15th anniversary tumbler @ rm33 still available.

And actually u can save up to rm3 (including the rm2 like what other forummers said) when use tumbler. Why?

Coz when u have a tumbler, say venti size, always order one size smaller, in this case, tall size. Why? Did u notice when they make the coffee, they can't always make exactly the amount needed and they always make more? If u use their normal cup, the extra will be dumped. But If u use tumbler, they will fill up the "extra" to ur tumbler. It's always almost full then.

Although you get RM2 off by using the tumbler, but the trick is you get less portion of drink with that tumbler.

Try pouring coffee from your tumbler to a normal Starbucks cup, you can see the difference.

One say less, one say more. So it's more or less?

Depends on which size you order I guess.

wow...legendary munkeyflo from CC 
it depends, i think Blofeld is not wrong as well...

in addition to what i've said, i think if u order with cream on top, then yes, it might be like what he said, as if u use tumbler, the cream might take up space in ur tumbler while using cup, the space is actually not eating space in ur cup, but the cover..

i don't like cream anyway, so yes, if u use venti tumbler and order tall, u will "earn" more 

Hahaha. I do lurk serious /k/ as well.

Make sense. There was once I asked for whipped cream on my frap (I love whipped cream) and the barista hand me my tumbler without the lid on with lots of whipped cream on top.

I shall order tall next time. 

Hey guys, just wondering,, so far in my life I've only ordered like three or four frappucinos from Starbucks, and I notice a lot of my friends actually using their Starbucks tumblers and cards when buying their drinks, what are they for, actually? Does it even save you money?    what are the prices for the tumblers sold in their outlets anyway? Just asking for curiosity's sake.

I guess this is applicable to  Frap drinks where the ratio is not important.

For latte/cappuccino, you'll still get 1 shot of espresso, and to fill the gap, the barista will pour in extra milk, which will make the whole drink diluted with milk 

For espresso based drink (lattes for example), the size tells the coffee strength used.
Tall = 1 shot
Grande = 2 shots
Venti = 3 shots

Aik Cheong coffee is different. That's "chemical coffee" with enhanced flavor.
Starbucks gives you espresso shots, which is very different coffee extraction method.
Pure 16g of crushed coffee bean amounting only 8ml of coffee.  Hence, the price difference.

You can't get espresso shots easily unless you have a proper machine home costing probably RM2k onward.

Its for the cool factor. I used to work for starbucks and they earn a pretty steep premium from making people buy their thumblers.
