Soy Chai tea latte

>>4626302
Lactose intolerant or other?

For some reason the moment my ex got a job at Starbucks I regretted dumping her so much. Why didn't she wear and apron and make me expensive coffees all day before?

Ive never been to any coffee place in my life

french press at home master race

>>4626309
also
>hot chocolate with espresso
Starbucks coffee kind of sucks anyway so I have no shame using it as a place to get a sugar fix when I get the cravings

I'll have a coffee with cream and sugar.

>>4626308
Lactose intolerant. I don't like the fattiness and taste of the normal chai tea latter.

They aren't vegan, since they have honey in them

>>4626316
I agree about the fattiness. Even with nonfat it's still far more rich than I'd like, and not as strong, either. I find the iced chai lattes are a little better, but even then I prefer to make my own.

Black coffee no sugar.

Proud to say I've never ordered from a starbucks.

>>4626319
The soy milk has a lighter taste, and kind of nutty quality to it that works well with all the spices. Iced chai lattes are pretty good, but I always feel like I get far less than when I order a regular chai latte.

I'd love to be able to make my own. How'd you make yours?

The last time I went to a Starbucks was years ago, I had a seasonal pumpkin latte.

>>4626321
You, I like you.

>>4626326
Well, you can buy pre-mixed chai teas (with black tea, cloves, cinnamon, cardamom, etc.) and simmer it with milk; alternately you can create your own mix. I alternate between the two; for my own homemade mix I use ceylon and/or assam black tea, whichever I have on hand. You know, I've never been able to stand the taste of soy milk; makes me gag every time (I think this has something to do with my mother, who used to make her own soymilk and make us drink it when we were little)

(I will never forgive her for that)

Flat White, please. No sugar.

I'm lucky enough to live in an area thats big on coffee, so most of the cafe's have excellent quality beans brewed by people who actually give a damn - hence, no sugar

>>4626355
I tried soy milk once about eight or nine years ago and it tasted like rotten piss. I tried it again last year and it tasted pretty good. It depends on your brand. In Britain, we have Alpro which is pretty damn good. It has a slight nutty taste, but it is mainly plain tasting. I can't stand the unsweetened wholebean, still.

I'll look into geting a chai mix. I'll find what brands I like, and then make up my own based on what I like (Heavy on the cinnamon, low on the cardamom etc...)

Thanks for the help!

Iced caramel macchiato venti
i get it maybe 1 or 2 a year..

>>4626302
I fucking hate making this order.

>>4626388
>tfw coffee snobs attempt to test me on making this at Starbucks
why, you already know what the end result will be even without me making it
>>4626408
>Ice Caramel macchiato
okay that's
>Venti
GTFO RIGHT NOW, FUCK hate Venti size
>>4626411
Are you trying to kill yourself?
>Also extra shots
Go to hell. if you don't mind

Truth be told I love it when people just order plain coffee. It makes my life easier especially during closing in fact I'll upgrade your size for free and even give you a discount if its near closing.

If there's anything I truthfully hate about this job its my witch of a supervisor who has her own posse (Or as I like to call them "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants") and everyone and anyone who orders a Frappuccino no matter what size.

>>4626447
I order my soy chai tea latte in a venti, and if any equipment has touched dairy and I notice it, you're making it again.

>>4626308

Starbucks Chai tastes better with soy milk than with regular milk.

iced venti 6 shot no water americano

>>4626447
>that asshole that walks in 5 min before you close.

No I don't do this and yes there is a special place reserved in hell for this kind of person.

>are you trying to kill yourself
I know i consume a shit ton of caffeine and i know its not good for me but i have a hell of a tolerance at this point. Whenever i do this i pound the double and sip on the wc mocha. I don't hit Starbucks as often as i use to i usually just kill 5 hour powers and redbulls or pop some stackers.

>>4626447
>everyone and anyone who orders a Frappuccino no matter what size.

Fellow Starbucksfag here: I agree, which is unfortunate, since that's all anyone ever fucking orders.

People who order extra caramel or "whipped cream on the bottom" are worse than a bus full of Hitlers.

>>4626465
use extra liquid so it's easier to pour

>>4626454
I hope you have the time to wait because you are not getting it in a timely manner, this time.

I disgress it easier if it is small store in a small town community where foot traffic is low but if there is high foot traffic. Then so sorry too bad we have to keep it moving. Apart from cleaning and dealing with ungrateful people and being short staffed with workers who don't work. Its a chore.

Honestly I had a person like you once. Who was convinced that we were deliberately trying to poison her. So we made her drink four times even got a cleaner pitcher from the back. Still no anvil. So we gave her a refund and saw her off. Seriously I don't get paid enough to remake drinks 4 or 5 times over especially if they are venti sized

If you have health concerns I'll work with you. If you don't then kindly leave right now. I mean why are you at Starbucks. Have our stuff is made with animal byproducts and chemicals.

does starbucks still use the vanilla soy milk? I have't been there in a long time but I always found that it worked better with the chai/green tea latters and caramel macchiatos.

>>4626469
>automatic machines
>no time

pick one.

>>4626454

Yeah, they're making it again, with the same dirty equipment, because fuck you, I'm not getting a new pitcher or steam wand to make some faggot's drink.

>>4626472
yes we still do

triple espresso in a to go cup.

>>4626468

Extra liquid where in the process?

When making whipped cream? Like fucking hell I'm ruining what would have otherwise been a perfectly good WC canister to purposefully make a shitty version of it to appease some dipshit who doesn't understand basic physics.

>>4626299
Cafe Au Lait.

I work at Starbucks and just make my own drinks right before my shift. If I don't have a lot of time, I'll make an undertow. Otherwise, grande iced coffee, two pumps classic, splash half & half ("breve").

>>4626497
the frappucino base, use more of it. than recommended

>>4626465
work at an airport specifically Baltimore. We had this one night were American Airlines had a glitch and we suddenly got stupid busy at around 11:30pm and this one family orders SIX VENTI CARAMEL FRAPPUCCINO. I wanted to die that night.

I'm scared about what's going to happen when Bronycon happens in August..I hope I get to meet Tara.

>no spoilers on /ck/

>>4626460
the poor man's latte ave starbucks style

>>4626513
i don't add anything to it. I just want as much caffeine as quick as possible.

Winter: 2/3 decaf, 1/3 caf...half and half...
Summer: same thing, but iced...simple, classic, and its only a buck.

>>4626465
>People who order extra caramel or "whipped cream on the bottom" are worse than a bus full of Hitlers.

Thanks, if I ever go to StarBucks I'm asking for both.

One order of Decaff coffee

>>4626465
>>4626447
You understand my pain!

there's a new starbucks that opened on my campus. its becoming very popular, and its a great place to take girls

however, i am unable to drink caffeine. If i drink any caffeine, even from coca cola, i start stuttering like an idiot. i think its an allergic reaction

what are some good 0 caffeine drinks I can order from starbucks? Flavors I like are things like chocolate, milky, creamy, cinnamon, icy, etc

Hot or cold, I don't care. Any Starbucks bros in this thread who could recommend me stuff to try with no caffeine?

I really appreciate you employees who post

>>4626579
the hot chocolate is quite good

Venti iced mocha frappachino mixed with a white chocolate mocha frappachino with two pumps of raspberry sauce.

>Grande iced mocha, non-fat, with no whip cream and half the syrup.

I like coffee with a little bit of chocolate, not chocolate milk.

>>4626596
hot chocolate has as much caffeine as a can of coke ;-;

ive tried it, i wish it didnt

thanks though!

ill probably just ask for a glass of nonfat milk and load up on the delicious pretzels, brownies, etc

>>4626579
Hot Chocolate, Caramel Apple Spice, Ice Lemonade, Smoothies, Creme based Frappuccinos (Ex: Grande Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino with 2 pumps of Toffee, with caramel drizzle), Hot Milk, and Water

I mean we don't have to add the espresso shots to any of the drinks if you want us to. Only if you ask of course.

Also have you ever though of eating a banana and drinking milk after consuming caffeine? It helps.

>>4626603
ill give that a shot, thanks

Why would you want a decaf coffee? That's like drinking an alcohol free whisky.

Cappucino here btw.

Tall drip coffee with no room please, thanks

then I realize that Starbucks coffee is shit as fuck unless its 90% sugar and flavorings.

Tully's master race reportan in

>>4626622

Fuck yeah bro

>>4626596
You know what I love to do with the Hot Chocolate. I add one shot of hazelnut, one shot of caramel alongside the vanilla. It makes it taste delicious and its sugary.

Cafe con Leche

I'll have one small black coffee and three packets of splenda.

Femanon here...I drink decaf because I actually like the taste of coffee, and because the caffeine makes my heart beat way too fast. AND if I drink it or any caffeinated beverage too late in the day, i can't sleep. Call me a wimp, but that's the way it is.

BTW... I also have yet to give Starbucks any of my money. They are the Walmart of the coffee industry.

>>4626721
Nah, don't feel bad, I'm the same way. Love the taste of coffee, can't have the caffeine. Decaf it is!

>>4626721
>Femanon here

Sage for irrelevant attention whoring.

Tall bold black. That is all.

On a hot day, maybe an iced coffee with cream and sugar. For some reason cold coffee tastes amazing with fat and sugar added to it, but it feels wrong with hot coffee.

I always just say "small black coffee". I really don't care for their store specific size names.

>>4626299

>single or double shot esspresso, no sugar cream or other additions

Or alternatively a cup of black coffee with no additives

Americano.

Iced Americano.

The only coffee drink I'll drink. Otherwise, its tea city, motherfuckers.

>>4626808
Yep, I refuse to use their retarded Italian or whatever size names. The most pretentious shit ever. I order a LARGE black coffee. When asked if I want room for cream I leer at them and say "No, I already said I want it black".

>>4626299
Naw, it's more like you're not an American and we don't care about your starbucks opinons. Get over your homosexual self.

cortadito, bitch.

I only ever get a double shot espresso with a large sweetened iced tea from Starbucks.

I fucking hate coffee, but downing that thing followed by a shitload of iced tea (to drown out the taste) gets me buzzed like nothing else.

>>4626840
Maybe that's because you're a homosexual?

>>4626837
maybe :-)

One cup of warm half and half please.

>I pretty much only ever get black coffee no matter where I'm at
>Maybe some sugar

Medium black.

There's only two things I ever order in a starbucks. And I never go to starbucks as my choice, I only go when a person I'm with insists.
Soy green tea latte, unsweetened
Or
Blonde roast, black.

Those are the only things I can stand there.

>>4626300
smh

never ordered from starbucks but I have an espresso machine at work
long espresso, lots of homo milk, ice, shake shake, pour over ice
>no homo
woops forgot the sugar

>>4626840
that sounds like a good combo.

I used to usually do a bunch of espresso over ice and follow it with almond black tea (trust me)

>>4626535
no words

>>4626579
Chocolate has caffeine in it you idiot

>>4626299
>Medium size dark roast, with an added double shot

so starbucks employs whiny hipsters huh? good thing i never go there

>>4626299
Double latte with skim (because it's frothier)

>>4626299
Long black, Double coffee, one sugar.

Grande iced coffe no cream w/ two pumps of vanilla. Thanks

Black iced, please.

>>4627068
the biggest one is Venti isn't it? Only one I know?

>>462702
The amerifats have made a 31oz size cup called a Tentra. Seriously who the fuck needs a 31oz frappuccino?

>>4627072
some celebrity nearly got arrested in my city after the starfucks cashier refused to take his order if he didn't use the Starbucks words. I guess he was having a bad day and didn't take it well.

I forgot who it was but I remember disliking him less after that.

>>4627096
I think I like the employee for sticking to his principles (even if those principles are bought) and not bowing before celebrity. Seriously, they're just people. But I like the celebrity for not dicking around with stupid words.

Black coffee. I don't drink coffee much, so I don't really know about the different kinds.

>>4627104
I think it was more like a minimum wage drone couldn't handle deviating from the script.

>>4627119
either way, most would kowtow to the celebrity

>ordering plain espresso

Enjoy your rank, expired shots.

Coffee frappe with an Irish cream shot and whipped cream

>>4627133
I really don't think that's true based on my few run ins with third rate celebrities in work contexts. usually your first instinct is "if this guy tries to throw his weight around I'm going to use the rulebook to make this as difficult as possible"

>>4627148
I'm assuming since I vaugely remember it, it wasn't a third rate celebrity, take i don't know. The first living actor to come to mind(they should be highly famous).

Most would kowtow, no idea why on my end, but they would

Grande Americano, Or grande blonde with room, depending on the blend

>Triple shot of espresso please?

also fuck starbucks

>Grande Earl Grey tea please

Let me learn you some knowledge bombs:

While it's true that Starbucks has stupid names for their drink sizes, there's a reason for that; when the company first started, they only sold black coffee, and it only came in two sizes, short and tall, with tall obviously being the large. Later on, they introduced a larger size, and not wanting to alienate their established customer base by renaming their sizes, they named it "Grande," which obviously means "large." They did it again later when they introduced the current largest cup size for espresso drinks, the Venti, although at that point they gave up naming things other words for "large" and just went with the number of ounces. There's an even larger size, Trenta (approx. 30 ounces) but you can only get iced coffee or iced tea in that, or if you bitch enough, they'll give you a cup of ice water that size.

Tall soy latte, or tall black coffee, or tall green tea.

>>4626447
>going to starbucks
>2013

>>4626447

seldom. I used to drink coffee a lot. now it is just a cup/ mug a day with a bit of milk cream. maybe some equal. but mostly black. after the ulcers I mostly drink tea. And I judge no one, and like the occasional cup of joe, black, but .. the stuff can be hard on your guts.. I guess it did not help that at the time I was smoking two packs a day and had a high stress job I drink tea, some hot or some cold, no sugar, and that is me, may be a little milk if hot. but I would rather have tea than coffee. and no disrespect to central or south america.. I love the smell of fresh ground or brewed coffee but if you drink two quarts per day, over ten years, it will eat you alive. sorry if I offended anyone

Mocha with no whip cream

Soy Chai tea latte. Lactose intolerant here.

>Tim Hortons

>>4627399
addendum; foot traffic is everything not to mention 5. 00 usd x say 280 = what? do the math. a lot of money and not denigrating baristas or coffee shops. or bars. low pay , long hours and don't need the hassle. Know your market. I wish you well. but it tends to be seasonal . and don't forget the local people because when everyone else goes home, those are the one that advertise for you. and I don't mean that the wrong way, but it can be tough in a "touristy" area. Many locals I know have at least an as bs, ba or masters. and that is our problem , not yours. have a nice day . really.

>>4626299

>Just plain coffee please. Milk, no sugar.

I'm Scandinavian, I know little of your specialty coffees. I'd be intimidated to even try and order something else, but I wouldn't probably like them anyway.

I don't know how all of you can stand Starbucks coffee. Everything is burnt. Bitter as fuck. Only their frappucinos are drinkable.

>>4627140

About all coffees are based on espresso. Espresso plus milk. Espresso plus froth. Espresso plus water. Espresso plus milk plus syrup. Espresso plus a dozen ingredients.

>>4627533
No. You know what's easier than making Chai. Iced Chai. You know what's easier than that. Iced Coffee with nothing in it not even Classic syrup. Even more easier than that Decaff Americano.

I should rephrase. I don't necessarily hate making the drink more than I hate the person who orders it.

>>4626299

Last drink I ordered: Medium iced guatemala caramel macchiato.

>>4627587

As a customer, the easiest looking drink I've seen being made is a filter coffee - was pumped straight out of a flask thing.

>>4627104
But ostracizing someone, anyone, just because they said something like "I want the smallest/biggest one" rather than their confusing, "fancy" words is the most pretentious bullshit I've ever heard. They probably were not well-versed in starbucks shit and just wanted to complete one order and never come back for a year.

>What would you like today?
>Nothing.

Ordering coffee out is one of the most expensive, highest marked up items you can purchase. Period.

You could always make coffee for yourself in the morning or afternoon, at home. If you don't particularly care, just get some bargain-brand coffee and a cheap coffee maker. Or you could invest in a quality machine or press along with a coffee grinder and do it yourself.

But whatever, I go to Starbuck's so rarely that I would probably get a Caramel Macchiato or that seasonal pumpkin shit during fall or that creme brulee winter.

>>4628227
I only get coffee if I'm out for the day buying stuff in the town. I've never bought coffee to drink at home.

>>4628272
I had hoped that this is the usual. More often than not, I only buy coffee if I am out and I have forgotten to make coffee, which is very rare. It's part of my morning routine.

Even then, we can always do cheaper than Starbuck's. A lot of indie coffee shops have better prices and are commensurate in quality depending on what you're buying.

A double Espresso.

>>4627559
>bitter
That's what I love about it! I get the mochas and I hate it when the drink's too sweet. When they do ti just right it tastes like drinking dark cocoa. I love dark chocolate so the more bitter the mocha the better imo.

Alternatively, I also like the vanilla coffee at Einsteins Bagels, since it has a rich and bitter taste.

>>4628280
There is a local coffee shop near my local Starbucks, but it is very pretentious and hipstery (as in French anime wallpaper, retro toys, and the walls decorated with old doors in a refurbished loft hipster). If I want a regular coffee, with nothing fancy added I'll got there. They do a much better plain coffee than chains. They also do a delicious hummus and roasted red pepper toasted sandwich.

If I want coffee to go, or something more extravagant like a soy chai latte, I'll go to Starbucks.

I just order a cappuccino.
I have a friend who is known for drinking a lot of coffee. I ordered a cappuccino in front of him and he said it's the worst/gayest kind of coffee there is. Then I asked him what he usually orders and he said "Hazelnut Latte"

>>4628295
>very pretentious and hipstery

What is every college coffee shop ever? Bleh.

I know what you mean. One of my local coffee shops had a rude wait-staff to boot, which made it particularly infuriating. I am of course talking about Sitwell's in Cincinnati. Their pastries were good though. Their competitor, Roh's Street Cafe, was/is overrated. Starbucks almost wins by default in that case.

Probably the only local hipstery joint that I liked had to be Kofenya, which is a little coffee shop in a town where I went to college, for another degree. They had a delicious white caramel hot honey cider.

I should redact my statement. Finding a good coffee shop almost takes some hunting, despite website reviews and major websites. Also, finding one you can tolerate has to be the MOST difficult thing of all.

>>4628184
I'd just like to say, I'm not a coffee snob, I just want a hot milky drink that isn't like drinking a cloud.

>>4628295
>but it is very pretentious and hipstery

10-12 oz black with a squirt of white sauce.

At times a double espresso.

If I'm relaxing then an americano, nothing added, drink it with this delicious hazelnut sweets/chocolates.

Am not super duper into coffee, think I should get into all the different types of beans etc.

grande apple spice, please. extra whipped cream

then I get a ton of pretzels, brownies, and scones

I just get Caramel Frapp/Capp, the creme brulee one during seasonal times, and that strawberry and cream thing. All in the smallest size.
I rarely ever go to Starbucks, especially since all of their drinks are WAY over sweetened and overpriced.

You went to starbucks, therefore you are more concerned with image and convenience than getting any real value out of your money. I would've said that you have pleb taste, but you didn't order one of the coffee-tinted milk shakes that made them so popular, so I can only assume that you've obliterated your taste buds over years of drinking way too much overly roasted coffee and you just don't care anymore.

Show me another place that sells basically what amounts to a Matcha milkshake and I'll be all over it.

Until then 'Venti Green Tea Frap, fill the dome lid with that leftovers in the pitcher, and keep that fucking whip cream away from my beverage.'

>>4629129

At the risk of sounding like I agree with the guy who thinks Starbucks is for fashionable image conscious people (where do these people live?), there is a chain tea store called Argo that sells a similar product to what you described.

I've had them both and they taste about the same to me, but I'm not really into that kind of drink so you may feel that one is discernibly better.

>>4629147

You'll notice I'm the one who posted the scathing and funny anti-Starbucks Foamy videos above.

I'd love to find another place that sells Matcha milkshakes, but Starbucks is the only place I've ever found that does. It's the only reason I ever grace my prescence in one.

Isn't Argo a UK thing? I'm an Amerifag.

I don't know where they're from. I live in New York.

This x100 I don't care if its Starbucks, McDonalds, Dunkin, Peets, Tully's or even Caribou. You can save a lot of money and have a lot of energy by following this 1 simple rule.

>>4629189

I live in Washington. The HOME of Starbucks.

Luckily, since coffee is so wildly fucking popular hear there is a SHITLOAD of those small independent coffee stands and a lot of competition, so prices are usually reasonable.

Pic related, truly the best coffee place in the Puget sound area.


>>4629194
If you think that's bad, we have 'bikini stands' here. Basically the Hooters take on coffee.

>>4629147
I didn't say fashionable. Fashionable has more connotations. Image, as in the image that starbucks markets.

Ein Venti Caramel Frappuccino, Ein Venti Mocha Frappuccino und einen Venti Doppel Chocolatey Chip Frappuccino. Für Goebbeles, Hess und Me

I always get a skim flat white.

And when I say get, I mean make myself because I work in a little boutique coffee place. Free good coffee all day erry day.

>>4629260
Fuck, meant independent, not boutique.

...I need a coffee.

>>4629263
No! Don't do it. Think of all the money you are throwing away when you buy coffee.

venti dark mocha frappe twice blend no whipped cream

ITT: Humanities students hating their job because it's too hard.

>>4629275
Except I don't have to pay for it. I could pop into the cafe I work at and grab one for free.

>>4629307
Oh please, we're not all bastards that whine about orders. Coffee making is fucking easy and somewhat fun if you get into it. Although I wouldn't know what working for starbucks is like, it's not really a thing in Australia apart from like one or two stores.

>>4629321
I don't understand how working in Starbucks can be too hard that they need to consistently whine about it.

It's one of the highest paying jobs here in a third world country. And the masses are lining up for a frappe, it's a staple. It's like they just don't want to work in the service industry.

And yes, I also do make coffee for me and my friends, quite a lot.

>>4629335

which country is that?

I recently found out that Starbucks has free shakers for your coffee, with cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and chocolate bottles

I use all of them, every time

I don't even know what the fuck is in the vanilla and chocolate ones

>>4629335
What country are you referring to? Certainly not The United States of America.

>Dark coffee with space
>Pour milk in space

>>4626639
YES. There's a McDonalds near me and I always get their coffee because it's one dollar, any size, and has more caffeine than any size coffee at Grandma's diarrhea Starshits

d-d-do you guys sell just black coffee?

w-w-wait h-how much?

no, thank you i'm going to 7-11

>Ordering coffee
Holy fuck you plebs. Make it yourself. If you are going to order it, at least get it from somewhere that roast their beans and makes good quality coffee... not trash shit like Starbucks.

>>4629462

It just sorta dilutes into a smooth-tasting cup of standard coffee.

I prefer drinking coffee that isn't $4 a cup and tastes like swill

Philippines.

Minimum wage here is around 8 thousand pesos a month, Starbucks baristas get up to 20 thousand doing the same work time of 8 hours a day.

Call center agents used to go up that high before, but is now stagnating to 15 thousand a month.

>>4626299
I don't understand how to order from Starbucks
My boyfriend orders for me every time I go.
He always gets me something with caramel.

Also they have really good shortbread cookies

do you even rapacious capitalism?

Sheesh, the threads that'll get a lot of play here.

Double shot on ice with an extra shot (6 total). 3 pumps white mocha, 2 cinnamon dolce, 1 toffee nut, and a splash of half & half. Vigorously shaken in a shaker.

People take this shit way too seriously.

There's your problem sport. Fresh roasted beans and clean water will make 98% of coffee better.

No, that's not a lot. It's more than minimum wage and it might be high for working at a coffee chain, but it's bottom-of-the-barrel for someone who went to college.

For over a year he had been brewing his way along the south side of Seattle as a bean brewer and roastmaster or in any other capacity that brought him caffine. His brown, hardening body lived naturally through the half-fierce, half-lazy work of the bracing days. He knew barristas early, and since they spoiled him he became contemptuous of them, of young Starbucks clerks because they were ignorant, of the others because they were hysterical about latte art and indie rock, which in his overwhelming self-absorbtion he took for granted.

i dont drink coffee too much, but i usually just get a regular iced coffee from dunkin with extra cream extra sugar

His sentence structure is shit perhaps, but the intent is obvious.

He does not get coffee often
Of the times he does, it is usually a regular iced coffee.
