Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make this without a Nespresso machine?

Yes! Use strong brewed coffee or any espresso pod system. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

Is this a healthy Starbucks drink?

Absolutely – it’s lower calorie than most frappuccinos and uses natural maple sweetener.

How do I get the perfect cold foam?

Most modern machines have a froth setting. Alternatively, use a French press ([mixing bowls]) with cold milk.

Can I make it vegan?

Swap dairy milk for oat or almond milk that froths well.

What’s the best maple syrup to use?

Pure Grade A maple syrup gives the most authentic Starbucks Secret Menu Drinks taste.
