Coffee from Starbucks (and most coffee chains) suck. They tend to take lower-quality beans from coffee farms that often sell different grades at different prices... This is why their drinks are so acidic and sharp on your tongue when compared to speciality/independent coffee. Size versus volume (versus ice) is a bit tricky. Larger sizes take additional espresso shots, so while the ml volume fluctuates (and with/without ice) you're still getting a fixed increase in mg of caffeine. Also I know this entire video was just for fun, but it had to be said 😂

14:14 exactly why they dont advertise it as 30 oz of coffee - the law is whenever the advertising language is unclear, "whatever interpretation is most favorable to the customer" becomes the ruling. Starbucks gets away with this by, as you say, "putting the menu in three different languages" so they can say, "Oh, trenta is just the product name." THEY ALSO have an additional language device they use on their menus - purposefully misnaming coffee drinks. The intention is when you go to another coffee shop and order "drink name," they will give you the correct preparation of the item but since you are habituated to Starbucks Language, what you receive is in your mind the "wrong drink." So you dont go back to that other coffee shop..... absolutely despicable!

I work at a Starbucks, and I can confirm this to be true. our small is 12 oz, medium is 16, and large is 20 (hot drinks) or 24 (iced drinks), and X-large is 32 (iced drink only). We typically fill the drink up to the third black line and then we fill the rest with ice. I recommend you order light ice or no ice if possible (though some places will charge extra which is BS). When you order a drink of any size at Starbucks, you're essentially paying for half (if not less) the cup size you order P.S. at work I was told apparently that if a customer orders light or no ice we cannot fill the rest of the cup with the drink (I ignore that and give customers the drinks they paid for)

I'm a Starbucks barista in the US. When we make drinks we are supposed to fill the cups up to the top BLACK line. Not over, not under, but exactly to that line. And then fill the cup up with ice. That's the "standard" for nearly all iced drinks (exception is for things like Frappuccinos which have a different "recipe"). We are given measuring ice scoops for each size. So you use a tall (small) ice scoop to fill a tall drink. If you poured the right amount of liquid it won't over flow! :) So if you ever buy a drink look at where the top black line is and THAT'S how much you're actually getting with a normal amount of ice. There's no charge for light ice/no ice, and at my location we are told to fill to the top. Basically the advertisements are "cup size X fits Y ounces of drinks", what they don't say is "Y = drink + ice" so people will feel like they're getting ripped off!

I was just about to say all of this. Also since iced is in the name of the drink, its recipe was formulated with ice in mind. With that being said, most of the stores I’ve worked at essentially brew it, dilute it (ice+water), then let it sit till it runs out. Without the ice you’d probably get room temperature coffee, but you would get more product. Cold brew on the other hand is a different story though.

As a Starbucks barista, we fill the liquid content to the top line of the cup and add ice until the cup is full. If you get light ice, we put more coffee but less ice so your cup is still full, and the opposite for extra ice. If you want to save the most money, order your drink with no ice and a side cup of ice (preferably a larger size than the no ice drink). Congratulations, you saved money Edit: That’s at least how my store works. Some stores won’t fill the cup all the way if you ask for no ice.

I have worked at Starbucks for about 3 years now and yes, it is 100% a scam. Everything is belligerently expensive, and I will honestly use any excuse to give people their drinks for free. You can easily make a much better version of essentially everything we have for much cheaper at home, as SB brewed coffee isn't very good to begin with. Whether the official policy is enforced depends entirely on the individual store. At my store we have been told to never say no to anyone for any reason, regardless of the customer's aggression and franchise policy. Edit: Originally we were told to do things like not fill the cup all the way if someone asked for no ice, but once our customer connection scores went down, we were told to abandon policy entirely :)

just to note, the drink without ice should come up to the top line that is on the side of the cup, then ice is scooped in which will bring the liquid to the top. if you ask for less ice you get more drink. There are also 3 different sized scoops, a tall, grande, and venti scoop. Starbucks wants everything to be consistent as possible hence the lines on the cups, and the different sized scoops. The different sized drinks also get different amounts of pumps of syrups and different amount of espresso shots. For a hot Latte for example, syrups pumps for Short-2 Tall-3 Grande-4 Venti-5. Espresso shots go, Short and Talls get 1, Grande and Venti get 2. If it was a cold latte the amount of syrups and shots are the same apart from venti ice which gets an extra of each. If you ask for less ice, your drink would still be filled to the top but the amount of espresso and syrup would remain the same but the amount of milk would increase.

Their acting as if ice behaves differently for star bucks only. If I go to McDonalds and order a drink with Ice its the same exact thing, it decreases the amount of actual drink equal to the volume of ice. Also I like how no one there considered that the Ice melting also water downs your drink, throwing off the actual true coffee to ice ratio they were doing as that coffee had extra water in it. If they wanted to seriously do this they should've did it right out the drive through one at a time. And not have ordered it all at once where the first few drinks made would be considerably more water down than the last, and the drive to their studio albeit even if its a 5 minute drive would've mean even more of that ice already melted into the coffee.

As a barista at Starbucks, we pretty much follow a guideline, the top line of the cup is where you stop filling up (if iced drinks) and then fill it with ice, other ice drinks that use a shaker then we have sections of the shaker of how much you should put (ie juice, lemonade, base, sections or if just milk all the way to that section that makes up juice, lemonade and base all together) and then fill the shaker with ice with the ice section If it’s hot drinks that’s not brewed coffee we just fill it the milk and foam (unless they asked for no foam) and fill the entire cup, we also have little indicators on the pitchers that you should fill this amount of milk depending on the size so at most you just get like 20% foam and the rest milk, espresso and any other add on that drink comes with

So this is accurate on drinks like Iced Coffee or Cold Brew (ones that are only one mixed ingredient). However, usually the dilution is set with the ice in mind for the ideal strength, so no ice would be stronger than ideal. On top of this, you can also get free refills on iced coffee/hot coffee with the app so no need to modify it in the first place. This won't work for milk and espresso drinks since no ice will result in more milk to espresso (weak milky drink)

Was looking for this comment. The whole idea with the way the recipe works (certain amount of ice+ certain amount of coffee liquid) is so that if you get two cups of different sizes (let's say tall and grande), and you take a sip out of one cup and then a sip from the other cup, they would taste exactly the same, it's just a matter of how much of a drink you want. And it's easy to lose sight in these type of "lab experiments" that ice IS WATER. So whether you get a cup of coffee without any ice or a cup of coffee with ice, you still get the same amount of "liquid" (meaning, water), so the only thing different between the two cups is how much coffee you're getting, which is probably less than $0.01 in value - and the store DOES let you ask for no ice if you want, meaning, you're more than welcome to request a "stronger" drink (no ice meaning more coffee), that is certainly something Starbucks is letting you do, and if you're thinking that you got more "bang for your buck", it really depends on how you define what bang is. Did you get less than $0.01 value? That's really not that great a deal. Most Americans donate their extra cents to reduce the clutter in their pocket anyway, that tells you how little a cent is worth to most consumers. Is it getting a stronger coffee either because you're trying to get a higher buzz or prefer the taste of the cup better? That's great, go for it, Starbucks lets you do that, the same way that you can ask for more pickles on you burger at McDonald's and they don't charge you for that. At the end of the day, with ice or without ice - you're getting the same amount of water, a possibility different flavor due to slightly more coffee extract, and hardly any difference in cost to the store. It all comes down to you preference in flavor, there's really no scam here any way you try to look at it.

They all use similar amounts of espresso, it's the milk/water that changes so the bigger ones are just less espresso on the ratio. They're not likely to use more espresso because they want to keep them at certain caffeine levels for the default ones and if they use coffee instead, it's going to result in a similar mixture as the espresso ones

One thing I can absolutely confirm is that all the harsh taste is masked by syrups. It tasted good, until one day I ordered something and forgot to add Vanilla syrup. I didn’t like the drink and they decided to remake my drink as per policy. It tasted better, but only because the syrup. To confirm my assumption, I outright bought the official vanilla syrup from my local Starbucks and made a latte at home with my Rancillio and purposefully made a bad shot by gridding too fine. It surprisingly still tasted decent after adding their Vanilla. Btw, if anyone’s curious, a bottle of their syrup with pump is ~$13 and at least for me, a bottle lasted me half a year. Definitely buy the syrup if you like Starbucks, because with it, you can’t really taste the difference between home made and store bought.

For those wondering (starbies supervisor here), we are able to sell our vanilla, caramel, and I believe the classic (standard sugar syrup) syrups. They have barcodes on them that the barista/employee at the register can scan to bring up the item and it's price. Just ask the employee at the register that you'd like to purchase one and they will retrieve the bottle for you. We cannot sell any syrups/sauces that do not have a barcode. Not all employees know that/realize that since it isn't taught during training, so if your person at the register doesn't know, just tell them the bottle has a barcode on it they can scan. However, they can deny selling them to you if they have low stock and can't afford to sell the bottle instead of using it to make product ie: whip creams, sweet creams, etc, which all require vanilla syrup and a lot of it. Also you can request a pump as well when you purchase the syrup, however they won't always have extra to be able to give, but always feel free to ask and see if they do. Hope this helps!

As someone who worked there, the iced coffee is brewed stronger to account for the watering down of the ice. It is less liquid volume, but generally the same intensity of flavor once mixed. And yes, bigger cups get more liquid. Basically the amount of liquid in the next size up + ice could fill the last size down without any ice. So a grande no ice is basically the same amount as a venti with ice. This is not the same for trenta, since it isn't so much of a "scale up" as it is just an extra large venti. edit - Also, the iced cups are slightly larger than the hot cups to allow for ice to be added.

This just reminds me of working at a bar, and people would ask for stuff like "Whisky and coke, no ice" Expecting to get more Whisky, instead of more coke. Or get mad that their drink doesn't taste very strong

I just avoid this problem altogether by ordering my drinks without ice no matter where I go, except for in actual restaurants because then it doesn’t really matter. The drinks I get are still nice and cold because the water used to make the drink is cold already, it just won’t stay as cold for as long as it would if you got it with ice. I originally started doing it just because I hate watered down drinks and I could almost never finish a drink before the ice melted too much and made it taste gross. If you really wanna make the most out of it and you need ice for your drink, then order your drink without ice and then also ask for a cup of ice. That said, idk how this would work with a place like starbucks because I don’t ever go there.

Hi, barista here at the one across from UT. The sizes are designed to sell the largest, because of the minimal price difference. The ice is measured per size, and we measure the drink amount as well. The ice is to keep it cold (obviously) but to also melt and add to the drink over time, I guess. You're paying for the amount of drink. Light ice = less time to be cold but more drink.

I went to a boba shop and ordered a large without ice, and watched them fill a small cup with the tea, and then dump ice in the large cup, and then pour the small cup of tea into the large cup with ice. On top of that, they were slow, so I didn't want to hold up the line of customers to fix the injustice

Charlie discovers ice in a cup means less drink in that cup. Truly groundbreaking content.

I think in terms of Americanos you only ever get 3-4 shots of coffee in it anyway, the rest is just water. So it really doesn't matter what ice level you ask for, the barista would just fill the rest of the cup with water and/or ice.

While this is true, you'd still end up getting less sips if you don't wait for the ice to dissolve If you look at that amout of ice in the last coffee.. that's a lot of sips

They have recently started charging extra when you ask for light or no ice. After the Tik Tok trend caught on and everyone started doing it they got more greedy. Some employees won't charge you but its a new thing they have started doing.

Having worked at Panera I can promise you that when you order a drink we gave you more ice based on the size of the cup. Ask for no or light ice wherever you go.

I used to work for the siren in high school. The thing about the coffee is it's about as good as mass produced coffee can be. There are stores that exist called "Reserves" where they sell specialty small lot coffees that are worth the dollar. But they definitely overprice for how much they produce

The standard build for an iced coffee is to fill the cup with coffee to the top line (the lines are on the cup itself, take a look!) and then fill the rest with ice, to the ridges on the inside of the cup. About half of the cup is just ice. "Light ice" is roughly half that, or, we used the size down's ice scoop. (A venti with light ice will get a grande scoop of ice, etc.) But yeah, all a fucking scam. Just get light or no ice and divide that shit up yourself with your own ice. Or better yet, make your own at home. Note: A Venti ICED cup is 24oz and the Venti HOT is 20oz. So it's even worse than ya'll thought.

I for one am shocked to learn that ice is just cold water. Actually though they should make frozen coffee ice cubes so you're only losing a tiny bit of volume due to expansion of volume from freezing.
