Caramel Macchiato vs Other Coffee Drinks

The caramel macchiato stands out from traditional espresso drinks like a latte or macchiato due to the added sweetness of caramel syrup. If you’re deciding between a hot caramel macchiato or an iced caramel macchiato, the choice is yours — both offer the same rich flavor, but one is chilled for a refreshing summer treat.
