How do y’all make your Caramel Ribbon Crunch? Noticed the computer and app say two completely different things (reddit.com)

4 DC, the additional 2 pumps are for the ones that go on the bottom/around the cup with the whip

OkFunny9774 [OP] 87 points 1y ago

Omg that’s so smart actually

OkFunny9774 [OP] 86 points 1y ago

Like no one in my store could come up with that

Torirock10 26 points 1y ago

or do u mean we put 2 on the bottom? 😳 i’ve only been doing one

dazedandconfusedhere 46 points 1y ago

1 tall 2 g 2 v

aeb01 9 points 1y ago

good to know

tevansalim 7 points 1y ago

i drizzle 4 pumps around the cup for a venti …

strawberry_sprite_ 4 points 1y ago

too much

tevansalim -1 points 1y ago

ohh dam fr?? 😐

flamingavocados 6 points 1y ago

Varies on drink size

Torirock10 20 points 1y ago

but doesn’t it get normal caramel on top

flamingavocados 30 points 1y ago

Yeah, normal caramel drizzle. This is the dark caramel pump #

Zeldaluvr2007 15 points 1y ago

Has it always had regular caramel on top? I could swear I was told to use the dark caramel (or could’ve just assumed, tbh) but I always used the regular anyway 😂

dazedandconfusedhere 32 points 1y ago

It’s dark caramel on bottom and regular drizzle on top

ofCourseZu-ar 8 points 1y ago

When it first came out it was Dark Caramel on top. They quickly changed it to regular caramel sauce/drizzle on top to avoid charging customers that wanted extra caramel drizzle.

flamingavocados 8 points 1y ago

Yeah it’s just the reg caramel!

coffeegirrrl 3 points 1y ago

Back when it was whatever it was called with the cold brew whip (that also included white mocha) it had dark caramel on top. When it changed to our current iteration with regular whipped cream, it went to regular drizzle on top.

bunnylo 5 points 1y ago

it definitely takes 2 pumps to go around the cup fully so that’s probably where the extra pump goes to

4 Dark Caramel

quickthinxallthots 49 points 1y ago

4 pumps go in the drink, but the app calculates the 2 you add to the bottom as well so 6. probably bc app is intended for customer use so it's how they know how much sugar they're getting.

ThatBichAlex 10 points 1y ago

I feel like that would throw it off though? Because if you add more pumps, will it add that to the ticket as the amount of pumps as what would be in the frap itself?

quickthinxallthots 19 points 1y ago

yeah, say someone says 10 pumps dark caramel, you would subtract two as 2 of them account for the 2 at the bottom of the cup.

i don't ever remember this in the moment though tbh. i admit its a flawed system

ThatBichAlex 11 points 1y ago

Why Starbucks? Why?

saltedpork9 19 points 1y ago

4 DC is correct

keskobalt 14 points 1y ago

Kinda dumb to include the ones on the bottom when customers don’t even know how the drink is made. Like they probably think it’s goin inside too

ayakowantsmemes 7 points 1y ago

Never knew about there being a standard pump on the bottom, I just do enough to visibly cover/ring 😬

OkFunny9774 [OP] 1 points 1y ago

Oh definitely 😂

sero5074 6 points 1y ago

2 full pumps (4 pumps) of DC in the blender and then the 2 pumps in the bottom of the cup

tinydesthique 6 points 1y ago

for a venti, it’s always 4 pumps of dark caramel. why the app lyin like that 🌚

nic626 3 points 1y ago

I honestly make most everything up as I go along. The trick is to read the sticker with an authoritative voice. Alyssa, extra hot, no foam, triple caramel macchiato!

changbinsomnia 3 points 1y ago

4 dc.. sometimes i'll add a fifth if im feelin nice or in a rush and lost count or just pumping rlly fast

whyofreason456 3 points 1y ago

i mix dark caramel and regular so it actually ducking tastes good , starbucks recipes are actually ass

nic626 2 points 1y ago

I am with you friend! Subvert the paradigm!

Gypsystomp 3 points 1y ago

Such a cool community. I think anyone with a pen and value for human connection would love this job.

Broad-Flounder-4971 3 points 1y ago

Frappes are 2,3,4 for tall grande venti and idgaf about the app 🥹

peepeepoopaccount 3 points 1y ago

4 DC

rosegoldhiips 3 points 1y ago

It's supposed to be 4 so it's probably a glitch in the app

BlackberryOpposite31 18 points 1y ago

The app is referring to the 2 pumps that you add to the bottom of the cup.

rosegoldhiips 1 points 1y ago

Oh, that makes sense then

shipssiren 1 points 1y ago

I do it the way the computer says. But my difference is I put crynch in the cup because it looks much prettier with the caramel, and it sucks that it only goes on the top and not the bottom like the mocha cookie crumble does.

Which, also doesnt make sems to me that one gets topping on the bottom and the other drink doesnt, why can't they just be made the same

OkFunny9774 [OP] 1 points 1y ago

I definitely put it on the bottom too 🫠

shipssiren 1 points 1y ago

Yeah! Its so weird that they're .ade differently

[deleted] 1 points 1y ago

rpeters91 1 points 1y ago

I put 4 pumps of DC in the drink, and then I put 4 around the bottom of the cup. Lmao nobody has ever complained and everyone says my Fraps look beautiful :p

flamingavocados 1 points 1y ago

In general when we follow the recipe it keeps customers happy and they’re more than welcome to ask for more themselves. We don’t want customers saying their drink is made incorrectly when it isn’t :)

rpeters91 1 points 1y ago

I actually wasn't taught that it only gets a certain amount of pumps and pretty much everyone does different pumps so that's why I did it that way haha.

cloudscaping 1 points 1y ago

i measure that shit w my heart

g_pvp_3 1 points 1y ago

standard for venti frappe is 4

YorkTownBratty 1 points 1y ago

It definitely is made with four lol

deli_cue 1 points 1y ago

Yeah it’s the additional two pumps at the bottom. I usually do four at the bottom tbh.

prettylilfears 1 points 1y ago

EXCUSE ME??? S I X????

orangeygirly 1 points 1y ago

wait why do yall charge tax

OkFunny9774 [OP] 5 points 1y ago

Do you not tax everything you sell in your store? The only thing that isn’t taxed is when you get a cup of water

orangeygirly 1 points 1y ago

I’m assuming it’s a state by state thing lol, I live in CA and the drinks and food are not taxed at all. Only things that are taxed are merchandise.

OkFunny9774 [OP] 2 points 1y ago

Dang I’m surprised by that with you being in CA, I’m in Chicago

Sad_Artist8253 1 points 1y ago

I live in Florida and they tax a additional 80 cents on all our Frappuccinos

OkFunny9774 [OP] 1 points 1y ago

Lol what do you mean

goldfishmuncher 1 points 1y ago

its 4 dc, aka 2 full pumps, in the drink. one pump on the bottom (on whip) and one pump on top (also on whip)

pinkyogi 0 points 1y ago

4 half pumps = 2 full pumps

[deleted] 0 points 1y ago

[deleted]

Epona_02 1 points 1y ago

if the app was referring to full pumps it would be 2 💀

it’s 4, the app also accounts for pumps at the bottom of the cup

Substantial-Dream406 -3 points 1y ago

i say change the frap roast into cold brew and put 4 pumps of dark caramel and then the caramel toppings also add cookie toppings too
