I do light ice. The standard for the cold foam cold brews is still to fill cold brew to the third line, then ice, then foam, so that’s what I follow for other drinks with added foam!

I do light ice because a) Starbucks is expensive and b) it isn’t coming out my check

Also I’m pretty sure the standard is to do light ice on beverages with cold foam of any kind.

I just do a scoop down of ice bc it leaves room that the drink goes up to the top notches of the cup then I put the foam. Always gives me the correct amount of room for it

The recipe for cold brews with cold foam says to put cold brew to the 3rd line, ice with room for cold foam. I do the same steps for any other drink with cold foam. I measure the space by using the grooves on the cups, and those work out perfectly for me.

At the end of the day though, this is a question for your shifts or SM. They should be making sure that your store produces consistent products.

I’m the problem. If I’m paying close enough attention I give less ice, coffee/cold brew, and milk (if requested). However if I’m not paying attention at all I just give less ice so I can still fit the foam. Because sometimes the customer is right there watching me dump their drink and put more ice in which they won’t like. Lol

I do less ice and more foam. They are paying a 1.25 for the foam. Someone told me at work the foam used to be made with only non fat milk and vanilla. So of course I tried it and hands down it foams so much better and tastes about the same.

i do a mix of a little less milk/cold brew/ice coffee and a little less ice

You fill to the second line instead of the third like you do for macchiato’s

Light ice

Ok I have a follow up question. When you go to blend the foam do you press 3 (wet cold foam) or 4 (dry cold foam) every coworker does it differently 😭

You give the same amount of drink you normally would and fill the ice up so that you leave 1” for the foam.

Light ice, but not too little since the foam standard is about 1" of foam. One of my pet peeves is seeing baristas make them with like 3" of foam as standard.
