Not at all. If you order it non fat with whip though I do. That goes for any drink
I’d hope not, since that’s my drink.
I do nonfat no-whip, though. That’s plenty manly, isn’t it?
I do hate the process of ordering it, though. Grande non-fat no-whip white mocha. Whenever I say it, it just feels like a random assortment of words and half-words tumbling from my mouth. During the summer I get to add “iced” and really create word soup. I think using the term “skinny” would save me the “nonfat no-whip” part, but I’ve got some kind of aversion to the whole concept of “skinny.”
Maybe they could make it standard that saying “no-no” means nonfatnowhip. Grande nono white mocha. Yes, much better.
When Starbucks first came out, I was excited at the prospect of getting good coffee, not at achieving an experience. It mystifies me that people get some sort of high on life from just going in there.
I’m just posting to add that I’m glad to hear you don’t care if I ask for a medium, or give the ounces. I rarely go in and it’s like learning a new skill to a)find the sizes on the menu and b) order what I want correctly. Which is usually just a regular coffee. I’m impervious to the experience, remember. 
Is a “skinny latte” supposed to have both non-fat milk & sugar free syrup? Because that’s what I thought, but when I’ve ordered them that way they used regular syrup (at more than one place).
But when I order non-fat with sf syrup, they call it a skinny latte.
Mine too… I think he’s saying non-fat without whip is ok.
Where does the term “all day” come from? I’ve heard it when an identical consecutive order is taken for regular coffee, but not for other drinks. Also I’ve only heard it used for one identical order, never more. Can’t figure out what about “all day” means “another one of the same”.
Well, non-fat with-whip is kind of silly. Akin to the proverbial big mac, extra large fries, and a diet coke.
Not really, a non-fat with whipped cream is 120 calories less than the regular (2%) with whipped cream - that’s for the white chocolate mocha, grande size. If you’re counting calories, that’s a nice chunk out of your drink.
I don’t get this logic, really. Ordering non-fat drinks save calories over the regular versions, sometimes quite a lot, no matter what you’re ordering them with.
In the case of the regular soda vs. diet soda, it could be several hundred calories depending on the size.
It’s a bit of a false dichotomy to say that, sure, but it’s just a bit of a logical pothole in practice.
Saying nonfat with whip is, basically, “Use nonfat milk instead of 2% milk, and then squirt a bunch of heavy cream mixed with sugar on top.” Yes, you’re saving a few calories, but you could be saving so much more calories by skipping the whipped cream also.
Further, the confusion could also come from whether you see no-whip as removing whipped cream that would otherwise be there, or choosing not to add whipped cream. If you see the whipped cream as a given, going with nonfat milk does “remove” some calories; but if you see whipped cream as something added, you are instead counteracting your nonfat milk substitution by adding more fat.
For reference, please see Socrates’ Dialog Upon A Mixed Coffee Beverage.
And you could save a ton by not having the drink at all. Or maybe they just like whipped cream and don’t like 2% milk, and they’re not worried about the calories at all.
I get your point, I just don’t agree with it. It always comes off like, “haha, that stupid person, they don’t know that whipped cream/whoppers aren’t fattening!”.
Much of human discourse is based around the concept that everybody but the speaker is a dummy.
Does Starbucks actually sell coffee? No sprinkles, just coffee. And if so, what is the proper way of ordering it? Just a little bit, maybe 8 ounces.
Short drip. Short drip decaf. Short regular coffee. 8oz coffee black. Any of these word combinations will get you regular coffee.
Directly behind the barista (cashiers) are generally two really big coffee dispensers with labels for their flavors. You can order them by the name, if you want.
You’re wrong. You’re saving 40 calories from nonfat milk over the 2% milk they normally use.
Whoops, I was using the Starbucks website to calculate, and think I checked something wrong.
Still not seeing the problem with people saving a few calories here and there, anyway.
I dont like the term skinny and refuse to say it. Skinny is non fat no whip and sugar free syrup. Which is exactly how i say it. The skinny marketing term is retarded. What should we call a drink with half and half and whip? Obese?
Skinny is non fat milk + sugar free syrup. If they made it wrong they might have got the syrup bottles mixed up it happens a lot of them look the same
Never heard that term wish I could help.
Yup just ask for a short coffee
And what ever the reasoning is i do a [face_blank] whenever any drink is non fat with whip
For the millionth time we don’t have free wifi
How many folks order the “short” cappuccino?
not many i dont mind making it
Most mornings, I stop by a gas station with a self-serv coffee bar - different machines with things like hot cocoa, cappaucinos, etc., then a couple of different styles of coffee (light roast, medium roast, and so on).
What I like to do is grab their biggest cup, fill it halfway with hot cocoa (which seems to be a powder/water mix machine), then the rest of the way with ordinary coffee.
How would I order something like this at Starbucks? I feel somewhat silly saying, “half cocoa, half coffee, no whipped cream,” but it’s the best I can think of.
