The Starbucks Crema Collection Premium Instant Salted Caramel Flavored Coffee (6-Pack) is a bulk bundle of premium, café-style instant coffee mix that brings a sweet and savory coffeehouse favorite into an instant format.
Like the rest of the Crema Collection, its standout feature is its ability to automatically produce a silky, velvety layer of foam (crema) on top of the beverage when mixed with water—no expensive espresso machine or milk frother required.
What Comes in the 6-Pack?
- Quantity: The bundle consists of 6 individual recyclable tins.
- Size Per Tin: Each tin typically holds 7.12 oz (202 grams) of flavored coffee powder.
- Total Yield: A single tin yields roughly 11 to 14 cups (depending on your preferred strength), meaning the entire 6-pack provides approximately 66 to 84 total servings.
Flavor Profile & Ingredients
- The Taste: Crafted using 100% Arabica coffee beans (the same high-quality standard found in Starbucks retail cafés) seamlessly blended with a rich, buttery caramel flavor and a distinct pinch of salt. The savory salt cuts through the sweetness of the caramel, creating a deeply balanced, indulgent flavor profile that doesn't mask the bold taste of the coffee.
- The "Crema" Effect: The finely milled powder includes dairy elements that react instantly when liquid hits them, creating a thick, frothy microfoam blanket across the top of your drink.
- Key Ingredients: Sugar, instant and finely ground coffee, dried glucose syrup, skimmed milk powder, lactose, natural flavorings, and salt.
- Allergen Note: It contains milk and may contain trace amounts of wheat due to factory processing. It averages around 60 calories per serving before adding external creamers.
How to Prepare It (Hot or Iced)
The micro-milled powder dissolves flawlessly in both hot and cold liquids, making it a highly versatile choice for year-round coffee drinking.
- For a Hot Salted Caramel Latte:
- Spoon 1.5 tablespoons of the mix into a mug.
- Pour in 8 oz of hot water (just off the boil).
- Stir well and watch the golden caramel crema foam rise to the top.
- For an Iced Salted Caramel Coffee:
- Dissolve 1.5 tablespoons of the mix into 4 oz of warm or cold water and stir vigorously until fully dissolved and foamy.
- Fill the glass with 1 cup of ice cubes.
- Top it off with 4 oz of cold milk, almond milk, or half-and-half for a creamy, refreshing iced latte texture.
