Soooo do y’all put caramel drizz on the bottom of the drink whenever someone orders a caramel macchiato upside down OR do you still put it on top 🤨🤔 (self.starbucksbaristas)

Still goes on top. “Upside down” only means switching the order of the espresso and milk.

How does that differ from a latte if it’s an ‘upside down’ macchiato ?
Ristrettooo 24 points 7m ago
It’s built like a latte, but ordering a caramel macchiato upside down is cheaper, easier for people to remember, and fewer mods than the equivalent latte order.

Ah cheaper is a huge incentive for ppl

When I get an upside-down CM, I do the espresso, then ice, then milk to get that split. Doctor diagnosed me with schadenfreude at some customer's confusion tho.

The real question is, when they say stirred, do they mean the whole thing with the caramel drizzle? Or just the 3 other ingredients and caramel still sit on top?

I stir the whole thing usually

i just make it normal and then set the cup on the handoff plane upside down

I put it at the bottom and swish it with the shots and then add milk 😅 honestly I'm kinda sweating with everyone having different answers.

I do the top because if it was truly by the “upside down” logic we would pump vanilla at the top last

i just make it like a latte and put the drizzle on top. only reason people get upside down is to blend the milk and coffee for the first couple sips lol . even tho the best part of a macchiato is getting the tiny bit of coffee and sweet milk for the first couple sips, then it combines and makes a really light coffee drink. If we follow the true upside down logic, there’d be vanilla syrup on top of everything. at starbucks it’s the customers are always right,( but they’re very wrong.)

I always put it on the top bc this lady yelled at me once bc I put it on the bottom, I was still really really new at the time 🤷‍♀️

Classic lattice in bottom of cup, espresso, ice, milk, vanilla on top. Delicious this way 😌
