Does it bother you when Starbucks barista pure hot coffee into plastic cup?
I love ice latte at Starbucks. However, I often noticed that many barista (is that what you call them?) add pipping hot coffee into plastic cup that was meant for ice beverages. Wouldn’t it make much more sense to add the milk first before the hot expresso? I mean these plastics are not meant to be used with hot liquid.
Is there anything we can do about this?
Katherin… you do know your Starbucks coffee…
Well, I always order Ice Latte. It REALLY bothers me that hot expresso is added to the cup before anything else. I do not get syrups in my coffee. So the expresso is directly pured into the plastic cup meant for ice beverages.
Not sure if Starbucks realizes that plastic and hot bererage do not go together. That’s how people get cancer. Some plastic ontainers are not meant to be microwaved.
Anway, thanks for answering my question.
I don’t understand your question. At Starbucks, hot coffee goes into a hot cup. Hot espresso drinks go into a hot cup or a travel mug (which can be ceramic or plastic). Iced drinks go into the cold cups. If a barista is putting hot coffee into a cold cup, he or she needs to be retrained on how to serve a drink.
Now, if you are talking about the barista pouring the hot espresso into the cold cup in order to make an iced drink, the cold milk and ice are added to the espresso long before the espresso would have a chance to melt the cup. Often times, there is syrup at the bottom of the cup, so the espresso isn’t hitting the bottom of the cold cup. Starbucks recipes (with the exception of a few drinks) call for adding the espresso shots before the milk, so that is how baristas make them. Although, it isn’t unheard of for a barista to pour a little bit of milk into the cup first, but they don’t normally do that. My
If you want to do something about it, then you are going to have to go pretty far up the chain of command to change something that Starbucks has been doing for years. If it ain’t broke, then Howie ain’t fixin’ it.
If you feel that strongly about it, then when you order your drink at the register, tell the register barista that you would like the espresso to be added after the milk. I’m sure that they will be more than happy to make your “customized” drink.
