  • Love the aroma

    These capsules have scored a 10/10 from me and my husband. We loved the flavour and the cosy aroma. We have already bought another box of these. They are different from regular coffee but have a really nice flavour. I would recommend if you like to try new and different things.

  • Fancy without leaving home

    What a fancy treat that tastes just like a store bought Macchiato without having to leave the house and without the extravagant price tag. The machine and capsules are so easy to use and make having a treat at home beyond easy. The only problem with the capsules is rationing yourself to one a day as not to overindulge! I have already repurchased and have loved having friends over to share a coffee and chat.

  • Family favourite

    We love the taste of Caramel Macchito.

  • Silky Smooth and So Creamy

    I absolutely love the caramel flavour of thr Nescafe Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Coffee Capsules. They are so full of flavour and pack a really nice coffee kick. The pods are easy to use and affordable and the coffee looks stunning.
    The milk capsule froths up just like a café coffee but they are so much more affordable and I don’t even need to change out of my PJ’s.

    This is my favourite flavour in this whole range as the caramel aroma always brightens up my day when I feel tired or sad. These capsules are super efficient and easy to use (even for beginners like my husband) and always help me get ready for the coffee within seconds. Would definitely keep trying other flavours in the future.:)

  • Loved it!

    Caramel macchiato is my favourite of all the coffees I have tried so far. I love the creamy taste and it’s super delicious. It’s has just right amount of sweetness, not too much so I can still say I drink coffee. I love the caramel aroma and it really cheers me up every time I have a cup.

  • Brings back memories!

    What a great take on such a classic drink! There are separate milk & coffee pods to ensure you enjoy this drink the way it is intended- “marked” which is the English translation of the coffees name. I would love to see this box with an included caramel bottle to make it absolutely perfect, though I got by with a drizzle of honey ontop. Yum!

  • So sweet

    Ok this is my new favourite flavour. So delicious and sweet but not too sweet. Just the perfect amount of sweetness to hit the spot and stop you from binge eating. Would be great for a pick me up on a Monday morning. It’s great you can determine how much of the caramel shot you want too. I did my a bit stronger than recommended on the capsule. Overall great taste, taste just like you are dining in at Starbucks

  • Sweet and creamy

    Yum!!! This Starbucks caramel macchiato tastes just like it was from a cafe from the convenience of my own home. It requires 2 pods. One is the coffee and one is the creamer (milk and sugar). The pods are 2 different colours but the top is exactly the same besides the timing recommendation. I do think this needs to be a little more different also since I originally didn’t notice the 2 different pod colours since I looked on the top first. A slight change in colour on this would help with any confusion. The first thing I love about this coffee is how frothy and foamy it gets. The foam is nice and sweet. Mixed all together this coffee is sweet enough that you don’t need to add any more sugar, it has nice caramel notes and it isn’t too bitter. It tastes smooth and creamy and I almost forgot that I made this myself using my dolce gusto machine. I was lucky enough to be gifted these pods, however when I do go to purchase more I will probably wait until they are on sale as they are a little pricey. But overall I really enjoyed this coffee and can’t wait to try more.

Summer beach and pool days are core childhood memory creators, but getting the kids out the door, not so much! From wrestling wriggly toddlers into rashies to arguing with teens trying to dodge sunscreen and cramming half the house into the car, the exhaustion can kick in before we’ve even set foot on the sand!

But there are some very clever tips that will make even the most stressful summer days smooth sailing – and the Mouths of Mums community know them all! Which is why we asked our mums for their hints, hacks and tips – from sand removal to stress-free sunscreen application (we’re going to introduce you to the fabulous new Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Sprays that will make your life so much easier). 

You’ll want to take note before you next hit the beach or pool!

Pack Smart, Not Big

Do you feel like you take waaayyy too much when you head to the beach or pool, and then you seem to forget a couple of key things that would have made life so much easier?

Our Mouths of Mums community swear by this fab list of essentials which should be in every mum’s beach kit, and

  • A plastic bag for wet towels and bathers
  • A dry bag for clothes
  • A bucket or basin to wash off sandy toys
  • A ‘clean zone’, sand-free blanket or mat for eating and changing
  • A pop-up tent for changing
  • Waterproof phone case
  • Talcum powder to get sticky, wet sand off little feet. Just pop it on and brush it off – it’s magic!
  • A hand-held car vac for quick sand cleanups!

“The amount of times my kids have gone home in wet chafing swimming costumes because they didn’t want anyone to see them changing is unbelievable! Our pop up tent has been life changing! We all drive home comfy and cosy! Lastly, a sand proof picnic blanket is so perfect for a sand reprieve! The sand literally falls right through them!” – MoM Member

Get Safety Sorted Before The Fun Starts

It’s pretty hard to get the kids’ attention once you’re at the beach or pool, so the safety talk should really start at home. Our mums recommend chatting to the kids about:

  • Swimming between the flags at the beach
  • Setting a meeting spot in case anyone gets separated
  • Sunscreen: Always apply sunscreen 20 minutes before heading outdoors. And set alarms to reapply every two hours throughout the day. Reapply immediately after swimming or using a towel. 

Applying sunscreen at the start of the day and regularly throughout is so important, but it usually causes the most arguments. Kids don’t want to stop, teens assure you they ‘did it already’.

That’s where Banana Boat’s new SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ actually makes a difference. The iconic sunscreen brand has just launched its newest product, which turns sunscreen time into something simple and fun. It’s an easy and convenient way to tick off sun safety – which isn’t always easy when it comes to kids!

Why Banana Boat SmartMist Sunscreen Spray makes sunscreen easier

  • The Smart Control Spray gives you the choice of a short spray for tricky spots or a long spray for larger areas like those wiggly little legs, making application simple and convenient. It also sprays from any angle – just spray, rub in and you’re ready for playtime.
  • Clear, lightweight formula that absorbs fast and with no greasy feel.
  • SPF50+ broad spectrum UVA and UVB protection and 4-hour water resistant.
  • Kids SmartMist™ is mild and gentle for kid’s sensitive skin, fragrance free and contains Aloe and Vitamin E.
  • Sport SmartMist™ features high-performance Powerstay Technology™, designed to stay on through sweat and water.

Banana Boat SmartMist makes those important sunscreen stops much easier and effective and is perfect for active Aussie families this summer.

There’s nothing worse than kids itching to get to the beach while you’re trying to remember everything you need to pack – it makes everyone frazzled. So get prepped early – even the night before. And time your departure to minimise the amount of time in the car (and the amount of times the kids ask ‘are we there yet?!’.

“Packing the car the night before, always a huge help getting the bucket, cabana, and bag of spare clothes/towels in the boot. We usually leave straight after breakfast to avoid heavy traffic as the beach is an hour away.” – MoM Member

Pack Smart Snacks

Snacks are a must, but it can be tricky to know what’s going to survive a hot, Aussie summer day – and what’s good for hungry tummies. Here’s what our mums recommend:

  • Chopped fruit
  • Crackers
  • Boiled eggs
  • Drink bottles that have been frozen overnight

“We have a few allergies/intolerances, so being prepared with food is helpful and saves us the search and some money. I pre-chop carrots, cucumber, apples, boiled egg, in a handy separating container, a packet of chips, dip, and bring water bottles. If it’s a longer day planned at the beach I’ll bring lunch too.” – MoM Member

A chaos-free beach day. Yes please!

You don’t need a military-style plan to enjoy a sunny day out. A beach trolley, some prep, and an easy sunscreen like SmartMist™ are enough to help things run calmly – or at least calm-ish!

New Banana Boat Sport SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml and Banana Boat Kids SmartMist™ Sunscreen Spray SPF50+ 200ml (RRP $28.00) are available now at leading pharmacies, supermarkets and online retailers nationwide. 


Always read the label and follow the directions for use. Wear protective clothing, a hat and sunglasses in addition to sunscreen. Reapply frequently every 2 hours or more often when sweating and immediately after swimming or using a towel. Avoid prolonged high-risk sun exposure.

  • My biggest tip is to be very clear who’s watching the kids, especially when they’re in the water. Like, actually verbally hand over and make sure it’s acknowledged if you’re going somewhere (like to the bathroom). That can definitely save lives, but also save panics about lost kids in crowded spaces.

  • Some really good tips here! I had no idea about the talcum powder hack – who would have known! That is amazing and I will definitely try it next time we go to the beach! It is definitely worthwhile getting things ready the night before though, especially if you want to leave before midnight lol.
