Getting better on hot bar (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by bubblecumpink
Is there an easier way to remember how many syrups go into a hot or iced drink? I made a small chart to help me remember but I really want to rely more on memory than asking my coworkers for help.

They’re all the exact same (2-3-4-5 pumps starting with short going to venti ) with three exceptions:

Venti iced gets an extra pump AND espresso shot

Caramel macchiatos get one pump less of vanilla

Matcha lattes get one scoop less than the pumps of syrup for the size.

Other than that, they’re all the exact same:

A grande iced mocha and a grande iced shaken espresso and a grande hot caramel latte, grande iced flat white with white mocha, and a grande hot americano with SF vanilla all get the same number of pumps of syrup (for some examples).

I've never heard of the matcha latte rule there? On the app it still shows 1/2/3/4, is it a regional thing?
zedazeni 1 points 1y ago
No, that is the rule. You just typed the matcha scoop pattern. Now adjust for, say, a vanilla or caramel latte and see how many pumps of syrup—a short latte gets 2 pumps syrup, a tall latte gets 3 pumps, Grande gets 4 pumps, and a venti gets 5 pumps of syrup. Matcha gets one scoop less (like you just confirmed).

Same with the shots tho, I’ve been using shots and I was looking on the Starbucks app last night and I realized I’ve been messing up on some drinks :( but thank you tho!!! I’ll definitely use this
zedazeni 2 points 1y ago

There are three shot patterns:

“Primary” (lattes, caramel macchiatos): S/T get 1 shot, G/V get 2 shots

Americano and shaken espresso: 1-2-3-4 (hot)

Flat whites: S/T get 2, G/V get 3 ristretto

Remember, Venti Iced rule apply to all drinks.

I edited for a whoopsie I made

i thought shaken espressos followed the americano shot pattern, 2-3-4?

Happy to help! I actually learnt about this a few months ago because I thought they got the same shots as americanos, and I’m a 274 partner. You’re never too old to stop learning :)

12, 13, 24, 25, 36 shots/syrup pumps (short, tall, grande, hot venti, iced venti)- one less syrup pump for macchiatos so 11, 12, 23, 24, 35 // 1 2 3 4 shots for americanos (both hot venti and iced venti get 4) // 2 3 4 shots for shaken espressos // 1 2 3 4 pumps of syrup for cold brews (tall, grande, venti, trenta) // Another thing that has really helped me was looking at the starbucks app on my 10 or when i wanted to see what a drink got and i wasnt at work to look at the register or recipe cards // good luck!!!!
