  • Starbucks recently began using nugget ice in its drinks. It gives the appearance of more ice equaling less drink, but is that really the case. I decided to find out for myself.

      That's kinda the whole point of an espresso drink, isn't it? Like, you can just buy the espresso from them and it's a little cup of strong coffee. Most of what Starbucks offers is water and other sides for that little cupful, the Americano is literally one espresso shot and the amount of water that you desire.

    Hey Vlad! Can you try using hot coffee with the ice to simulate what is basically a standard starbucks iced coffee drink? And also maybe compare the melting rate by simply leaving them out for much longer than 30 mins in the water. Basically try to simulate people just chilling and leaving their drinks be as they go about their work.

      @@lancelindlelee7256 The difference in temperature would still cause the ice to melt even when other ingredients are cold. Ice is colder than the added ingredients and it would still cause the overall drink to be colder at the expense of the ice. Hence why you could get colder drinks by adding ice to it instead of just putting it in the fridge.

      ​@@sasukeuchiha998lets do the fuckin math allright. in a tall plastic cup, 100gram of ice cubes equal to 100ml of regular water when melted. then i would add 20ml of sweetener (sugar or flavored syrup like vanilla, hazelnut, caramel) more than that will ruin the taste. espresso shot should be 30ml. and the whole liquid should be 200ml in total so you add 150ml of fresh milk. total weight should be 300 gram. maybe few more for the plastic cup.

      Speaking as someone who works there, kinda hard to have the drink be chilled when there's nothing inside of it to chill it.
      The baristas usually have the milk sitting on the counter until it runs out because of how fast we need to use it, and things like the refresher bases aren't refrigerated. So if you're not getting ice it's really gonna be room temp, and get hot pretty quickly, especially if you get espresso shots in it.

      @@pk7190 A lot of our customers are regulars that want it but don't always say it each time. With a ton of our sales being Refreshers this time of year, the drink won't be watered down by doing light ice. Some customers specifically ask for their drinks to have regular ice which are then made as requested. If the customer is in the cafe after ordering an iced americano or latte, I'll usually ask right there if they want light ice. With the ice changing soon to a form that will melt quicker, I'm sure light ice will be more popular than ever in iced lattes for customers that would rather a milky latte than a watered-down latte
