An authentic Italian macchiato consists of merely 2 espresso shots 'marked' with a dash of frothy milk. There's no caramel involved.
Starbucks' representatives recognize a crucial distinction between Espresso Macchiato and Caramel Macchiato, where the former is milkier, and the latter is defined by sweetness with vanilla syrup.
The Caramel Macchiato is more like a sweet latte, with vanilla-flavored syrup, steamed milk, and a drizzle of caramel, being distinctly different from traditional versions.
Ordering a macchiato at Starbucks can be tricky, as barista interpretations vary widely, often leading to drinks that deviate from authentic Italian standards.
