Brûlée Caramel Coffee
Make this coffeehouse-style Brûlée Caramel Coffee at home in just minutes! Coffee, milk, caramel sauce and a touch of brown sugar come together to make a sweet caramel coffee treat!
One look around my kitchen, and you would immediately realize that I’m coffee obsessed. I have a coffee maker, two French presses, a cold brewer, and a stovetop espresso maker. While I normally take my coffee black or with just a splash of milk, every once in awhile I like to make something a little fancier.
Because I still had a small jar of bourbon caramel sauce left over from my Apple & Pecan Tart, I knew some sort of fancy coffeehouse-style caramel-coffee-delicious drink was in order. I was going for something reminiscent of a Starbucks caramel macchiato or caramel latte. No worries if you don’t have homemade caramel – you can use any sort of store-bought caramel sauce for this, too!
About this Caramel Coffee:

The recipe is simply a combination of brewed coffee and warmed milk infused with caramel and brown sugar. Top with whipped cream and extra caramel for that coffeehouse look!

How do you make a Caramel Coffee?:
First, brew two cups of coffee using your favorite method. While the coffee is brewing, heat some milk, caramel sauce and a touch of brown sugar (for that torched sugar efffect) in a small saucepan on the stove, until steaming. Combine the coffee and the warmed milk in mugs and top with whipped cream and more caramel.

Lori, this sounds amazing! I’m not a fan of dark black coffee and this is perfect for me.
I think you would definitely like this, Linda! Nice and creamy and sweet 🙂
Because of my wonderful wife, I now have one of these in my cubicle at work. All of my office loves the true coffee favor and feel every morning. It beats the regular potted swill hands down. Getting gadgets like this is truly – along with getting leftovers – the best part about blog-husbandry. Thanks honey!!! My coworkers thank you too!!!
I’m glad I could rescue you from bad office coffee 🙂 Enjoy!
I’m with you on the coffee machines. I have an espresso maker, a regular coffee maker, my iCoffee. Kinda want a French press next 😉 Loving the sound of this caramel drink!
We need a coffee addict support group, apparently!
Yum! I am such a coffee addict! This looks so delish!
Thanks so much, Nicole!
Oh Lori, this is fantastic! And you KNOW I know how much you love your iCoffee Single Serve machine. Ours in in use all day every day with every type of beverage imaginable. It is by far my favorite thing this holiday season!
Thanks Toni! Enjoy the rest of the holiday season 🙂
That’s a lot of coffee stuff in your kitchen, Lori! I love coffee and love what you just churned out! That Caramel Brûlée looks so fun to drink!

Hi Lori, this is pretty much an expansion of Jeff’s post (up there). We’ve all been using the iCoffee machine Jeff brought in and love it. In addition to having great flavored coffee, it’s also remedied the annoyance of
watching all the managers take the last cup of swill and leaving an empty pot for someone else to fill. So thank you for sending it it. My wife has been interested in getting a maker like this for a little and now having used one I think I know what she’s getting for Christmas. Website looks great Lori! Thanks again. P.S. Twizzlers are on the way….
Glad you guys are enjoying the iCoffee, Jon! Thanks for the comment, and the Twizzlers 🙂
I will make this coffee <3 thank you very very much for the recipe! I'm very happy that I found your blog <3
I’m so happy you found me, Monika!
This looks amazing Lori, I can’t wait to try your recipe. Nice pics too 🙂
Thanks so much, Silvia!
