Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Calories & Nutrition

A Grande (16 fl oz) Starbucks Caramel Macchiato made with 2% milk has 250 calories, 7 g fat, 33 g sugar, 10 g protein and 150 mg of caffeine. A Short has 120 calories and a Venti has 310. Vanilla syrup and caramel drizzle add most of the sugar.

What's in a Caramel Macchiato

A Caramel Macchiato is steamed milk with vanilla syrup, "marked" with espresso and finished with caramel drizzle. Starbucks uses 1, 2, 3 and 4 pumps of vanilla for Short, Tall, Grande and Venti. Short and Tall get one shot, while Grande and Venti get two.

Milk and customization swaps

Swaps are shown as the direction of change against the standard recipe. Starbucks' product pages don't publish per-drink numbers for each swap, so check the Starbucks app or our calculator for an estimate of your exact order.

Swap	Effect on calories	Notes
Sugar-free vanilla	Cuts calories and sugar	Ordered as a skinny-style macchiato
Light caramel drizzle	Small cut
Nonfat milk	Fewer calories and less fat	Protein stays about the same as 2%
Whole milk	More calories and fat	Creamier; the default in a Flat White
Almondmilk	Usually the lowest-calorie milk	Much less protein than dairy
Oatmilk	Usually more calories and carbs than almondmilk	Less protein than dairy; very creamy
Soymilk	Between almondmilk and 2%	The plant milk closest to dairy for protein
Coconutmilk	Usually fewer calories than 2%	Low protein; the base of the Pink Drink

Milk effects show direction only. Starbucks doesn't publish per-milk nutrition for this drink, so the calculator estimates swaps.

Syrup pumps and calories

Vanilla syrup: 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 pumps (Short / Tall / Grande / Venti), per Starbucks recipe data. Starbucks doesn't list nutrition per pump on its product pages. The figure most sites quote is about 20 calories and 5 g of sugar for one pump of a standard syrup such as Classic or Vanilla. Treat that as an estimate (unverified), not a Starbucks number. Sugar-free vanilla syrup adds almost no calories. For pump counts across the menu, see our Starbucks syrup calories per pump guide.

Lower-calorie ways to order

• Swap to sugar-free vanilla syrup.
• Ask for light caramel drizzle.
• Choose nonfat milk or almondmilk.
• Ask for 2 pumps instead of 3 in a Grande.
