Starbucks Hacking: DIY Latte, Short Cappuccinos, Free Flavored Iced Coffee

 

Three easy Starbucks Hacks...

Short Cappuccino: we learned this one from Slate Magazine (BTW, that image above is their property...oops). A stronger, cheaper tasting cappuccino than the rest, WhoreBucks aficionados know about the Short Cappuccino. Same as a regular cappuccino, just...well...stronger. Note from Victoria: some Starbucks don't have it on their keycode, and no keycode means no short cappuccino. Target Starbucks had them, but the ones at Barnes and Noble (which aren't actually Starbucks) don't.

DIY Latte: A latte is a cappuccino with steamed milk...simple as that. But all the steaming does is keep the milk hot. It barely changes the texture at all. So order yourself a Short Cappuccino and ask for it in a Grande cup (so it wont spill out while you drink it.) Run over to the milk/sugar station and add some Half and Half. Now you have a latte!

Free Flavored Iced Latte: same technique as the DIY Latte. Only you ask for a Venti cup. Also, ask for a water cup with ice because there isn't any in the water pitcher (there never is). While the coffee is still hot, add tons of sugar and one of the flavored powders they always have (cinnamon, vanilla, cocoa). Mix well, then top off with milk. Then take the ice from the water cup and pour it into the drink.

Make sure they don't catch you doing it, or they'll make you order one of those terrible biscotti they always have on the counter.
