shorty327 [OP] 54 points 3y ago
Lol I just tried it !! Nice I’m so excited to show everyone else lol
ritadere 6 points 3y ago
Thank god! I’ll try it ty
romansapprentice 6 points 3y ago
Wouldn't it be dangerous to shoot a plastic cup with 190F steam? Also, that possible cross contamination? 😬
Noxiel 3 points 3y ago
It shouldn’t be if you’re careful, and cross contamination should be minimized anyhow with the cleaning routines
KatAlex186 2 points 3y ago
Oh, I spray the bottom of the cup 🤷♀️
chuhai-drinker 2 points 3y ago
I feel like steaming the plastic also releases toxic gasses too lmao
nkarriem 3 points 3y ago
Really?! Never knew!
throwawayaccountforn 0 points 3y ago
same goes for the older stickers that can’t come off the cups and you don’t wanna ruin them

What is going on that this is so widespread :( what happened to quality control
Sexy_Seagull 38 points 3y ago
Chinese cup plant probably is in quarantine
I_love_you_drugs 9 points 3y ago
Woah I didn’t even think of that!!
JustForBrowsing 7 points 3y ago
I've seen these for months now
Sexy_Seagull 5 points 3y ago
Did you notice before December? Genuine question. Not saying I know anything special. I don’t even work at Starbucks or know where they get their cups.
JustForBrowsing 1 points 3y ago
I can't say for sure
rainydayzzzzzzzzz 18 points 3y ago
Omg this is a lifesaver I have a full sleeve like this
agentdouble1s 11 points 3y ago
Reminds me of a few summers ago when those grande dome lids were warped. Case after case. Spilled frap after spilled frap 😭
ianbz 11 points 3y ago
Yep it’s like every other cup I pull. I just push it in lol
xkcismex 11 points 3y ago
yeah same here, glad i saw the steam tip! thanks friends!
piercinginhalation 10 points 3y ago
YEP. had one yesterday i couldn’t pop back into shape, will try the steam wand next time (though i have a feeling my SM might cite it as violating health code).
sandycat555 14 points 3y ago
Point the wand at the outside bottom of the cup. The cup sits on the counter where the steam and milk lands anyway.
xEman26x 3 points 3y ago
Potential cross continuation due to possibly streaming old milk into cups. I wouldn’t allow it personally
bootrick 12 points 3y ago
Steam the OUTSIDE of the cups
ritadere 8 points 3y ago

ska_barista 5 points 3y ago

PlantKrys 4 points 3y ago
I strangely like the shape of these... do the lids fit like usual? 👀
kiervince 1 points 3y ago
thats the bottom so they dont sit on the counter and will fall over.
PlantKrys 1 points 3y ago
Ooh hahah from pic angle, it looks like a plastic mason jar. Tubular plastic cup.
nate_smithws 4 points 3y ago
