Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato Coffee, 7 Pods 195g
Buy this for the person who wants a caramel coffee-shop drink at four in the afternoon and has no interest in owning a milk frother. Two discs go into the machine one after the other, milk first and coffee second, and because each carries its own printed instructions the bands actually stack the way they do behind a counter, which is more than most home methods manage. The L'Or roast is dark enough to stop the glass tasting like warm caramel milk, though it plays second to the sweetness, and that sweetness is sealed inside the disc with no way to reduce it. There is no version of this for a black-coffee drinker. The handful of scores it has collected so far is not a verdict either way, so this sits where it does on character: a dessert-leaning cup, well built, for a particular mood.
Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato Coffee, in brief.
Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato is a two-disc caramel milk drink for the Tassimo system, a L'Or coffee disc brewed through a caramel-flavoured milk disc so the glass builds in layers, picked into the Teas.co.uk curator selection as the coffee-shop caramel drink that needs no frother and no technique.
Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato is a two-disc milk drink for the Tassimo machine: a coffee disc and a caramel-flavoured milk disc that the machine brews one after the other into the same glass, so the coffee settles under the milk and the drink builds in visible layers. It is aimed squarely at the person who wants a caramel coffee-shop drink on a weekday morning without a milk frother, a jug to rinse or a barista.
Latte macchiato is not the same drink as a latte. The name means stained milk, and the order matters: milk first, then coffee poured through it, which is why a properly made one shows a pale band at the bottom, a darker coffee band above it and foam on top. Tassimo gets there by barcode. Each disc carries a printed code that tells the machine the water volume, the temperature and the flow rate for that specific drink, so the milk disc runs long and gentle while the coffee disc runs short and hot. You press one button twice and the machine does the sequencing.

4.5 / 5 - Our expert verdict from the curators at Teas.co.uk
The Story Behind L'Or And The Tassimo System
L'Or is the French coffee name in the Jacobs Douwe Egberts house, better known in the United Kingdom for its espresso capsules than for its milk drinks. Tassimo is the single-serve system it shares a stable with, and the two brands appear together on this pack because the coffee disc carries the L'Or roast while the milk disc is standard Tassimo hardware. That is why the drink tastes more like a French-style milky coffee than like the sharper Italian-style espresso drinks in the same machine range.
The system itself is the reason to buy a pack like this rather than a bag of beans. There is no dose to weigh, no grind to set and no milk to steam. The trade is control: you cannot make this drink stronger or less sweet from the pack alone, because both variables are fixed inside the two discs.
Packaging: Follow the current UK pack and local-authority guidance; components can require different disposal routes.

How does it compare
Every setting that matters is already printed on the discs, so getting a good glass out of Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato is about the glass, the machine and the order of operations rather than about temperature or timing.

Made with this tea
The Layered House Serve
How to make The Layered House Serve with Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato.
- 1 coffee disc Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato
- 1 caramel milk disc
- Fresh cold water in the tank
- 1 tall heatproof glass
- Rinse the tall glass with hot water and tip it out, so the drink does not lose heat the moment it lands.
- Run the milk disc first, barcode down, straight into the glass.
- Run the coffee disc immediately after, into the same glass, without moving it.
- Leave it unstirred and serve.
What you'll end up with: Three clean bands, a thick milk base and a caramel finish, in about the time it takes to find a spoon.
Iced Caramel Macchiato
How to make Iced Caramel Macchiato with Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato.
- 1 coffee disc Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato
- 1 caramel milk disc
- A full glass of ice
- 1 long spoon
- Fill a tall glass to the top with ice and let it stand for a minute.
- Run the milk disc straight over the ice.
- Run the coffee disc over the back of a spoon held just above the milk line, so the bands stay separate.
- Top with a little more ice and serve with a long spoon.
What you'll end up with: A sharper, cleaner version of the hot drink, with the coffee band holding its shape right down the glass.
Double Shot Morning Build
How to make Double Shot Morning Build with Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato.

- 1 caramel milk disc
- 1 large heatproof glass
- Run the milk disc into a large glass.
- Run one coffee disc into the same glass.
- Run a second coffee disc straight after the first.
- Stir once. At this strength the layers will not hold anyway.
What you'll end up with: The same drink with the coffee moved to the front, for a morning when the standard build is too gentle.
Affogato-Style Pudding
How to make Affogato-Style Pudding with Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato.
- 1 coffee disc Tassimo L'Or Caramel Latte Macchiato
- 1 caramel milk disc
- 2 scoops vanilla ice cream

- Put one scoop of vanilla ice cream in each of two small glasses.
- Run the milk disc over both, dividing it roughly in half.
- Run the coffee disc over both in the same way.
- Finish with a pinch of flaked sea salt and eat straight away.
What you'll end up with: A salted caramel affogato with no syrup bottle involved, and the salt stops it reading as purely sweet.
