Easy drinks (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Hilasiener
Hello baristas,
What is an easy drink that won’t slow down a rush?
Every time I’m at a Starbucks location in my area, there’s a line of cars in the drive thru and a packed store. I’m don’t frequent Starbucks a lot, and I don’t have a favorite drink, so when I do go, I end up ordering whatever I see on the menu. I feel bad bc I’m pretty sure you guys advertise special drinks that are super complicated and take a lot of time.
I want to order a drink that doesn’t hugely inconvenience you guys. I don’t want to be that guy.
Thanks!

These are all imo of what wouldn't back up a rush :)
- Iced chai, getting other syrups and milks doesn't matter, avoid cold foam if you want to avoid backup
- Iced coffee/cold brew, honestly get whatever you like as long as you're not asking for cold foam it shouldn't slow anyone down
- Refreshers/teas, bonus: if you get the refreshers ask for no inclusions, but some people love them! so no judgement
- Iced lattes are also quick as long as you're not asking for 5 or more shots, same with shaken espressos, americanos (hot or iced), and iced caramel macchiatos because we usually can make another drink while the shots are pulling
- Hot brewed coffees are also quick and easy drinks!
Although these drinks are quick and easy, remember that we are literally getting paid to make whatever your heart desires. As long as you're kind, respectful, and you don't ask for every modification that exists, we'll live🤣

Thanks for the all the info! And interesting, I wouldn’t guess cold foam was something that took a lot of time

it has to get poured into the cf blender and needs to be blended for 15 seconds. it’s just an extra two steps is all :)

Honestly anything on the menu as is really isn’t that bad. It’s the giant orders and the heavily modified ordered that slow things down.
If you want to be a little nicer no layered fraps.
You want to be really nice no fraps or fancy cold foams (anything besides vanilla sweet cream cold foam) and no iced matcha.
But really just get what you want. Be nice. Be okay do you have to wait a minute. Toss a dollar in the top jar when you can.
We complain, but 98% of drinks are really okay. 2% are just awful and posted on here.

anything not overly modified or blended is pretty quick! the quickest drinks are a drip coffee, cold brew or iced coffee. at my store at least, blonde espresso takes far longer to pull than normal espresso, so thats one specific thing. but honestly if you just stay away from blended drinks and crazy modifications you’re not being an inconvenience:)
