Home › Coffee & Espresso › Dunkin' Donuts Iced Macchiato: Price by Size, Calories, Caffeine & Flavors (2026)

A Dunkin’ iced macchiato costs about $4.49 for a Small, $4.99 for a Medium and $5.49 for a Large in 2026, with 80, 120 and 160 calories in the plain whole-milk version. The Dunkin’ Donuts iced macchiato is layered, with more espresso and less milk than a latte, so a Medium has 284 mg of caffeine against 166 mg in an iced latte. Prices are typical US prices and vary by location, because Dunkin’ restaurants are franchised and set their own prices.

Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato Price by Size (2026)

A Dunkin’ iced macchiato costs about $4.49 for a 16-ounce Small, $4.99 for a 24-ounce Medium and $5.49 for a 32-ounce Large in 2026. That is a little above an iced latte and well above iced coffee on the Dunkin’ menu with prices. Each size step adds $0.50 and eight more ounces, so the Large costs the least per ounce.

The typical price is the figure used across this site, and the range column shows the spread that 2026 price surveys report. The most recent surveys run about $0.20 higher per size, the top of the range reaches $6.56 for a Large, and listings for high-cost metro areas go higher still. Check the Dunkin’ app for your store’s price, and see the Dunkin’ coffee and espresso menu for other espresso drinks. Prices are typical US prices and vary by location.

Iced drinks stop at Large, so there is no Extra Large iced macchiato. The hot Dunkin’ macchiato costs about $0.20 less at each size, and the Dunkin’ cup sizes chart lists every cup in ounces.

Dunkin’ Donuts Iced Macchiato Calories, Sugar & Caffeine

A plain Dunkin’ Donuts iced macchiato made with whole milk has 80 calories in a Small, 120 in a Medium and 160 in a Large. Sugar runs 6, 9 and 12 grams, all from the milk, with none added. A Medium has about 29% fewer calories than an iced latte because the macchiato uses less milk.

Caffeine is where it stands out, with about 237 mg in a Small, 284 mg in a Medium and 371 mg in a Large. The US Food and Drug Administration cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally linked to negative effects in healthy adults, so a Large uses about 93% of that. Three independent nutrition databases agree on every figure here, and Dunkin’s official nutrition guide has the final word for your order.

Caffeine in Espresso-Shot Terms

A single Dunkin’ espresso shot has about 118 mg of caffeine, so a Small iced macchiato carries the caffeine of about 2.0 shots, a Medium about 2.4 and a Large about 3.1. Dunkin’ does not publish shot counts by size, and older third-party shot counts do not match today’s caffeine figures, so treat this as a caffeine comparison, not a recipe.

What’s in a Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato and How It’s Built

A Dunkin’ iced macchiato is made from three things: espresso, milk and ice, with whole milk as the standard in the nutrition data. It is served layered rather than mixed, so the espresso and milk start out as separate bands in the cup. Compared with an iced latte it has more espresso and less milk, which gives it a stronger coffee taste and a lighter body.

Stirring the layers changes how the first sips taste, not the calories or the caffeine. Once mixed, it drinks like a stronger, less milky version of the drink in our iced latte guide, with 118 mg more caffeine in a Medium. The same layered drink is sold hot with identical calories and caffeine per size, as covered on our hot macchiato page.

Milk, Espresso and Ice

• Espresso: Dunkin’s espresso, with about 118 mg of caffeine in a single shot.
• Milk: whole milk in the nutrition data. Skim, almondmilk and oatmilk are also offered, non-dairy milk has carried no extra charge since March 5, 2025, and Protein Milk still costs extra.
• Ice: cups include ice, so price per ounce compares cups, not liquid.

Dairy, Allergen and Diet Notes

A standard iced macchiato contains milk, and most sweet swirls also contain dairy. Sweet Cold Foam is reportedly a dairy foam, so an oatmilk macchiato topped with it is not dairy-free. Dunkin’ prepares drinks on shared equipment, so cross-contact is possible. Dunkin’ publishes an official allergen guide, and our Dunkin’ allergen guide explains how to read it before you order.

Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato Flavors, Swirls & Flavor Shots

Dunkin’ has no separate caramel macchiato recipe, so a caramel iced macchiato is an iced macchiato with caramel swirl added. Swirls are sweet, creamy syrups, while flavor shots are unsweetened and add almost no calories. Year-round swirls are Caramel, French Vanilla, Mocha and Butter Pecan, and shots include vanilla, hazelnut, toasted almond, blueberry, raspberry and coconut.

The calorie gap between the two is the biggest choice in the order. Caramel swirl lifts a Medium from 120 to 290 calories, while an unsweetened shot adds only 5 to 10. The Fall 2026 menu (launched Aug 19, 2026) added Pumpkin and a new Tiramisu swirl, and Dunkin’ says either can go into any hot or iced coffee, Cold Brew or espresso drink. Dunkin’ gave no end date, so check the app, because seasonal swirls rotate off the menu and availability varies by location.

Which Flavor Fits an Iced Macchiato Best?

• Lowest calories: an unsweetened vanilla, hazelnut or toasted almond shot, at 5–10 calories and no sugar.
• Classic caramel macchiato: the caramel swirl, at 290 calories and 47 g of sugar in a Medium, 35 g of it added (70% of the FDA’s 50 g Daily Value).
• Extra kick: Mocha swirl, which adds about 18 mg of caffeine on a latte.

Sweet Cold Foam adds about 45 calories and 7 g of sugar and usually costs $0.75 to $1.00 more; confirm that your store will add it to an espresso drink. Extra pumps of a shot or swirl usually add about $0.10 to $0.25, though each store sets its own add-on prices. The guide to Dunkin’ flavor shots and swirls and the Dunkin’ cold foam guide list every option, and our Dunkin’ caramel macchiato page covers the caramel build.

Best Value: Which Iced Macchiato Size Should You Buy?

Price per ounce settles the size question: the Large wins at 17.2¢ per fluid ounce, while a Small costs 28.1¢. That makes the Large about 39% cheaper per ounce, and it also delivers the most caffeine per dollar at 68 mg. Each step up adds $0.50 for 8 more ounces.

Value only helps if you finish the drink, and a Large is 93% of the 400 mg daily guideline, so many people will prefer a Medium. If caffeine per dollar is the only goal, a Medium iced coffee beats every macchiato size at about 90 mg per dollar, and our Dunkin’ iced coffee guide has the numbers. The macchiato’s premium buys espresso flavor, not cheap caffeine.

Best Ways to Order a Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato

The best order depends on what you want most: low calories, a flavored drink, the best price per ounce or a full breakfast. The picks below each solve one of those goals using the numbers in the tables above. None of them needs a secret menu name, so you can order them at the counter, the drive-thru or in the app.

A breakfast with a macchiato adds up quickly. A Medium iced macchiato with a Bacon, Egg & Cheese on a croissant costs about $9.98 to $11.98, and adding hash browns pushes it to $11.97 to $14.27. The limited-time $6 Meal Deal (back Mar 4, 2026 and promoted again Aug 19, 2026) excludes espresso drinks, so a macchiato does not qualify, and our Dunkin’ coupons and deals page tracks which offers are live.

Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato vs Iced Latte and Other Iced Drinks

The iced macchiato and the iced latte look alike on the menu, but they are built differently. A Medium macchiato has 284 mg of caffeine against 166 mg in a latte, and it has fewer calories (120 vs 170) because it uses less milk. The price gap is small, at about $0.20 in every size.

Against the rest of the iced menu, the macchiato is near the top on both caffeine and price. An iced Americano gives the same caffeine for less money, and iced coffee and Dunkin’ cold brew give more caffeine per dollar. Pick the macchiato when you want a milky espresso drink that is stronger than a latte, not when you want the cheapest caffeine.

Caffeine by Size: Macchiato vs Latte vs Iced Coffee

Size changes the ranking. A Small macchiato has more caffeine than a Small iced coffee (237 vs 198 mg) and 2 times a Small iced latte (118 mg), but the iced coffee overtakes it at Medium (297 vs 284 mg) and Large (396 vs 371 mg). Iced coffee gains 99 mg per size step, while the macchiato gains 47 mg and then 87 mg. The Dunkin’ iced cappuccino matches the latte’s caffeine.

How to Order an Iced Macchiato at Dunkin’ (App, Drive-Thru, In Store)

The iced macchiato sits on Dunkin’s regular espresso menu, so you can order it at the counter, at the drive-thru or in the app. Give the size first, then the drink, the milk and any flavor, since each of those choices changes the price or the calories. Say “iced macchiato” clearly, because an iced latte costs almost the same but has 118 mg less caffeine in a Medium.

The Dunkin’ app saves your usual order, shows your store’s exact price and lets you skip the line with mobile pickup. Members of Dunkin’ Rewards earn points on purchases and see member-only offers. If you want a sweetened version without building it yourself, the limited-time Iced Captain’ccino (espresso, caramel flavor and coffee milk over ice) is on the Avengers: Doomsday menu at participating restaurants from Nov 4, 2026.

1. Pick a size: Small (16 oz), Medium (24 oz) or Large (32 oz). Iced drinks have no Extra Large.
2. Say “iced macchiato” and choose your milk: whole, skim, almondmilk or oatmilk.
3. Add flavor: an unsweetened shot for no sugar, or a swirl such as caramel for a dessert-style drink.
4. Ask for fewer pumps to cut sweetness, or skip the swirl entirely.

Final Verdict: Is the Dunkin’ Iced Macchiato Worth It?

Yes, if you want an iced espresso drink that is stronger and lighter than an iced latte. The plain Medium costs about $4.99, has 120 calories and delivers 284 mg of caffeine, which is 118 mg more than a latte of the same size for about $0.20 extra. Our Dunkin’ vs Starbucks comparison shows how Dunkin’ espresso prices line up against the other big chain.

The smartest buy is a Large for value or a Medium for balance, flavored with an unsweetened shot if you want taste without sugar. A caramel swirl turns a 120-calorie drink into a 290-calorie one with 35 g of added sugar, so treat it as an occasional sweet drink. For a sweeter espresso drink with whipped cream and drizzle, the Dunkin’ Signature Lattes are the next step up.
