So, what does it all mean? Here is a breakdown of some terms a Starbucks beginner probably won’t know:
Non-fat/skim – skim milk (if your drink contains milk)Low-fat/percentage – 1% or 2% milkBreve – Made with half and half instead of milk. Makes it thicker, and contains many more calories than the above choices – Non-fat milk, sugar free syrup – Lattes and Macchiatos have foamed milk on top, you can ask for no foam or wet/dry – Less Foam (and more liquid)Dry – More Foam (and less liquid)
You’ll also need to know the sizes. Unlike McDonald’s cups, they don’t have small, medium and large. Starbucks sizes, from smallest to largest, are the following:
Short – 8 oz. Basically kids size – 12 oz. You’ll get this size if you ask for smallGrande – 16 oz. This is medium, but it’s confusing because it means “large” in Italian – Translated from Italian, it means “Twenty,” which is how many ounces this size is
