How to Order at Starbucks

Ordering at Starbucks, a popular international chain of upscale coffeehouses can be intimidating to those of us who are not coffee connoisseurs or Starbucks regulars. With some basic understanding of the guidelines of coffee making, placing your next order at Starbucks will be a breeze.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Tailoring Your Drink

1. Consider your cravings. To get a drink you will enjoy, it is important ordering something based on what you are craving. Ordering at Starbucks does not necessarily mean that you must order coffee; in fact, there are dozens of drink choices including tea, smoothies, and hot chocolates. Consider the current outside temperature and season to decide what sounds just right.
   
   • If you are not sure what sounds good, do not be afraid to ask your barista for suggestions or help. They can give you choices based on your drink preferences to help make one tailored to you.
   • Remember to think about if you want the drink hot, iced, or blended, as well as the sweetness and caffeine.
2. Choose a size. Starbucks is known for having its name-specific sizing. Don’t fear, getting the sizes down is easy. A tall is the equivalent of 12oz, a grande is 16oz, and a venti is 20oz in hot and 26oz in iced. While not listed on the menu, all Starbucks locations offer a short drink equalling 8oz. Starbucks locations in the United States also offer Trenta for a limited number of drinks, which is equal to 31oz.
   
   • A tall typically comes with a single shot of espresso, a grande comes with a double shot, and a venti also comes with a double shot, unless it is a venti iced drink, in which it comes with a triple shot of espresso.
   • If you want more espresso than the size your order comes with, simply ask for extra shots. These will cost more, but you will be able to get that perfect amount of espresso without having to size your entire drink up.
3. Add a little flavor. It does not matter if you order coffee, tea, or any other drink - you always can add sugar or a syrup flavor. Adding a flavor will typically give you two extra pumps of syrup, so if you want your drink extra sweet be sure to specify and be ready to pay more. Sugar is free, but a syrup flavor is not.
   
   • If you’re uncertain what flavor you want to add, ask to see a flavor menu or ask the barista what popular flavors are available. There are dozens of flavor choices, so don’t feel like you are limited to simply “sugar” or “no sugar.”
   • Most of the popular syrup flavors like vanilla, caramel, and hazelnut all come with sugar-free options. If you are trying to be a bit healthier, order a sugar-free syrup flavor for your drink.
   • Ask about seasonal flavors when you order, as many specialty syrups are available at different times of the year. In the fall and winter, pumpkin is available while in the summer coconut is often out in participating locations.
4. Choose the liquid base. Some drinks are made with milk while others are made with water as the base. If you prefer one over the other, specify that when you order. Typically, the available milk options are nonfat, 2% milk, soymilk, and half-and-half. Starbucks also carries other kinds of milk such as almond or coconut milk.
   
   • You can get any drink hot or iced, and many coffee drinks blended. If you change the form of your drink, you might also have to change the liquid base. For example, blended coffee must be made with a milk base instead of water to get the right consistency.
   • When milk is steamed, it creates a richly aerated foam. This is like warm whipped milk on the top of your drink. If you like foam, you can order your drink with extra, or if you don’t like it ask for your drink to go without.
5. Consider the caffeine. Espresso and coffee both naturally have caffeine, as make black and green teas. If you want less caffeine in your drink, order half-caf (1/2 the normal amount of caffeine) or decaf (with no caffeine). You can also add extra shots of coffee if you are looking for a bit more energy from your drink.
   

[Edit]Choosing a Drink

1. Get brewed coffee. This is just your basic drip coffee you might make at home, but prepared in many different flavors. All Starbucks have multiple brews going during the day, so you can sample several different roasts and blends. A pour-over, where hot water is passed through the ground coffee, is also offered; this takes longer but is typically the same price as brewed coffee. Brewed coffee is the cheapest and easiest thing on the menu to order. Some stores may also have a Clover machine, which can brew both core roasts and any reserved coffees stored at the location.
   
2. Try a latte. Lattes are a basic espresso drink made out of steamed milk and espresso shots. Any flavor can be added to a latte, and any type of milk can be used. Lattes can be made hot or iced.
   
3. Try an americano. These are one of the most popular drinks for coffee enthusiasts, as the espresso taste is strong. Americanos are made with espresso and water only and have one extra shot more than any other drink. Cream and sugar can be added just like with drip coffee, as well as any flavor you might like.
   
4. Try a cappuccino. These are similar to lattes because they are made solely of steamed milk and espresso, but cappuccinos comprise a large amount of foam. This means that your drink will be more light and fluffy than liquid. A cappuccino typically comes with approximately equal parts foamed and steamed milk; you may order it as “wet” (not so much foam) or “dry” (mostly foam) to preference. Add any flavors or sugar alterations you would like.
   
5. Order a caramel macchiato. Macchiato is the Italian word meaning, “marked.” It is used in this drink to describe the mark of espresso poured over the top, instead of being stirred into the drink. Caramel macchiatos are made with vanilla syrup, steamed milk, and foam, espresso, and caramel drizzle.
   
6. Get a mocha. Mochas are lattes (milk and espresso) with the addition of chocolate. The two mocha variants are milk chocolate and white chocolate. The former is a bit richer while the latter is much sweeter. Mochas are typically made without any foam, so if you like the creamy milk ask for a little extra on top.
   
7. Try a specialty espresso drink. If you are a real espresso lover, order it straight up! Ask for a single or double shot of espresso, and then add a modifier of choice. Often espresso shots are served macchiato style with a dollop of foam, or con panna with a bit of whipped cream. An espresso macchiato may be confused for a caramel or latte macchiato: make sure to specify.
   
8. Order a tea. If you are not a coffee lover, try getting one of the many teas available. Most teas are made with hot water, but there are several latte teas made with milk. These include the ever-popular chai tea (spicy cinnamon flavored tea) and the London fog (sweet vanilla and earl gray tea blend). You can order any tea to be made with milk or water, and hot or iced.
   
9. Get a frappuccino. Frappuccinos are blended drinks, typically made with coffee. Starbucks offers many specialty Frappuccinos, so ask your barista what ones are offered if you don’t see them on the menu. Some Frappuccinos, like the strawberries and cream, aren’t made with any coffee. These often come with a whip and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel.
   
10. Try other non-coffee drinks. If you are not interested in coffee or tea, don’t worry - there are several other non-coffee drinks available at Starbucks. For hot drinks, you can get hot chocolate, a steamer (milk with a syrup flavor), or an apple cider. You can also do lemonade or different smoothies if you want something cold and coffee-free.
    
11. Order your drink. Once you have decided on your coffee and all the possible variables, make your order. Start with the size of the drink, the temperature (which is hot by default, even in warm weather), then the name, then any amendments you want to make. For example, order a “grande chai tea latte with extra foam.” Don’t be afraid to be specific!^[1]

[Edit]Tips

• Remember to wait at the end of the bar and not by the register.
• Remember that sometimes the baristas will get your name wrong, so be prepared for those mistakes.
• Double-check your drink to make sure that it is what you want after it has been handed over. Hovering over the bar and telling the barista how to do their job will decrease your chances of getting a quality beverage.
• Be kind! You can even pay it forward and order the drink for the person behind you in line if they want one!
• Always say thank you!
• Don't be afraid to ask for help if you don't understand something.
• Refrain from using your cell phone as you order; it is rude.
• Various bottled drinks and juices are generally offered at Starbucks, usually located in a refrigerated shelf beneath the pastry display shelf.
• If you're hungry, check out the pastries and food dishes offered in addition to ordering your drink.
• If you want to try something you are not sure about, ask if you can sample it.
• If ordering a frappuccino make sure you know if it has coffee in it as some frappuccinos don't necessarily  have coffee.
• Don't forget to tip your barista!
• When ordering a beverage that has whipped cream by default such as a Mocha, and requesting non-fat milk, do not forget to specify whether you want whipped cream.
• If the barista doesn't speak your language as fluently as you'd like, please refrain from shouting and becoming impatient as that is rude. Speak clearly, and slowly, and do not be rude.
• Order different things and find new drinks! You are bound to find more you like than usual.
• Be alert, as people will grab any random drink that is shouted out. Keep your receipt just in case you need to get your drink made over. Again, stay alert, because more than one person may have the same drink as you (for example: "I have a Grande Cafe Latte at the bar!") A grande latte is the most common drink ordered at a Starbucks.
• Staying there? They will serve your beverages in real cups and glasses instead of paper if you ask. Just say: "For Here" when ordering. (Only at certain stores, not all.)

How to Flirt With Body Language

Someone has caught your eye, but how do you get their attention? How can you tell if they’re into you, too? You’ll be happy to learn you don’t have to say a word to someone to let them know you think they’re attractive. Try saying “I want you” with your body, instead!

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Showing Someone You’re Interested

1. Make eye contact with your crush for 2-3 seconds, then look away. Prolonged eye contact tells the person you might like them. Look at the person you’re crushing on and wait for them to look back at you. Meet their eyes, then quickly glance away.^[1]
   
   • Try a sideways glance if they’re not directly in front of you. Turn your head to the side, look at your crush, then look away.
   • Don’t stare at the person because it might weird them out. Only look at them for a few seconds at a time.
2. Smile a toothy grin at your crush to show you’re interested. Flashing a sweet smile at your crush is a fun, easy way to flirt.^[2] When your crush looks your way, smile at them and see if they smile back. If they do, you might continue flirting with them or might even break the ice by saying, “Hi.”^[3]
   
   • Go with a big smile so they'll take notice. If your smile is too subtle, the person might not realize you're flirting.
   • If you go to school with your crush, try smiling at them while you’re passing in the hallway. If they don’t smile back, you can just act like you were smiling at someone else.
3. Raise 1 or both eyebrows when you make eye contact. Cocking an eyebrow tells the other person you noticed them. It says, “I’m checking you out.” While you’re holding eye contact for a few seconds, slowly raise and lower your eyebrow. If the person smiles or does it back, they might be into you.^[4]
   
   • You can also use this trick when someone catches your eye at a social event. If they ask you why you raised your brows, say something like, “I think I know you from somewhere,” or “Oh, you look a lot like my friend.”
4. Wink at your crush if you’re feeling confident. A well-timed wink sends your crush a clear message that you like them. Look in your crush’s direction until they glance your way. Then, give them a slow wink. Be sure to smile so they know you’re flirting!^[5]
   
   • Winking is really explainable if the person doesn’t seem to be into you. Just pretend like you’ve got something in your eye or are having allergies.

[Edit]Catching Someone’s Attention

1. Toss, tousle, or flip your hair because it looks seductive. You don’t need long, flowy hair to flirt! Playing with your hair is an easy way for anyone to flirt. Run your hands through shorter hair or gently tousle it with your fingertips. If you have mid-length or long hair, wrap it around your finger, push it over your shoulder, or shake it around.^[6]
   
   • If you’re bald or have a buzzed head, simply run your fingers along your bare (or nearly bare) head.
2. Tilt your head to 1 side so your neck is exposed. An exposed neck sends your crush the message, “I want your lips here.” Once you get their attention, casually shift your head to the side so your neck is visible. You might also move your hair aside and could play with the collar on your shirt or top to draw more attention to your neck.^[7]
   
   • Keep your movements small so you’re not being obvious. For instance, you might sigh and run your hand over your hair, pulling it the side. As you do this, lower your head slightly to the side so your neck becomes more visible. Wait a moment or 2, then shift to the other side.
3. Bite or lick your lower lip to make your crush think about kissing. Lips are super sexy! Make your crush think about your lips by drawing attention to them. Gently nibble your bottom lip for a couple of seconds to look super seductive. You might also slowly lick your lip.^[8]
   
   • Don’t bite down hard on your lip because you might hurt yourself.
   • Only do this once or twice in a single interaction. If you do it too much, it might make you look nervous and could dry out your lips.
4. Touch your exposed skin to signal you want intimacy. When you touch your skin, it might make your crush think about touching you. Gently trail your fingertips along the skin on your arms, neck, shoulders, and face. Do this for a few seconds at a time whenever you notice your crush looking at you.^[9]
   
   • For example, you might touch your cheek and then slide your fingers down your neck. Similarly, you might graze your fingers along your forearm or across your chest.
   • You don’t need to constantly rub your skin. A little touching looks suggestive, but constantly rubbing your skin might make your crush think you’re itchy.
5. Stroke your tie, collar, or necklace if you don’t have exposed skin. Playing with your accessories can be a great alternative to touching your skin. Pull your tie between your fingers, adjust your collar, or glide your fingers along your necklace chain. You could also try playing with your shirt sleeves or earrings, as well.^[10]
   
   • Do this slowly to hold your crush’s attention.

[Edit]Interacting with Your Crush

1. Angle your body toward your crush to show you’re into them.^[11] Whether you’re next to them or across the room, shift your body so it’s facing your crush. This subtle move aligns you with them, which says “I’m interested.” Watch to see if they angle their body more toward you, as it could mean they’re into you, too.^[12]
   
   • Let’s say you’re at a party with a group of friends. You might turn your body slightly away from your friends and more toward the person you’re crushing on.
   • Similarly, you might be waiting for your coffee at a counter when someone catches your eye. Instead of facing the counter, slightly turn to the side so you’re facing the person you like.
2. Move within of your crush to start a friendly interaction. You don’t want to invade someone’s personal space, but getting closer to them can start an interaction with them. Generally, a zone of about of space around a person is considered the “social” zone. Getting in this zone helps you get their attention so you can possibly talk to them.^[13]
   
   • Any closer than is considered personal space. Once you’re chatting with your crush, they may be comfortable with you crossing into this space, but don’t force it. Always respect people’s personal space.
3. Touch the person casually on their arm or shoulder. Intentional touches send a message that you might be into the person you're touching. Plus, a touch will get your crush’s attention immediately. Lightly touch the person on their arm, shoulder, or maybe their upper back. Quickly move your hand away so they don’t feel uncomfortable.^[14]
   
   • Once you touch them, you’ll need to say something. It could be a simple, “Hello” or “Excuse me.” You could also ask a question like, “Do you know what’s on the lunch menu for today?” or “How are you enjoying the party?”
   • Watch how the person reacts. If they don’t seem to like it, say, “I’m sorry,” and give them some space.
4. Bump into your crush “accidentally” if you’re too afraid to touch them. Touching someone is a pretty direct way to flirt with them, so you might be too shy for it. That’s totally okay! Instead, you might pretend to accidentally brush up against them or run into them. Quickly smile and apologize to start an interaction.^[15]
   
   • You might brush past them and say, “Oh, I’m sorry. Did you drop anything?”
   • If you’re at a party, bar, or dance, you could bump into them and say something like, “Oops! So sorry! I think the music is getting to me.”

[Edit]Having a Flirty Conversation

1. Lean towards the person when you’re talking to them. When you lean in, it shows the person you really care about what they have to say. Keep your back straight, but hinge your hips forward so your upper body is closer to your crush. If they lean in toward you, too, they might like you back.^[16]
   
   • Try not to slouch forward toward them, as this can be a sign you’re not interested in what they’re saying. Always maintain good posture.
2. Mirror the person’s body language to create a connection. When you mirror someone’s body language, it makes them see similarities between you and them. This can help your crush see you as a good romantic match. Do your best to imitate how they’re standing, what gestures they’re using, and how they’re expressing themself.^[17]
   
   • For instance, you might tilt your head to the same side as they do or copy their hand gestures. You can also laugh or nod along with them.
3. Use bigger gestures to hold their attention. Big gestures make you seem excited and more engaged, which signals to your crush that you like them. Move your hands and arms while you’re talking to help illustrate your points. This will keep their eyes on you the entire time.^[18]
   
   • For instance, you might use your fingers to number a list. If you’re telling a funny story, you could wave your arms back and forth to make yourself look animated. When telling a story about a mishap, you might use your arms to push away from your body.
   • Practice gesturing in front of a mirror or on video so it comes naturally to you.
4. Keep your arms open and at your sides when you’re not gesturing. Open body language makes you seem approachable and engaged, while closed body language shuts people out. Don’t fold your arms across your chest while you’re chatting up your crush. Instead, place your arms down at your sides unless you’re gesturing.^[19]
   
   • If you cross your arms, your crush may think you’re bored or don’t want to talk to them.
5. Maintain good posture so you appear more confident. Good posture makes you look cool, calm, and collected, even if you’re super nervous. Keep your back straight and your shoulders rolled back. Additionally, tilt your chin up and look straight forward.^[20]
   
   • Make sure you don’t slump, even if it’s just leaning against something.

How to Take a Mirror Selfie

Choosing a backdrop, holding your phone, and using your front camera to snap the perfect pic

A mirror selfie is the perfect way to flaunt an outfit, flex your good-hair day, or just give your friends and followers a quick update on your day. But taking mirror selfies is an art, and there are some tricks to getting it just right. The best mirror selfie looks effortless and casual, but still flexes your clothes or your surroundings. We’ll give you some vital tips and pointers on how to set up your shot, hold your phone to frame your face, and sell the snap with the perfect pose to make sure your mirror selfies are the best they can be, every time.

[Edit]Things You Should Know

• Tidy your space and clean your mirror to remove any distractions or unflattering grain from the shot.
• Set up your mirror in a spot with lots of natural light, or else turn on a few soft, ambient lamps. Avoid harsh fluorescent or overhead lights.
• Hold your phone no lower than your chin to flatter your face, and look either into the lens or at your phone screen.
• Strike a dynamic pose to show off your fit and your figure—place one leg slightly out in front, get into a squat, or take a seat to make the selfie more interesting.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Setting the Scene

1. Use a mirror that frames either your face or your outfit. Pick a mirror that’s big enough to fit as much of you in the shot as you want. For instance, a small wall mirror works if you just want a selfie of your face, whereas a taller mirror is prime if you want to capture a full outfit.^[1]
   
   • Keep in mind that you can crop your selfies, too. If you just want your face in the picture, but you only have a giant wall mirror, crop the rest of your body out of the photo after you take it.
   • Also use a decorative mirror to add some flair to the photo, or a mirror with vanity lights for some flattering, built-in lighting.
   • Unconventional mirrors like a car’s rear view or the outside of a glass building also make for interesting shots.
2. Tidy parts of the room visible in the mirror. If you’re taking your selfie in your bedroom or your own house, make sure the space that will be showing in the picture is organized and clean—put away any dirty clothes on the floor, make your bed, and check that anything potentially embarrassing, like your life-sized celebrity crush poster, is hidden.^[2]
   
3. Set up the mirror in a spot with good lighting. Natural lighting is the most flattering for pictures. To take advantage of this, open the blinds or curtains on windows to allow more light in and try to take your picture during the day when it’s sunny outside. If it’s nighttime, recreate natural lighting by turning on soft, warm lamps instead of bright overhead lights. Also make sure the light is angled toward you, and not toward the mirror.^[3]
   
   • Avoid fluorescent or harsh white lights, which dull your skin.
   • Make sure that the light isn’t directly at your back. Otherwise, you’ll just be a silhouette. Adjust the light if possible so that it hits you in the front.

[Edit]Framing Your Face

1. Look into the camera lens through the mirror for a more flattering pose. Looking into the lens of your camera keeps you from concentrating too hard on the phone screen, which is handy when you want to avoid less flattering expressions like frowns or furrowed brows. It also lets your face and eyes be the focal point, which screams confidence!^[4]
   
   • To give a smolder worthy of a runway model, smile with your eyebrows raised, then drop the smile but keep those eyebrows up. This opens up your face and accentuates your natural facial contours.
2. Look at the phone screen instead for a more casual look. If you’re going for a more low-key selfie, go ahead and look at your phone to line up and snap the pic, just make sure your phone is close to but not blocking your face. This pose gives off the vibe that you’re not taking this too seriously, and has a more spur-of-the-moment feel.^[5]
   
   • Give a slight smirk or a playful pout to get the perfect expression as you look into your phone screen.
3. Hold your phone close to your face at a slight downward angle. Make sure your phone is no lower than chin height, and keep it closer to your face than to the mirror, which helps to flatten your face and avoid a fish-eye lens look. Then, create the illusion of length and height by tilting it slightly downward. This slims up your features and creates a more striking and flattering angle.^[6]
   
   • The higher you hold your phone, the longer and slimmer you’ll look.
   • Play around with different angles and heights to determine what works best for your selfie.
4. Hide your face with your phone to focus on your outfit or setting. If you don't want your face showing, hold your phone directly in front of it so that everything but your hair is covered. Place your phone under your chin and angle it downwards until you can’t see your head in the shot. These let people know that this pic is more about your fit, and less about the mug.^[7]
   
   • Hide your face in a selfie if you don’t want to worry about what your facial expression looks like.
5. Use the front camera for a cool double shot. Lean against the mirror and switch your phone to the front-facing camera, which is the one you use to take a regular selfie. Hold the phone out in front of you so that the shot captures both you and your reflection for an artsy effect.
   
6. Hold your phone out to the side if you don’t want it in the shot. To snap a selfie without actually having your phone in the picture, stretch your arm out to the side and angle the phone in sharply towards your body. Check your screen to make sure the angle is correct and the phone is out of the view of the mirror before taking your picture.
   
   • You can always crop the phone out of your picture afterwards.
   • If you don’t want to outstretch your arm as far, stand more to the edge of the mirror. This makes it easier to angle the phone so it’s out of sight.

[Edit]Perfecting Your Pose

1. Place one leg out in front of you for a longer figure. Finding the right pose is key to the mirror selfie. To get into one of these leg-lengthening poses, imagine that you’re taking a baby step forward. Step slightly forward out to one side or cross one foot in front of the other. Then, point the toe of your forward foot to lengthen your legs even more.^[8]
   
   • Don't step out too far in front or too far out to the side, which might look a bit unnatural in the final shot.
2. Stand facing forward with your legs slightly apart to show off your outfit. To highlight what you’re wearing, place your feet about hip-width apart and square your shoulders so you’re directly facing the mirror. Stand up straight with your shoulders back so you don’t look slouched over in the picture. This gives everyone a good look at what you're wearing, and lends you a dynamic, interesting stance.^[9]
   
   • Let your arm hang naturally at your side, or place one hand on your hip to give a little more attitude.
3. Sit in front of the mirror for a laid-back selfie. Have a seat to let everyone know you’re just vibing here. For example, sit cross-legged on the floor in front of the mirror or pull up a chair and throw a leg over the armrest.^[10]
   
   • Keep your back straight to fight off an unflattering slouch.
4. Put your foot on the counter to spice up a bathroom mirror selfie. Bathroom selfies are classic, but can be tricky to make interesting. To make your pose more dynamic, throw a leg up onto the counter and rest your elbow on that knee. The extreme pose draws in viewers, and as a bonus, shows off your footwear in the process.^[11]
   
5. Pop a squat to show off your figure. Turn to the side, then lower yourself to the floor while remaining on the balls of your feet. Keep your back straight and extend the foot nearest the mirror out just a bit. This is another great pose for featuring your outfit of the day, and flatters your form for extra glam.^[12]
   
6. Take a lot of pictures in a variety of poses and angles. More photos means more choices! Snap multiple photos in all different poses or while holding your phone at different heights and angles. This will ensure you have at least one that you like and gives you plenty of options to choose from.^[13]
   
   • To automatically take more than one picture at a time, use the burst mode by holding down the shutter button or the volume button on your phone.
