How to make an Iced Caramel Macchiato from home using HiLine nespresso Compatible Capsules

Last week I shared how I used the Nespresso Citiz Espresso Maker to make a delicious Iced Caramel Macchiato at home.

How to make an Iced Caramel Macciato from home: Just a handful of ingredients, costing right around $1 per drink!

I honestly can’t believe how delicious espresso is and how easy it is to use the machine. The only problem? Nespresso capsules are spendy — they typically run around $1 each. The Iced Caramel Macchiato recipe calls for two shots of espresso, which will cost you well over $2 for a 16 ounce drink. Seriously? May as well just buy it at the coffee shop.

    Love following your blog for ideas with grandchildren, and love a good cup of coffee with a bit of cream.

    I would love to have the new espresso machine. I have an older machine that is not always dependable. I have had a variety of machines to make my own drinks over the past 20+ years. It would be nice to have the latest technology for my espressos.

  13. Lori says

    I have an older machine and would love an updated one. I make my own white chocolate Mocha’s. I believe nespressos are .65-.70 per pod not 1.00 unless you are factoring the shipping. I always buy these in bulk to cut down on individual costs. I love Nespresso!

  14. Pat says

    I love my espressso blended with grassfed butter, MCT oils, and a little stevia! Makes my brain and gut happy!

    Now that it is summer I love an iced americano with a little cream in the afternoon.

  22. Summer Womack says

    I used to always drink a Caramel Macchiato, but in recent years, had switched back to Americanos with cream… After reading your post the other day, I was LONGING for a Caramel Macchiato! (I only have a Keurig at home, so I couldn’t recreate it!)

    So, I’m back on the Caramel Macchiato scene!!!

    I am nursing and my son is intolerant to dairy. After some experimenting… My new favorite recipe is a dark chocolate mocha with coconut milk. The coconut milk still gets frothy and the dark chocolate is dairy free!

    Following you on Instagram and Pinterest!

    My favorite espresso drink, or the one I drink most often is an iced ristretto mocha americano. I also love an iced mocha with extra foam. Num!

    Follow you on Facebook. You have a knack for finding the best deals. My latest purchase is Keen boots!

  41. JHollyhock (aka Jennifer H.) says

    I am a chocolate person while my husband is a dark coffee person. When he orders a drink he gets lots of extra shots. He usually drinks it black, but enjoys a yummy sweetened beverage every once in a while too.

  42. Donna O says

    Everytime I see the picture of the Iced Caramel Macchiato it makes my mouth water! I would say, it is my favorite.
