How to Order Coffee at Starbucks
Published by admin on Tagged How To Do Most Anything barista coffee starbucksIntimidated by the barista? Yes, they’re talking another language at Starbucks®. Here’s how to order what you want without feeling like a drooling moron.
Breve – (Brev-ay) a latte with heavy whipping cream instead of milk
Dry – more foam than milk on top of your coffee (helps keep it warm)
Non-fat - lowfat or skim milk in place of whole milk. Variant forms: skinny, skim
Latte (Lah-tay) – coffee with milk
With room – space left in the cup for you to add milk or cream
With whip – decadent whipped cream on top of your coffee or frap
Drip – regular American coffee
Short – an 8 ounce cup (smaller than the “tall”)
Double – adds another one ounce shot of espresso to your drink
Barista – (SILL - ee)
Parsing hints: Size comes first, then the shot amount, followed by fat content/milk preference. For example, “Oh, Ms. Barista, might I have a grande double breve latte with whip, please?”
Sizes: Tall (12 oz), Grande (Gran-day, 16 oz), Venti (Vent – ee, 20 oz)
