How many pumps of syrup go into a (Short) Caramel Macchiato?

In a Short Caramel Macchiato, the standard amount of syrup used is one pump. This amount is specifically designed to provide the right level of sweetness without overpowering the other flavors in the drink, particularly the espresso and milk. The Caramel Macchiato's unique flavor profile comes from the balance of the vanilla syrup, the espresso shots, and the caramel topping, so using one pump ensures this balance is maintained for a harmonious taste experience. Other sizes may require more pumps, but for the Short size, one pump is optimal for achieving the desired flavor.
