How it is built
Cold milk goes in first, then ice, then the espresso shots are poured over the top. The hot espresso is less dense than the cold milk so it floats, which gives the two-tone look. A flavor swirl, if you order one, goes in with the milk at the bottom.
Sizes and shot counts
| Size | Ounces | Espresso |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 16 oz | 1 double shot |
| Medium | 24 oz | 2 double shots |
| Large | 32 oz | 3 double shots |
The medium is the best value. It costs 70 cents more than a small and doubles the espresso.
Best flavors for an iced macchiato
Because the espresso sits on top and the swirl sits on the bottom, the drink changes as you go. Flavors that hold up:
- Caramel swirl: the default and the most ordered.
- French vanilla swirl: sweeter, tastes like a vanilla latte once mixed.
- Mocha swirl: works best with an extra shot, otherwise the chocolate dominates.
- Toasted almond shot: for a sugar free version with real flavor.
Skip cold foam on a macchiato. It covers the espresso layer and you lose the point of the drink.
Calories by milk
| Milk (medium, no flavor) | Calories |
|---|---|
| Whole milk | about 170 |
| Skim milk | about 100 |
| Oat milk | about 180 |
| Almond milk | about 110 |
Add roughly 50 calories per pump of swirl. Standard is three pumps in a medium.
Cheaper ways to get the same drink
An iced latte with an extra shot is about $5.28 for a medium versus $5.39 for the macchiato, and it has more espresso. If you like the drink strong and do not care about layers, that is the better order. If you want it even cheaper, an iced coffee with cream and a shot of your favorite flavor is about $3.49 and tastes close once the macchiato is stirred.
