1. Iced teas that are served are usually watered down. Want a stronger flavor? Ask the barista to serve your iced tea with no water. The barista would only add a small amount and your iced tea would have a stronger taste and aroma.
2. Iced teas contains loads of cane sugar for taste. If you want a healthier option, ask your barista to serve your iced tea unsweetened or with honey.
3. A cheaper alternative to a Chai Latte? Try ordering hot tea and chai teabags. Ask the barista to serve it with hot milk (though you’re most likely get only 4 oz of milk). Let the teabags steep longer and enjoy your cheaper Chai Latte!
4. Try out Caramel Macchiato’s long lost twin: Marble Mocha Macchiato. It basically has more flavor and has a touch of mocha.
5. You can actually have your hot drinks served at a “kid’s temperature”. The barista would serve your drink at a tolerable temperature. No drink would be too hot anymore! 
6. When you order a Chai Latte, it would always be served with added water to even out the taste. You can also ask the barista to serve the drink without water. In this way, your drink would have a richer cinnamon and chai flavor.
7. Wondering what’s the best-tasting coffee in Starbucks? An Americano has the best-tasting coffee flavor (since it’s espresso based). Just add milk to your Americano and you’re in for a treat!
8. If you’re staying at Starbucks for the whole day, you can order a Fresh Press of coffee. This option is cheaper than buying multiple drinks throughout the day. You can have any roast that you want but don’t rush the baristas since there are other customers too.
9. If you want your frappucinno to have a stronger coffee taste, ask the barista for the “Affogato Style”. The Affogato Style is done by pouring the shot on top of your drink. Not only would it look cooler, your espresso shot would not go to waste (because every frappucinno made has leftovers in the blender).
10. Tired of ordering “the usual”? Try out Startbuck’s hidden frappucinno menu. We recommend you to try their Franken Frappuccino and Butterbeer Frappucinno (Harry potter, anyone?).
Franken Frappucinno
A blend of Green Tea Frappuccino (classic syrup substituted with three pumps of peppermint syrup), three pumps of white mocha sauce and java chips, and topped with whipped cream and mocha drizzle.
Butterbeer Frappuccinno
The Harry Potter drink in Frappuccino form can be made with a Creme Frappuccino base flavored with three pumps each of caramel syrup and toffee nut syrup, and topped with caramel drizzle.
