I went to dunkin’ the other day and asked for an iced latte with less ice because it’s winter and I wanted less ice. They gave me a cup that was halfway full of coffee. So I asked why and they told me they press a button on a machine, it fills it halfway full with coffee and then they add ice. So when you get a medium iced latte, you’re not actually getting a medium latte, you’re getting a small or a kids size nowadays of coffee, and then they just fill the rest of it with ice. If you ask for less ice, no screw you, you’re not getting the full amount of coffee that you paid for…
I have never heard of this in any other country. What the hell?
I mostly care about how much caffeine I get, which I understand to be the same regardless of how much ice there is. Generally, small or medium is 2 shots of espresso, and a large is 3 shots.
If you want two espresso shots, then you could just have them straight up. It doesn’t really make sense why you would water them down with a bunch of ice, because then it tastes like crap. If I get an iced latte, it should taste like an iced latte, I shouldn’t have to struggle through it by dumping more sugar into it like I’m taking some sort of medical concoction. There are so many things they could do to fill up the cup, add a little bit of milk into it. You guys don’t have milk? I asked them that. Oh well it’s extra to put more milk. Ridiculous I swear
More product costs more? Outrageous!
Fact check, Isle two.
Do you know that a latte is espresso with milk?
Why not order a hot latte, and a cup of ice on the side so you can add a couple cubes? or simply wait for it to cool down to the temperature of your preference.
You were in the right and have a valid complaint. The people stating otherwise are making a bad faith argument not even based in fact.
Sorry you had that experience - the cashier was a twat; a number of these posters apparently aspire to be like him.
