Product information

About

An instant caramel latte powder in seven single-cup sticks that foams on top when you pour on freshly boiled water, and it tastes sweet and milky with only a light coffee taste. Buy it if you like a sweet, café-style caramel latte; if you want a strong coffee or an unsweetened one, this is the wrong drink.

On the pack: カフェラトリー 濃厚キャラメルマキアート (ka-feh-ra-toh-ree noh-koh caramel macchiato, "Café Latory rich caramel macchiato"). Café Latory is the foaming café-drink range of Blendy, a Japanese instant coffee brand.

What you're getting

  • The powder crackles as the water goes in and leaves a layer of foam on top.
  • It is sweetened with sugar and two sweeteners, aspartame and acesulfame K.
  • The caramel comes from a caramel powder made with condensed milk, milk powders and cream cheese, mixed through a milky latte.
  • One stick makes a small cup, about 160 mL, so it suits a small mug rather than a big one.
  • Allergens: milk. Read the pack's own label before you rely on ours.
  • Also on the label: it contains aspartame, a source of phenylalanine, so anyone with phenylketonuria (PKU) should skip it.

There is no caramel sauce in the box: the drizzle on the box picture is only a picture. Macchiato here means a milky caramel latte, not a strong espresso drink. It is made with hot water, not cold milk, so for a cold or milkier cup, dissolve the stick in a little hot water first.

Our guide

How to eat it

  • For a hot caramel latte, tip one stick into a heat-proof mug.
  • Pour in about 160 mL of water straight off the boil, quickly, so it foams.
  • Stir straight away for about ten seconds.

Good to know

  • For a milkier cup, dissolve the stick in about 80 mL of hot water and top it up with about 80 mL of hot soy milk.

In their own words

What Japanese buyers say

  • It crackles as you pour in the water and makes foam. Amazing how they do it!

    お湯を注ぐとパチパチと鳴って、泡ができる製法がすごいです！

    from monolog, a Japanese review site

  • Tasty, but a bit too sweet.

    美味しいけどちょっと甘すぎる

    from monolog

  • It's tasty, and it lets me stop and take a breather.

    美味しくてホッと一息つけます。

    from monolog

  • One stick takes 160 mL of water, so I'd like a bit more in the cup.

    1スティクでお湯160なので量的にもう少し欲しいなぁ、と思います

    from monolog

  • The caramel taste is strong and it smells good, so I keep buying it again!

    キャラメルの味が濃いめで香りもいいのでリピ買いしてます！

    from monolog

  • Less coffee taste than I imagined. Maybe because I usually drink the slightly bitter ones?

    想像してたのより珈琲感が物足りなくていつもはほろ苦系のんでるからかな？

    from monolog

  • I don't like coffee, but this is the one I can enjoy.

    コーヒーが苦手だけれど、唯一美味しく飲める。

    from monolog

  • Strong caramel flavouring, lots of milk, little coffee. Not for me.

    キャラメルの香料強く、ミルク多い、コーヒー少ない、好みではありませんでした。

    from monolog

  • I use less water and top it up with milk.

    お湯を少なめにして牛乳を足して飲んでいます。

    from monolog

  • Fluffy foam, but it's a shame it disappears halfway (Starbucks' lasted to the end).

    ふわふわの泡立ちだけど途中で消えるの残念(スタバは最後まで残ってた)

    from mognavi, a Japanese food and drink review site

  • I don't like bitter, but cocoa-level sweetness is too much for me too, so this is just right.

    苦いのが苦手だけどココアみたいな甘すぎなのもダメなのでこれは丁度いい

    from monolog

  • Once it cools, though, the sweetness really stands out, so I wouldn't recommend letting it.

    ただ冷めてしまうと甘さが際立つので個人的にはオススメしません。

    from mognavi

  • Dissolve it in a little hot water, then pour in soy milk. Ridiculously good!

    少量のお湯で溶いてから、豆乳を注いで飲むとめちゃくちゃ美味しいです！

    from monolog

  • It's just sweet, nothing else.

    ただひたすら甘いだけですね

    from mognavi

  • Each cup feels a little small, but the flavour is full and it's really tasty!

    １回の量は少し少ない気もしていますが、味がしっかりしていて本当に美味しいです！

    from monolog

  • Under the smooth foam on top, a rich flavour is waiting.

    表面のアワアワのなめらかさの下には濃厚な味わいが待っています。

    from mognavi

  • Not a grown-up caramel macchiato: it's a milky one where the caramel sweetness spreads through.

    大人っぽいキャラメルマキアートではなく、ミルク感が強くキャラメルの甘さが広がるキャラメルマキアートです。
