This posting is for all Starbucks fans. As I’m not a huge fan of American coffee – see my other posting which coffee I prefer – it’s not so much about me but rather about all of the people on the program craving their special treat:

How to survive as a Starbucksaholic

 

Their Cup sizes:
Short: 8 oz
Tall: 12 oz
Grande: 16 oz
Venti: 20 oz

  • 1 pump of sugar free syrup is 1/3 of an ounce. If you buy a gift card and pay for your coffee with that, the syrup shot is free! (Saves 30 to 50 cents!)
  • Espresso is usually 1 ounce.
  • A Short latte is the way to go with approximately 5.5 ounces of milk
  • A Tall latte generally has 9 ounces of milk the other 3 ounces are foam, espresso and such
  • A Grande latte generally has 11 ounces of milk the other 5 ounces are foam, espresso and syrup if you chose a flavor.
  • A Venti is 14.5 ounces of milk
  • A Grande Cappuccino is made of approximately 7oz of milk
  • A steamer which is just whole milk steamed with sugar free vanilla syrup
  • A latte with whole milk, cold or hot, with sugar free vanilla, caramel, cinnamon dulce or plain. Make sure you tell them sugar free!
  • A  Misto –  It depends what size you order. A misto is half coffee and half steamed milk so a medium is only 8 ozs of milk, add the SF syrup and voila!…. yummy!
  • Starbucks Vanilla Cream: You ask them for their milk-only drink with whole milk, sugar free vanilla and NO whipped cream.  Simply ask them to froth the milk the way they do with lattes.
  • Get a latte…whole milk….sugar free caramel and sugar free mocha…..no whip cream….no foam….and get it hot or cold.   It’s AWESOME!!!
  • An iced VENTI LATTE has 12 oz milk and I add WF Choc Syrup to it and it is wonderful!

Remember to tell them to use whole milk (they switched to 2% a little while ago unless you ask) and sugar free syrup!
