The tantalizing aroma of fresh coffee wafted towards us.

Let’s first look at the first word: decaf

Decaf is the abbreviation, spelled out as decaffeinated coffee, which is “decaffeinated coffee” or simply “decaffeinated coffee”.

Caffeine is an ingredient that comes with coffee (also in tea and cola). Many people say that they can’t sleep after drinking coffee because caffeine is at work, because it can stimulate nerves. Center, helping people temporarily dispel sleepiness.

Some people who don’t want to be affected by caffeine will choose “decaffeinated coffee”, that is, decaf. By the way, "de-" is a prefix, meaning "removal"; "caf" is the abbreviation of caffeine ("caffeinated").

The next time you hear a foreigner say in Starbucks: I'll have a grande decaf mocha, please! (I want a medium cup of decaf mocha), the clerk will mark the decaf box. Put a hook on it.

Look at the second word: Shots

The most common meaning of shot is "shooting". In fact, shot has many other meanings, such as "hitting, photo, lens, attempt" , injection" etc. One of the weirdest-sounding meanings, but one that is also commonly used abroad, is: a small sip. For example: He took a shot of whiskey. (He took a sip of whiskey.)

The shot on the Starbucks cup refers to the number of "espresso" shots made from ground coffee beans. The rules for adding espresso shots (shots) to different cup types are generally as follows:

Small cup (short) and medium cup (tall): add 1 shot of espresso;

Grande and venti: add 2 espressos, that is, 2 shots.

If you order a medium cup but want to add 2 shots of espresso, it seems to cost an extra 4 yuan. But if you are familiar with the store clerk, just say hello, which is just a matter of pressing a button on the coffee machine.

The third word is: syrup

Syrup refers to "syrup", and Starbucks' syrups are only five kinds:

Vanilla flavor (vanilla)

Hazelnut

Caramel

Almond

Classic syrup ( classic)

Each syrup can be added separately, and the flavors will be different, depending on how you mix it.

If you order vanilla syrup alone, the clerk will write a V (for vanilla) in the syrup place, and if you order caramel syrup, he will write a C (for caramel).

Starbucks’ quarterly promotional drinks are to add various flavors of syrup (syrup) and cream ( cream).

The fourth word: Milk

I won’t explain more about this word, right? Table "milk".

Generally, Starbucks coffee (except American style) is served with different proportions of milk, but different customers may have requirements for the type of milk, such as whole milk, skim milk, soy milk, etc.

For example, if someone likes skimmed milk, the store clerk will mark it N (meaning non-fat milk); if someone likes to add soy milk, the store clerk will mark it S (meaning soy milk).

The fifth word is: Custom

Custom has a meaning of "habit". In the eyes of Westerners, customers are God. Each customer has his own unique habits, so customers are called customers.

The word "custom" on Starbucks cups can be interpreted as "customized". That is, customers can put forward some personalized requirements to the store staff based on their own habits, such as: less ice, no cream, normal temperature, less milk foam, etc.

The clerks here have a variety of ways of writing. For example, if the customer asks for a lot of ice, the clerk will write X ice, where the X refers to extra; if the customer asks for no milk foam, the clerk will write nf, which means no foam.

The last word: Drink

This word means "drink" and is the most basic. You don’t have to write other boxes, but this box must be written, otherwise the barista will be confused when the clerk hands the cup to the barista.

Whatever drink the customer orders, the clerk has to fill in the corresponding letters, for example:

L stands for "Latte"

C stands for " Cappuccino

CM stands for Caramel-Macchiato

M stands for Mocha

A stands for "Americano"
