That Coffee Roasters Presents: The Best Starbucks Hacks Ever

Order a latte with chai syrup instead of a dirty chai. It results in the same thing without the cost of added espresso shots to a chai latte
If you have a sore throat or feel like you’re gonna get a cold, the “cough drop” is a drink almost all baristas will recognize, and it's made with emperors cloud, jade citrus mint, steamed lemonade instead of water, and a pack of honey added, perfect for winter
Having iced drinks shaken can make all the difference, try it with an iced green tea latte, request that your drink is shaken because baristas won't always do it if you don't ask
If you aren't sure of a brew or drink, ask for a sample. If the store isn't full, they will be happy to let you try something before buying
You can get yourself a low-cost “iced latte” if you order a triple espresso over ice in a Venti cup. Then go over to the condiment area to fill up your cup with milk
If you use your own cup, you get ten cents off, no matter the drink size
Share a French Press. Are you having a coffee meeting? Order a French Press, it costs half the price of the equivalent single coffees. Plus it provides a more communal ritual
For the lowest-cost-ever latte, order an iced Americano with no water, then add the milk yourself from the communal pitcher
Iced teas are double-strength in the pitcher and then watered down for serving. Ask for a “no water” for a much stronger flavor
Order a short cappuccino, it's the closest they come to making a regular double-shot cappuccino that you'd get at a top-tier coffee shop. Also, it's quite cheaper
If you don’t tolerate overheated brews, order your drink at “kids” temperature. They will serve you a drink at 135 degrees that’s way easier to drink and get the full flavor of the coffee
Chai lattes (hot brews) are made with hot water to even out the flavor. If you enjoy cinnamon/chai flavors, then we recommend asking for a chai latte with no water. For even better flavor, ask for Soy
If they run out of Pumpkin Spice Latte at the end of the season and you really crave it, ask for one pump each of chai and white chocolate mocha
