A Doppio Starbucks Espresso Macchiato has 15 calories, 0 g sugar and about 150 mg of caffeine. A Solo has 10 calories and a Quad 25. It is espresso marked with a small dollop of steamed milk and foam, so it is one of the lowest-calorie espresso drinks at Starbucks.
What's in an Espresso Macchiato
Starbucks makes it with espresso and a dollop of steamed 2% milk and foam. It is sold by the shot: Solo, Doppio, Triple and Quad (1 / 2 / 3 / 4 shots), per Starbucks recipe data. It is a different drink from the Caramel Macchiato, which is a full latte with vanilla syrup and caramel drizzle.
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 |
|---|---|---|
| Nonfat or another milk for the foam | Not calculated | Starbucks doesn't publish the milk portion, so the calculator keeps the listed calories |
| Add a syrup | Adds calories and sugar | Not part of the standard drink |
| Add caramel drizzle | Adds calories and sugar | Not part of the standard drink |
Starbucks doesn't publish the milk portion for this drink, so the calculator keeps the listed calories if you change the milk.
Syrup pumps and calories
An Espresso Macchiato has no syrup by default. 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.
