London: So, you think you’ve got your Starbucks order down? Well, think again! Even the most loyal fans might be missing out on some insider tips from baristas. They’ve shared some common mistakes that could totally change your coffee game.

First off, asking for less ice? That might not be the best move. A former barista, Michelle Plett, explained that it can actually lead to a watered-down drink. Instead of more coffee, you might just end up with more milk. Not what you want, right?

And if you love foam, don’t ruin it by stirring or shaking your drink. One barista on TikTok said that using a straw defeats the purpose of the foam. Just sip it straight from the lid and enjoy!

Now, about that “pay-it-forward” chain at the drive-thru. If someone in front of you pays for your order, you don’t have to feel obligated to keep it going. Some baristas actually prefer when it’s broken, as it can get confusing with the registers.

When it comes to pastries, ask for them to be heated on setting “two.” It melts everything perfectly, making it gooey and delicious. And if you’re ordering a sandwich, have them open it up while heating to get that cheese nice and melty.

For those racking up Starbucks points, Plett suggests using 300 points for a whole bag of coffee instead of just one drink. It’s a much better deal!

And if you’re feeling adventurous, you can create your own Frappuccino. Just order a Java Chip Frappuccino with hazelnut syrup, toffee nut syrup, and caramel drizzle. Sounds tasty, right?

Lastly, remember that when you’re at the drive-thru, the staff can see and hear everything. So, keep it PG! They’ve heard some wild stuff from customers. Just a little heads up for your next visit!
