When looking at a Starbucks\u2019 menu, you will be presented with several options of drinks you can order. Let\u2019s have a look at some of the most common hot drinks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hot drinks <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A common drink is the americano<\/span><\/strong>, which is an espresso to which your barista will add hot water. You can also order a latte<\/span><\/strong>, which is an espresso with hot milk. A cappuccino<\/span><\/strong> is another common drink people order. A cappuccino is simply an espresso with hot milk and foam. If you are not a big fan of caffeine, you can also order a decaf coffee<\/span><\/strong>. Moving on, you can also order a macchiato<\/span><\/strong> (espresso with little hot milk), a doppio<\/span><\/strong> (two shots of espresso), and a mocha<\/span><\/strong> (coffee with bittersweet mocha sauce and steamed milk). <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are an espresso fan, you can also order a brewed coffee<\/span><\/strong>, which is when we pour hot water over ground coffee. You can simply ask for a cafe au lait<\/span><\/strong> if you like coffee with milk. For those who like tea, another common hot drink is a chai<\/span><\/strong>, which is made of tea, milk, spices, and sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n If you are anything like me, you prefer cold drinks. In that case, you may order an iced coffee<\/span><\/strong> or an iced latte<\/span><\/strong>, which is the hot drink poured over a lot of ice. You can also order a frappuccino<\/span><\/strong>, which is made by blending coffee, milk and ice and topping it up with whipped cream and the sauce of your choice. <\/p>\n\n\n A common doubt is regarding the sizes. You can simply ask for a small, a medium, or a large drink. However, at Starbucks, it is more common to refer to a small drink as a tall drink, a medium would be a grande, and a large drink is referred to as a venti. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples: <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you order a drink with milk, you can choose from different milk options. You can ask for whole (full-fat milk), 2% (reduced fat), or nonfat (also called skinny or skim). Some other options are: almond, soy, or coconut. You can also ask for half and half or heavy cream. <\/p>\n\n\n You can also customize your drink by adding pumps of different flavors of syrup. Some examples are caramel, vanilla, and hazelnut. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Examples: <\/p>\n\n\n\n When you are ordering your coffee you may hear some phrases. Let\u2019s take a look at the most common ones. <\/p>\n\n\n First, you should know that we call \u2018cashier\u2019 the person who will ring you up (ring up is a phrasal verb that means to use a cash register to calculate the cost of something). The cashier may say phrases like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Next in line. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Who\u2019s next? <\/p>\n\n\n\n I can help whoever\u2019s next. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n All these sentences mean that you can approach the register and place your order if you are the next in line. If you are next in line, but you are not sure about what to order, you can look at the person behind you and say \u201cYou can go ahead. I\u2019m still deciding\u201d or \u201cYou go ahead. I\u2019m not ready to order yet\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Then, at the register, the cashier may ask you: <\/p>\n\n\n\n What can I do for you? <\/p>\n\n\n\n …. are you having? <\/p>\n\n\n\n …. can I get you? <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n He\/she wants to know what your order will be. You can say something like: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can I get a latte to go? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Can I get an iced vanilla latte for here, please? <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n \u2018To go\u2019 means you will drink your coffee somewhere else. If you ask for 3 coffees to go, for instance, they will place them in a cup holder or drink carrier. \u2018For here\u2019 means that you will have your coffee at the coffee shop. <\/p>\n\n\n\n After you decide what your order will be, the barista may ask you for your name. You can tell them your first name. That will be used by the barista, which is the person making your coffee, to announce that your coffee is ready. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Unlike restaurants, where you can just leave the tip on the table, when you buy coffee at a coffee shop it is very likely that there will be a tip jar on the counter by the register. You should consider the amount of your order and the quality of the service when deciding how much you should tip \u2013 something around 15 to 20 percent is usually a good amount. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Take a look at this conversation in coffee shop:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dialogue 1<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cashier: Hi. What can I get you today? Dialogue 2<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Cashier: Good morning. What are you having today? We hope you learned a thing or two with this coffee vocabulary in English<\/strong>.
