jsharr ★ Posted March 15, 2022 Share #1 Posted March 15, 2022 I just had a caramel macchiato. I am not sure how I feel about this. It was nice, but maybe a bit too sweet and caramelly and I am not sure what a macchiato is or how one should taste, so maybe that is the problem. I need a real coffee snob to come to Texas and show me the ropes. Any volunteers? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had coffee in a long time. When I do, it's just coffee. Full strength, not that decaf stuff. No sugar. No milk. Definitely no caramel. And I have no idea what macchiato is, so it probably is bad for you, none of that either. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
