Where the Caramel Macchiato came from

Introduced 1996

Starbucks launched the Caramel Macchiato in March 1996 to mark the company's 25th anniversary. It was meant to run for a few weeks; it sold well enough to join the permanent menu within the year and has never left.

Product developer Hannah Su and her team spent around ten months on it and went through more than thirty versions.
The hardest part was the caramel: they needed a sauce that tasted right and would also sit on top of the foam instead of sinking through it.

History reported by Sprudge and Mashed; nutrition figures are Starbucks' own published data.
