipes. However, you don’t have to use an espresso machine for this recipe if you don’t have one at home.

Instead of using foamed milk, I decided to use whipped cream. You can also use the frother to add a layer of foamed milk on top of the drink where the caramel sauce will be.

Tips for Making a Caramel Macchiato Milk and Milk Frother
To make a latte macchiato, you’ll first pour in milk then followed by the espresso.Īnd this is also the type of macchiato we’re making here, inspired by the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato drink. While the espresso is marked with a little bit of milk, the latte macchiato is more like milk stained with espresso. The latte macchiato is kind of the opposite of an espresso macchiato. So you can think of the espresso macchiato as ‘stained’ with milk espresso. Macchiato translates to stained or marked in Italian. This is just a shot or two of espresso, which is around 1 to 2 ounces of liquid and a tiny amount of steamed milk.
