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.

got discount if use tumbler

RM2 off if you use the tumblers. Good if you are frequent customer at startbucks.

Also convenient to store other hot/cold drinks to bring around from home.

RM2 off your drink when you use their tumblers.
Currently they have a promo for this month where it's 50% off all fraps if you use their tumblers on Mon, Wed and Fri.
I also use their tumblers to put my own drinks when I go out, not only at Starbucks. It's more for their customer loyalty promo, if you don't frequent Starbucks, then no point for you to get a tumbler.

Their tumblers got cheap got expensive one, depends what material. Cheapest I think around RM40 or so. The more expensive ones that can keep hot drinks hot will be around RM80-100. You can just walk into any Starbucks outlet and check out their tumblers' price.

right now starbucks got promo rm33 for 15th anniversary tumbler, donno still available o not...

dont think so they have it. just bought 1 new tumbler and their 2 frap

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.

Tumbler price RM33 and above
RM2 discount when u buy a drink in Starbucks provided u bring the tumbler along
Ongoing promotion until end of June is 50% discount for frappucino on Monday Wednesday Friday

that's why people dont just buy 1 tumbler, they buy many

got. still available. selling fast

got use mah

now buy frappucino at monday, wednesday, friday
50% off with tumbler

Wah everyone here can be a starbucks barista ady. Know so much.

itulah , the price also know

Goes to show a lot of rich kid here. I drink ah cheong coffee only. Less than RM 3.

actually the main reason for the tumbler is to raise environmental awareness one. But being a capitalist world, some goodies have to be thrown in as well.

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.

discount 20% if im not mistaken

they dump the extra oo what a waste

Aik Cheong Kopi O FTW

instant kick

Woah, all richfag here. Most expensive beverage I've ever drink in coffee category is Nescafe.

starbucks not cheap leh...but i get Free Starbuck tumbler, nvr use it before..LOL

Time to dust off that free Starbucks tumbler

Starbucks tumbler so mahal mang... nvm go there drink Venti enough..

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.

yup.....rule of thumb is to order a size down from ur tumbler
even if u order 10 tall drinks, u still get grande size for the free drink if u r using starbucks card
there are times that even there's still space in my tumbler and there's still leftover, the barista throw it away as well
but for me about once in ten la

to answer each and every of your question:
1. to store drinks, coffee purchased from starbucks
2. yes. RM2
3. Depends on size, type, material it usually range from RM40-RM130

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

ya....i only drink frapp
occasionally only drink hot item from starbucks

the trick is to get a Grandè size tumbler and order a Tall drink, or a Vènti size tumbler and order Grandè/Tall drink, coz they don't throw away the excess. Every regulars should know that.

drinking Starbucks is rich ? I drank an average of 2 to 3 cups/week and I don't feel any richer ?

i didn't say drinking starbucks will make u rich(er). u are rich(er) to begin with.

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.

how to buy the rm33 ?
do they have condition to buy at the price of rm33 ?

Got money Nescafe. No money, Kapal Api.

Heard you are dating with rich kid guy now.congratz

Lucky my toungue cannot feel the difference between drinking starbucks or nescafe instant powder drink. I saved lots of money

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

please, the 2 ringgit discount is worth it for my daily americano needs, or not

p.s. it retains heat/cold very well, better than my other flasks, but tbh the real reason you'll be paying for it is the 2 ringgit discount

I dont know what "other" flask you use.

If you think starbucks are good, get the brand zojirushi.

You must have alot of money if you can spend to drink starbucks everyday. I would rather make my my own coffee in the morning and put it in my thermos to bring to work. Luckily my temp office has a pretty decent coffee machine, just that i have to add in the coffee beans myself.

thanks for the recommendation, where can I get my hands on it tho?

I don't have a lot of money, what I have is caffeine addiction lol, I do make a nice pot of coffee via my french press every morning prior to work but it's just enough for myself to drink on the spot as I have a lot of coffee lovers living under the same roof and they're too lazy to make it themselves (heck they're paying for the beans so why not). I'm getting a new job on August tho, hopefully they have good coffee making facilities

Besides with the Starbucks flask, you're paying about 2 Ringgit per shot of espresso via Americano which imo isn't too bad.

Im not so sure about malaysia, i would guess isetan may sell or upper class department stores.

I bought mine in the states from amazon

http://www.amazon.com/Zojirushi-SM-KHE48AG...words=zojirushi

I also have the starbucks thermos which is made the company "thermos" which is good in its own right, but zojirushi is really the best you can get for the money.

The tumbler is just a reason to make you feel better to spend money.
Because you know there is discount, but in the end you still spend more to buy while it is not necessary.

Does starbucks still practice issuing the discount on starbucks tumblers only?

Overseas, especially in america and japan, i could use any tumbler and get a discount for it.

In malaysia, they will only issue you the discount if you use their own starbucks tumblers. If i had to guess, this wasnt a starbucks decision but berjaya groups greedy initiative to "promote" people to buy their tumblers.

and you know why 7-11 is selling so expensive.

rm33 / 2 = you need to use at least 16 times to get the things worth...., need wash somemore.....

7-11 is selling you the "convenience", so of course its gonna be abit more expensive.

The problem is there is basically a monopoly of convenience store in malaysia.

Come to japan and the prices are very competitive since there are alot of stores here like 7-11, lawson, family mart, mini-stop etc

I dont understand whats the problem with washing your own thumbler. Its not like your physically handicapped.

Plus, i laugh when regular ask the store to keep their personal tumblers on premise so that they dont need to bring their tumblers with them, they just come to the same store and get it from storage, plus they expect the staff to clean them after use, which we hardly do or just give it a quick rinse and thats it.

If you smelled the inside of a regular customers tumbler who has starbucks store it on premise, you would take it back and clean it yourself since the smell is disgusting.

lol... got ppl do tat ? actually i dun really go often, i poorfag, couldt affort as well.

for d tumbler stuff, i dun really fond on it. but i really dun like wash tumbler, my hand cant go in and i feel really dirty when using it for a long time.

i just feel not tat worth using that tumble for only rm2.

maybe im not a coffee lover.

i like d paper cup very much.

Get a bottle brush to clean the inside.

I use tumblers when travelling or on the plane.

huh... ur coffee not over 200ml ? how can u bring your tumbler go in....

I bring onboard an empty tumbler. Before disembarking, i ask the stewards to top up my tumbler with hot coffee or tea.

I have done this not only with tumblers but stainless steel water bottle as well.

you wish.

go playstore download starbucks apps la.... still wanna action

eeeii hi-5 for previously barista now i can't longer work for sb as im banned to work there forever hahahaha

Why kena ban? You spit in customers coffee?

You songlap money is it? Malaysia starbucks employee's have this problem.

why would i

nope , no songlap , that is the most stupid thing to do

Since you kena banned forever, songlap is one of the cases where they will ban you.

I know a few fellas who did that shit, they just simply got another job at another coffee establishment.

ekceli i'm stoopid enough to share up coming promotion at lowyat thus kantoi so kena banned the lowyat warrior ftw !
starbucks pay peanut eventho their company is good to work at,at least for me , but nah if i can't work there anymore i'll just own it one day
thats keep me going to study harder and search for my own money
