Starbucks Espresso Drinks
1. Espresso
Espresso is a coffee brewed by forcing pressurized water through finely-ground coffee beans.
It is often drunk straight, but it can also be used in drinks such as the latte or cappuccino.
Espresso is widely used for its intense flavor and because it is a relatively short drink that can be downed quickly.
Starbucks offers both traditional Espresso and Blonde Espresso which has slightly more caffeine.
2. Espresso Con Panna
Espresso Con Panna is a shot of espresso with a dollop of cream on top.
Its flavor profile is quite simple, with the espresso dominating both the flavor and texture.
Most people like it because the espresso is a pleasant pick-me-up. Its strength is due to its smaller volume rather than increased caffeine content through brewing time like drip coffee does.
3. Espresso Macchiato
Espresso Macchiato consists of a single or double shot of espresso that has been “marked” with a small amount of foamed milk, creating contrast in both color and flavor.
This drink extends the espresso experience by delaying the onset of the caffeine high caused by drinking espresso straight. It can be served either hot or over ice.
4. Iced Espresso
For those who don’t need a Frappuccino, this Iced Espresso is made of espresso with ice and can be ordered hot or iced.
It can be customized with any number of syrups or flavorings to make it more personalized.
5. Iced Shaken Espresso
A sweeter version of an Iced Americano, the Iced Shaken Espresso is made with 3 shots of espresso, milk, and 4 pumps of classic syrup for the taste.
The milk and syrup mellow out the strong flavor of espresso which makes this a perfect substitute for a boring iced coffee.
6. Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso
The Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso consists of a shot of espresso shaken with ice and chocolate almond milk to create a flavor like an iced mocha.
People enjoy drinking it because it is a light, refreshing and flavorful alternative to traditional chocolate drinks at Starbucks.
7. Iced Brown Sugar Oat Shaken Espresso
The Iced Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso is made of 3 shots of espresso, 4 pumps of brown sugar syrup, oat milk, and ice.
It can be ordered iced or hot. Its flavor is like an iced Caramel Macchiato.
8. Iced Toasted Vanilla Oat Shaken Espresso
Everything you need from a summer-time coffee.
An Iced Toasted Vanilla Oat Shaken Espresso is made of espresso, vanilla syrup, and oat milk.
The drink is shaken before being served to let the ingredients mix properly which creates a smooth experience thought the whole cup.
9. Caffè Latte
A latte is an Italian coffee drink that is composed of espresso and steamed milk with a small amount of foam on top.
Starbucks offers over 19 different Latte options on its menu. Variations include adding flavor syrups such as vanilla or hazelnut or using soy milk instead of dairy milk.

10. Macchiato

11. Cappuccino
A Cappuccino is an Italian coffee drink that typically consists of one-third espresso, one-third steamed milk, and one-third foam (frothed milk).
This beverage originated in Italy during World War II as an inexpensive substitute for the then hard-to-find coffee drinks like the café latte due to rationing.
Despite its current popularity, many Italians still consider it a breakfast drink rather than an all-day refreshment.
12. Americano
An Americano is a shot or more of espresso diluted with hot water.
It has a similar strength to coffee but with a stronger taste because the extraction time of the machine is increased.
You can order an Americano hot or cold, depending on your preference.

Starbucks also offers a Honey Almondmilk Flat White, which is just a sweeter twist on the original coffee.
14. Espresso Frappuccino
An Espresso Frappuccino is made of Starbucks black coffee, espresso, ice, and milk. The ingredients are blended to make a thick smoothie-like coffee beverage.
