Soy Carmel Machiatto from Starbucks

I could LIVE on these all day, every day if my checking account could handle it--so I'm thinking what kind of equipment and products do I need to make these myself at home? Does anyone know?!

I guess coffee, soy milk, caramel and the vanilla syrup :) Don't know if you can still buy it, but a couple of years ago I bought the caramel and vanilla syrup from a Starbucks. Took it home to Sweden and made Caramel Macchiato everyday, It was just like the real thing

Well... An espresso machine would be nice.....

Before I got mine, I bought an Aeropress... It's basically a plastic plunger. You put it on top of a cup or mug, put in a filter, dump your ground beans into the tube, fill it with water heated to temperature (I think 170 degrees), then you put the plunger in and squeeze the water thru the beans into your cup. I know it sounds odd, but it really makes a pretty good shot of espresso (you've got to start with good, fresh beans).

Then I heated some milk, and frothed it with my little frother, like this one:

Then use whatever sweeteners/syrups you like. You can buy syrups in lots of places, Torani and DaVinci are the easiest to find. I have purchased Monin on occasion at Marshall's. I'm pretty sure Starbucks will sell you syrup as well.
