Hi Rafidah,
I know of 2 places in KL where you can get the syrup:
1) San Francisco Coffee sells Torani syrups website : http://www.torani.com/. Vanilla, Caramel and Hazelnut are the usual favourites.

2) I’ve seen Monin syrups at larger “mat salleh” friendly stores like Cold Storage & Village Grocer Bangsar. The local distributor is Simplex Maju.
Website : http://www.simplexmaju.com/

I have not seen any Caramel sauce around… but you can definitely make some yourself.

Hi Rafidah,
If you have low budget to buy coffee machine, why not try for aeropress coffee maker for a start.

Cheers.
Loev coffee

Hi KF,

I found it here http://www.all99.com/stores/home_garden/?page=shop/browse&category_id=858b82721c5da2b1b6f7c17bd427c912 but I haven’t made any purchase yet coz I don’t know where to get vanilla and caramel syrup/sauce. Yup, they only sell Delonghi and I read from 1 of ur previous post that the brand is not that good. I think by now u’ve figured out that I’m an amateur when it comes to coffee . I am not an espresso enthusiast like many of you here. Never really cared where the beans come from or whether its fresh or not. As long as it tastes good then I’m fine . I agree that a wrong machine may not make a good coffee. However, I’ve just started working and planning to get married this August so its impossible to fork out thousands just for an espresso machine. I think for a coffee newbie like me a simple n cheap machine is enough for now. If we got really good at making coffee I will definitely consider buying a more expensive machine.
Anyways, will keep on reading ur blog so I will know more about coffee. Hey, maybe you can make a new post to ‘educate’ ppl like me? Thanks!

Dear Rafidah,
Where are you buying the cheap espresso machine, what brand or model, and what’s the price? If you get the wrong machine, if will be very hard to make any drinks to rival Starbucks’ Caramel Macchiato. On the other hand, gettting a proper machine and with the proper skills, you can exceed Starbucks’ anytime.

And yes, I will let you know where to get and how much is the vanilla and caramel syrup. In fact, I’m having a caramel syrup at home… very nice.

Another note though: There is a different between syrup and sauce. The Starbucks caramel sauce (drizzle) is the best i have tasted. I don’t think you can buy that anywhere.

Hi KF,
I was browsing on where I can find affordable espresso machine in Malaysia and stumbled upon ur blog. I found a site which sells relatively cheap espresso machine and I plan to buy one for my fiance since he’s addicted to starbucks’ caramel macchiato. However, I do not know whether we have the vanilla and caramel syrup used to make the drink. Do you know where I can find it in Malaysia?
