As you can see in pictures, my milk only frothed up a little. It may sound silly to use any of those things to froth your milk but it does work, albeit just not to the same level as a coffee shop. If you have a milk frother or a milk steamer at home, then you will have the same kind of frothy milk that a coffee shop has but if not, the closest you can do is probably an immersion blender, blender, or a handheld mixer. Now the biggest problem I have found in making caramel macchiatos at home is that it is a bit harder to get as much frothy milk on top.

Now at the time, I’ll admit that I didn’t know the difference between a caramel macchiato and a caramel latte but as time when on and I got to be more of a coffee snob, I realized that while prepared slightly differently from a latte, it also has both caramel sauce and vanilla simple syrup which made it taste even better! I started drinking those almost every day and really fell in love with them. Our university only had a cafe that “served Starbucks” so the menu was very, very limited with the most exciting thing being the caramel macchiato.
