Must-Try Ranking for First-Time Starbucks Visitors: Top 10 Best Coffee Drinks at Starbucks

Published: 2026-01-28 Author: FrontStreet Coffee

Last Updated: 2026/01/28, Which Starbucks coffee is the most bitter? As someone who frequently visited Starbucks for coffee, I can share that personally, I believe Starbucks' most bitter coffee is the espresso. This is because Starbucks uses very dark roast coffee beans, intentionally roasted this way to ensure flavor consistency and extend the beans' shelf life.

Drinking coffee is a very common thing nowadays, so when you go to Starbucks for coffee, you don't need to be too nervous. Just choose products according to your preferences! Follow our guide and see how to order at Starbucks for the first time without making mistakes!

- Coffee Series -

Americano

If you don't know what to drink, just go for an Americano black coffee - zero calories and zero fat! A cup in the morning will refresh your mind and keep you awake, eliminating any drowsiness. Caffeine also helps reduce puffiness! It's cost-effective and perfect for those who want to drink coffee but worry about calories.

Latte

For those who don't like black coffee or find it too bitter, you can choose a latte! A latte is a milk coffee made with 2/3 milk + 1/3 espresso. When the sweetness of heated milk fully blends with coffee, the coffee becomes rich but not bitter, with an enticing creamy aroma!

Flat White

If you want a milk coffee with a more intense coffee flavor, you can choose a Flat White. Although it looks similar in size to a latte, the ristretto espresso used to make a Flat White has a more concentrated flavor than the regular espresso used for lattes!

Caramel Macchiato

Caramel Macchiato is a sweeter coffee option. If you're really worried that you or your friends might not like coffee, you can try this product. The rich and sweet caramel sauce blends with coffee, not only adding sweetness but also enhancing the expression of coffee's unique aroma.

Cold Brew with Cold Foam

This is a cold brew coffee with a small amount of cream! Compared to coffee brewed with hot water, cold brew coffee uses cold water for low-temperature extraction, which significantly reduces the bitter compounds in coffee! The layered appearance looks very appealing! The lightly sweetened cream blends with the richness of cold brew coffee, leaving you instantly refreshed!

- Non-Coffee Series -

Tea Latte / Matcha Latte

No coffee, absolutely no coffee! Perhaps you didn't know that "Latte" in Italian means milk! These two products are made using tea powder. Black tea or matcha powder is added to milk and steamed/shaken for fusion, resulting in a tea-flavored milk drink!

Iced Shaken Raspberry Blackcurrant Tea / Peach Oolong Tea

These are made with concentrated juice + different flavored teas. The Raspberry Blackcurrant uses hibiscus tea paired with mixed berry juice, creating a sweet and tart flavor. The Peach Oolong uses oolong tea paired with peach juice + peach pulp, making it extremely refreshing!

Matcha Frappuccino / Vanilla Bean Frappuccino / Mango Passion Fruit Frappuccino

These are all blended drinks! They are also the best-selling series among Starbucks' cold beverages! If you really don't know what to choose, go for the Matcha Frappuccino! It's absolutely the best!
