Barissimo Caramel Macchiato Iced Coffee

EDITOR’S NOTE: Updated for 2026. 

I’m primarily a tea person, but I do like certain coffee products. I like iced coffee, cappuccino, and lattes. Aldi sometimes sells latte frappes during the summer months that are as good as what you’d find in a coffee shop. The limited-edition dirty chai lattes (with espresso) from Aldi are good as well, if very sugary.

Aldi also has some good everyday iced coffees in the refrigerated aisle. I’ve written about their mocha iced coffee. Here, I’m taking a look at their caramel macchiato iced coffee.

 

Barissimo Caramel Macchiato Iced Coffee cost $3.89 for a half gallon (1.89 liters) carton in 2026. That’s up from $3.29 when we first wrote about it in 2023.

This is a core range or Regular Buy that is available in stores year round.

This is ready to drink. Simply shake well, pour over ice, and serve. The carton says to keep this refrigerated, and it should be used within 7-10 days of opening the carton. The carton also states:

Premium beans make a great iced coffee! Each of our creamy iced coffees begins with only 100% Premium Arabica Beans for the most flavorful, rich and smooth coffee. Then we blend them perfectly with real cream, milk and flavors to bring you a sweet & creamy, well-balanced taste you’re sure to love. Just pour over ice and enjoy!

Nutrition Facts and Ingredients:

This contains about 77 mg of caffeine per 1-cup serving. It is kosher certified.

Ingredients are coffee (water, coffee extract), reduced fat milk, sugar, and 2% or less of cream, natural flavors, sweet whey, caramel color, gellan gum, carrageenan, and sodium citrate.

If you’re looking out for allergens, this contains milk.

One carton contains eight 1-cup servings. Not surprisingly, this contains a lot of added sugar. You could potentially reduce the sugar content by mixing this with some unsweetened iced coffee. Because this caramel macchiato iced coffee contains reduced fat milk, the fat content is relatively low, although current science makes a good argument about the benefits of whole milk.

One serving will net you 140 calories, 2.5 grams of total fat (3% DV), 1.5 grams of saturated fat (8% DV), 10 mg of cholesterol (3% DV), 80 mg of sodium (4% DV), 27 grams of total carbohydrates (10% DV), no dietary fiber, 26 grams of total sugars, 20 grams of added sugars (40% DV), and 4 grams of protein.

How it Tastes:

As for how this tastes, it’s good. It’s sweet, with some caramel notes. It also has a good coffee flavor, and for people like me who don’t drink coffee without doctoring it up, this is pretty good. It’s a treat to pour some of this into a glass with ice for a little energy boost.

My only complaint is that I wish this had a little less added sugar. I often get drinks that are only 75% sweetness or less when I go to coffee shops. In comparison, this coffee drink is very sweet and would probably taste fine with a little less sugar. I would buy this more often if they had a lower-sugar option.

The Verdict:

Barissimo Caramel Macchiato Iced Coffee is a creamy, sweet coffee drink you’ll find in the refrigerated case at Aldi. It has caramel notes and is pretty sweet. If you’re looking for a cheaper way to enjoy iced coffee instead of going to the coffee shop all the time, this is worth a try.
