so i started university,
and outside have one starbuck store
and since i have to pass-by there
i thought why not try starbuck.

so yesterday i look through the menu
and the naming was confusing (i tiap tiap minum nescafe je)
so i just go with a dark mocha, tall

so i went to the counter and tell the barista what i want
and he said "you sure ? don't want the large one ?"

and i said "wad ?"

"ya" he said "we got large one,
you want to see the cups ? "

and i said ya

so he showed me one large and tall cup
and because got people lining up,
i just go with the large one

then he ask "want whip cream ?"

ya, confusingly

"chocolate chip ? "

again, ya, confusingly.
and i pay via starbuck card

and waited, it was quick
take a sip, biasa je rase
maybe because i drink too much chocalate drinks ?

BUT i did tried it caffe latte few weeks back,
i was in heaven innocent.gif


anyway, the point is
how many cup size are there ?
cause i think they don't put all of their cup size on the menu

and can i order custom drinks ?
cause i saw a lot of people drinks are different from the menu and the monthly special.

i always think "where do that drinks came from ? blink.gif " lol

please icon_question.gif
i memang a noob in starbuck but i'm a <strike>coffee</strike> kopitiam lover tongue.gif

I've worked as a barista long time ago so my memory abit hazy.. the sizes should be tall, grande, venti. The smallest is the espresso cup. For regular drinks tall is the smallest, venti is the largest.

You usually order by size, drink name and any additional toppings e.g. "grande hot chocolate with whipped cream". Drinks itself are pretty customizable, you can tell them how many pumps you want from the syrup, chips, whipped cream, etc.

notworthy.gif THANK YOU SIR notworthy.gif

but how about the "tall" and "large" size ?
cause he show me 4 different size of cup
form the smallest one -> tall -> ? -> large one blink.gif
there literary lot of "tall" size being show to me that day rclxub.gif

oh it seems they have short as well.. so it should be short > tall > grande > venti
Its weird cause i really dont remember the short cup  biggrin.gif

I searched online and seems the full range of sizes are demi (espresso size) > short > tall > grande > venti > trenta (introduced in 2011).
But i dont think they have trenta here.. i've never seen it.
*
what is espresso shot anyway ? hmm.gif

well, there's these 5,
but what i saw the other day,
there are few different size between short and tall rclxub.gif

The espresso cup is the size of a shot glass, very small. Its not meant to be drunk slowly, the way to drink it is once the barista serves it to you, you're supposed to down it within 10 seconds (that's what they taught me during training) to keep the flavor.

Im pretty sure there are only those sizes mentioned, i dont recall there being any more..
*
if i mix it with my drinks,
will the espresso shot still have it flavour since Its not meant to be drunk slowly? hmm.gif
cause i could drink one venti for half a day or more shocking.gif

Its up to you really, btw some drinks are made using the espresso shot, e.g. the latte. But of course mixing it with another drink will make it lose its intended flavor.

ahh i see
still, i love caffe latte and caramel maichiato (dont know if i spell correctly )
drool.gif
maybe i'll ask for extra shot thumbup.gif
