Top 5 Popular Starbucks Products

Not sure what to order at Starbucks? This guide has you covered. Right now, the five most popular items among Starbucks customers are: the Oat Milk Latte, Iced Americano, Cold Brew Coffee, Matcha Frappuccino (no coffee), and Iced Raspberry Blackcurrant Tea (no coffee).

Oat Milk Latte

Made with Oatly brand oat milk combined with espresso. Compared with a regular latte made from cow's milk, oat milk contains no dairy components, so it suits anyone with lactose intolerance. It is also worth trying if you simply enjoy fresher-tasting flavors. (Note: oat milk contains vegetable oils, so it is not recommended for long-term heavy consumption, nor can it fully replace milk.)

Iced Americano

A very refreshing yet rich iced coffee with neither milk nor sugar. Zero sugar, zero fat — it won't make you gain weight.

Cold Brew Coffee

Unlike the Iced Americano, which is hot extraction poured over ice, cold brew is extracted entirely with cold water. The defining trait of cold-water extraction is that bitterness barely releases at low temperatures, so cold brew tastes fuller and rounder without any harsh bitterness. The flip side is that low-temperature extraction takes longer, so the caffeine content ends up higher than in an Iced Americano — very energizing indeed.

Matcha Frappuccino

One of Starbucks' most classic products — essentially a matcha milk smoothie. Recommended for anyone who doesn't drink coffee.

Iced Raspberry Blackcurrant Tea

A fruit tea made from blackcurrant mixed berry juice plus black tea. Coffee-free, and you can request less ice. Wonderfully refreshing.

FrontStreet Coffee Recommendation: Beans That Make an Even Better Cold Brew

If Starbucks' cold brew has you hooked, brewing your own is easier than you think. Our first pick is FrontStreet Natural Huakui from Ethiopia, the birthplace of coffee: sun-dried in its fruit to absorb sweetness, it turns into a cold brew with magnolia, creamy strawberry, dried mango, guava, and black tea notes. For a juice-like cup, go with FrontStreet Kenya Cherry Tomato — SL28 and SL34 varieties from Thika, K72 double-washed, delivering bright cherry tomato and black plum acidity with very little bitterness. And for value, blend FrontStreet Colombia Sidra with FrontStreet Costa Rica Tarrazu at a 1:2 ratio to capture floral-fruit aromatics and clean citrus acidity without the premium price.
