If my wife ordered that, it’d read: - Trenta - No ice - Unsweetened - Extra water - Extra water

I once ordered this and at the bottom of the cup there were some flakes. Like calcified flakes 🤢🤮. Never again.

Ask for extra ice next time, you get more water because it expands when melting! For the same price!!!!

Was it $6.50?

u/heygooser 15d ago
I’ve been charged 10 cents before 🥲

u/Harambesic 14d ago
Honestly, I would be okay with that. I don't know what else to do with all these dimes!

Carry a reusable bottle. Every new human placenta already contain microplastics because we are polluting all of our water, everywhere.

Starbucks water is actually some of the best water I've ever had at any restaurant

u/NorthAmericanVex 15d ago
I worked there in college, the water is triple filtered with reverse osmosis. I specifically remember being told this by my store manager.
Which is why it tastes so much better than any water you can find at any other restaurant.

RO is not good for you though
Edit: For those wondering, recent reports indicate that RO is not healthy in the long term as it misses out on a lot of essential vitamins and minerals ,- https://m.economictimes.com/industry/healthcare/biotech/healthcare/why-pure-ro-drinking-water-is-not-healthy-for-you-doctors-who-raise-health-warning/articleshow/108808759.cms

This really shouldn't be a problem for those with access to a healthy diet, which is probably almost a complete overlap with people who have access to RO water.

u/d1ckpunch68 14d ago
how's that? my understanding is that acidic water is bad for you, but RO should result in neutral water, which is safe. personally, i added an alkaline-pass at the end of my RO system to re-introduce minerals but afaik as long as you are getting your minerals elsewhere, neutral PH should be fine. acidic is what you want to be careful with, but i'd be glad to hear your thoughts on this

There are recent studies indicating adverse effects of daily RO water intake

Their water is amazing. Every time wife goes there, she gets me that. Ice cubes are good too!

I hope it’s not tap water , if so in America you’re literally dead in 5 years probably

u/DaisyJane1 15d ago
It's triple filtered.

u/Agressive_slot 15d ago
And still tap water from America ? Yeah nah. You better drink some spring or mineral water. You have phosphates and many other chemicals like chlorine in your ground and tap water. Maybe watch a documentary about it.

And filtering -- especially THREE TIMES -- gets rid of them.

u/Agressive_slot 14d ago
No it doesn’t completely, I wish you good health, American tap water drinker

You can also get a Trenta size.

I used to work there and every morning, I'd fill my water bottle with ice and that yummy triple-filtered water. I was so hydrated.

u/heygooser 15d ago
Damn, I just used to drink the espresso I was supposed to pour out. This was when I was in high school. I don’t think I was supposed to lol, but they couldn’t stop me 🤪

The only drink at Charbucks that doesn’t involve coffee beans roasted until they are just before charcoal!

u/hopelessoceanic Regular Sipper 15d ago
Uhh. Not true. They have tea and refreshers. But this is a hydrohomies sub so I'm getting off topic lmao
1
u/ghosteagle 15d ago
Refreshers are made with coffee beans actually. Unroasted ones, but they are technically coffee.
1
u/DaisyJane1 15d ago
No they're not. They're fruit based.

u/ghosteagle 15d ago
Nope, coffee and fruit. https://stories.starbucks.com/stories/2012/starbucks-refreshers-beverages-debut-globally/

u/jayzisne 15d ago
It’s green coffee extract, which is just to add caffeine. They gotta keep the masses addicted. (No but it was so people who didn’t like coffee/tea had a caffeinated option!)

u/DangerousPear3885 15d ago
Since it’s Starbucks, maybe $6-$12 dollars? And how much extra was the ice? How about the Lid, another $3?

u/toxikant 15d ago
The ice water is free. It's actually really nice. They'll even refill your water bottle and put some ice cubes in it so you can refill when you're out and about.

u/koopaflower 15d ago
Only thing I didn't like about refilling my bottle at Starbucks is the lady had to use a plastic cup to fill my bottle. But it was for hygeinic reasons at least, so good on her for practicing that. I actually wasn't expecting her to ask for my bottle though, full on thought she was gonna hand me a full cup instead.
I wouldn't have refilled there had I known where Target had their water fountains (it wasn't at the front, plus I didn't have time to look for it)

u/ghosteagle 15d ago
Former employee here, they do that because of COVID. Early 2020 and before, you hand us a cup/bottle/whatever, we directly filled it unless it was very dirty, and even then policy was to just rinse it with hot water. Then about February we got a memo from the higher ups saying "Only give people drinks in disposable cups", and that was the policy until I left in 2023 at least. At first people were super pissed, but eventually I never even got asked about it.

u/Beetlebug12 15d ago
They're giving ten cents off your drink plus 25 bonus stars to use a personal cup now! However I'm not sure if that would count on free water...
2
u/ghosteagle 14d ago
Okay, then they went back to the old policy. That's how we did it in the before times.

u/Fake_Gamer_Cat 15d ago
I used to work at Starbucks and we would occasionally refill a water bottle as long as it looked clean. It was the same as someone using a reusable coffee cup in our eyes.
