Starbucks Employees Don’t Want You To Know About The ‘No Ice’ Hack
BY Claire Redden
If your iced coffee from Starbucks seems more ice than drink, there’s no need to have a watered-down disappointment in your hands once the ice melts.
Starbucks employees don't want you to know that the only way is to go without ice, but you may wonder how your drink will still be cold without ice in your cup.
Some customers have asked for their drinks shaken with ice and strained, just like a cocktail. However, Starbucks employees on Reddit call the hack a "pain in their apron."
The real "no ice" hack at Starbucks is much simpler, and employees back it: Ask for no ice in your drink. Most ingredients, like concentrates and milk, are chilled already.
This will work best with drinks like Cold Brew or Iced Chais, or any other drink that doesn't contain espresso because that will impact the temperature of your de-iced drinks.
Of course, there's a way to get around that, and again, it's probably much simpler than you're thinking. Order the ice on the side if you want a cold Iced Latte without the ice.
