The Best Coffee at Starbucks Isn't on the Menu
The Instant Brew is when baristas brew coffee directly into the cup and not into a giant vat of joe. It’s also known as a pour-over or single-drop. This trend is becoming more popular among small specialty coffee houses, and it produces a stronger brew similar to a French press, but without the grit.

There's a few more items from Starbucks which may further piss off your local barista.
- The Short Cappuccino: A cheaper, better cappuccino served in a smaller eight-ounce cup. This is a more European-size portion of the drink without the extra milk most baristas use to fill the tall cups. Most foodies agree that a proper cappuccino should be one part espresso, one part steamed milk and one part foam.
- Biscotti Frappuccino: buy an individual biscotto and ask your barista to blend it into any Frappuccino drink for a crunchy treat.
- Red Eye: a shot of espresso in regular drip coffee
- Black Eye: two shots of espresso in regular drip coffee
- Green Eye: three shots of espresso in regular drip coffee (with a side of insomnia and serious heart palpitations)
- Poor Man’s Latte: order an Iced Americano with no water and half ice, then pour in your own half-and-half at the condiments station; the result is a Breve Latte for a fraction of the cost.
- Chocolate Cream Frappuccino: a Frappuccino made with chocolate syrup and chocolate Frappuccino base
- Cake Batter Frappuccino: a vanilla Frappuccino made with both vanilla bean and almond flavoring
- Crunch Berry Frappuccino: a strawberry-and-cream Frappuccino with hazelnut flavoring; it tastes just like Crunch Berries cereal.
- London Fog: Earl Grey tea blended with vanilla flavoring
- Zebra Mocha (aka Penguin Mocha): a combination white-chocolate/chocolate mocha
- Red-Tux Mocha (aka Bleeding Penguin): a Zebra Mocha plus raspberry flavoring
