How to make a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato
Tasty, addictive and popular drink served in Starbucks is a Starbucks original. Simply it’s a vanilla latte with a bit less vanilla and extra foam, and with caramel sauce drizzled on top. How to make such a sweet drink at home?
Starbucks Caramel Macchiato recipe
For a one mug of this full-of-sugar coffee drink you would need
- espresso
- milk
- vanilla syrup
- and caramel topping
To a coffee mug, add vanilla syrup and steamed milk. Top with milk foam and add freshly brewed espresso through the foam. Drizzle with caramel sauce. If you want to make this Starbucks clone super accurate, pick up bottles of the authentic vanilla syrup and caramel sauce sold in Starbucks stores.
Starbucks Caramel Macchiato secret
The shots of espresso need to be added after the steamed milk. The actual recipe for the Grande Caramel Macchiato is 3 pumps vanilla syrup, add steamed milk with a bit of foam on the top, add double shot of espresso, and then make a criss-cross pattern on top of the foam with the caramel.

uh, a grande caramel macchiato calls for 3 pumps of vanilla syrup… remember… a little less than the standard for vanilla lattes… duh!
Try it iced with soy as a whole milk substitute, definitely my new favorite drink!
yes agreed with timmy……….i am a starbucks employee and ……anyone who knows anything about starbucks knows anything about the drink they purchase would know that it gets one less pump than normal. ie. tall 2 pumps of vanilla, grande 3, and a venti 4…..you should really change that and not make yourself look so ignorant

The above recipe for the drink is correct, it does recieve 3 pumps of vanilla. Coffee cups are always considered grande sizes. so he was correct and although tall gets 2 pumps grande gets 3 and venti gets 4, both the grande and venti drinks get 2 shots of espresso and tall gets one. I have the starbucks barista manual for drinks and he is correct. Actual starbucks drinks have a certain weight to make sure that everything was added correctly. So people at home will just have to tweek according to mug size and taste
I still keep trying to make this wonderful caramel macchiato at home. The thing that still doesn’t work ist the caramel-topping with the original starbucks drizzle sauce. Everytime I put it on top of the steamed milk the steamed milk is ruined and the sauce sinks into the coffee but doesn’t make this yummy topping. Du you have to warm the sauce up? What is the secret behind this sauce?

HOW MUCH MILK DO YOU USE?
Why not go to Starbucks and get the original drink instead of suffering through all of this burning the milk and not tasting right blah blah blah. just pay the $4 and enjoy a drink made 10x better than you could make it yourself.
what are the best flavored coffee beans/grinds to buy for this?
i think this is for a HOT macchiato…how do you make an iced one?
Iced Caramel Macchiato is the same exact recipe as above, just don’t steam the milk.
My girlfriend always orders us an upside-down version. How is this made then? It is my favorite drink BTW. I think I am addicted!!!
up-side down means the layers are added in reverse order from the recipe. I love them this way!
Thanks for all of the recipe advice! Does anyone know where you can buy one of the Caramel Macchiato sets? Starbucks has them during the holidays to purchase as gifts but now I can’t find them anywhere. Please help!
I am so addicted too!!! This is the best coffee drink ever!
I have the opportunity to visit different Starbucks between two different states and I just wonder if they all have the same manual and if the upside down carmel macchiato is a standard drink in this manual because I get it made several different ways. I love the drink but I would like it to be consitant
Those of you freaking out because he may or may not have made an error really need to chill out and get a life. It’s coffee. Go outside and take a breath of fresh air. Geez.
I love them any way they come, hot, cold and upside down. This is my all time fav.
I’m a diabetic but I absolutely love this drink. Is there a way to make this sugar free other than the obvious ditching of the caramel? AND have it actually taste good?
woooow. chill. its a drink.
good luck.
Dagguah- they are really easy to make. to avoid scorching the milk, heat it to about 140 degrees instead of 165. I just made one for the first time and someone who drinks a lot of them was my test subject. she said it was the best she has ever had. try try again.
