McDonald’s launches caramel macchiato

McDonald’s coffee brand McCafe has newly launched the “caramel macchiato,” a coffee drink made by mixing espresso with milk and caramel.

The new drink comes in three sizes -- small, medium and large -- and is available in hot and ice types. Prices range from 2,400 won ($2.10) to 3,400 won. 

In addition to the new drink, McDonald’s plans to begin offering a large-sized version of its existing drinks in a move to diversify its customer choices.

“Our McCafe menu has been widened to meet the changing needs of our customers,” said the company’s marketing vice president of McDonald’s Korea Joh Joo-yun.
