Aside from milk, syrup and espresso, there are many other ways to put final touches on a Starbucks coffee, placing your personal stamp on a drink.
Dry (or foamy): A dry Cappuccino is foamy but with little steamed milk. The espresso shoots through the foam
and intensifies flavor.
Wet (or flat): A wet
Cappuccino has more milk than foam. The result is a milky espresso taste, more
like that of a Latte.
Whipped cream (or not): Add a touch of cloud to your coffee heaven for a
little fun! Or, if your drink usually comes with whipped cream, you have the option to hold it off.
Light: Anytime you want less of
something, say "light" - light whip, light syrup, light foam, light ice – you name it.
Sugar substitute: Your Starbucks barista will be happy
to add sweeteners if you desire.
Extra hot: Milk is steamed to
around 160⁰F (70⁰C), but if you want it a bit hotter than that, let
them know!
Not a fan of hot coffee? Frappuccino® blended
beverages have a number of options just as regular Lattes do.
Frappuccino® Light: It’s the same
as regular Frappuccino® but with 60% less fat and 40% less calories.
Add syrup: Create your
own treat! For example, hazelnut syrup in a Mocha Frappuccino® blended
coffee makes a delicious nut-chocolate combination.
Affogato style: Try a Frappuccino®
blended beverage with mocha or caramel drizzle and a shot of espresso on top.
It gives the drink a more pronounced coffee flavor – and makes it fun to watch
as the espresso drifts down.
Add Coffee Jelly: Compliment your
favorite drink with yummy pieces of Coffee Jelly.
Blended whip (blogger added): Love whipped cream but don't like it sitting on top? Then have it mixed! When you don't see it, the lesser your guilt. *wink* *wink*
Twice blended (blogger added): Say goodbye to the ice bits. Ask the barista to blend your drink twice for a smoother Frappuccino®.
Now you're ready to order! Learn the "barista-speak" HERE.
