How do I order this drink? (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by AlphaX1992
I like an iced black coffee or americano, no milk in it. BUT almond milk cold foam on top. No sugar pumps and none of that BS in it. I like a black coffee with the cold foam that will slowly melt into the coffee.

I seem to have a hard time with baristas in getting this right. Is there an accurate way to order that is preferred by baristas?

(Size) iced americano, no classic & almond milk cold foam. There isn’t an almond milk cold foam button so they would probably need to press the “ask me button” and list it as a normal cold foam adder.

And you wouldn't need to say no classic for an Americano

sorry i have nothing of importance to add but almond milk cold foam is a thing?? as in dairy free cold foam?

If you ask they’ll do it but the cold foam doesn’t come out right lol, it doesn’t get as fluffy as it should

But if you do ask me there will be no upcharge. Normally there wouldn’t be an upcharge for a splash of liquid almond milk in an americano but when we’re making foam there should be an upcharge for additional labor

not sure about other areas/countries, but every store I've been to/worked at in the NorthEast has discontinued the non-dairy cold foams. happened months ago. it's such a shame cause they were so good, but it'll be rare to find locations that will do it, especially with having so many new baristas everywhere, they may not even know how to respond/plug it in (been there, done that plenty of times... still do too). I know that when it's slow and someone comes in who is polite/easy-going, some of my baristas will still make it since it can be done and some still know the recipes/standards. just ask and see what can be done! :)

I would key in the iced americano with vanilla sweet cream cold foam sub almond milk no vanilla syrup so that OP can enjoy that beverage with an appropriate $1 upcharge for the foam. Edit: I may have to try one of these myself, I’m curious now. Unsweetened coffee is my preference
