Does Starbucks Charge to Add Milk?

From May 2023 onwards, Starbucks charges an additional $1 for any drink that is customized with no water in their Refresher beverages. This is because the company says it requires extra ingredients and labor to make these drinks without water.

Previously, Starbucks charged an additional 70 cents for all plant-based milk, including soy, almond, coconut, and oat milk. However, the company has since dropped this surcharge in the UK, France, and Germany. There is no word yet on when or if Starbucks will drop the surcharge in the US.

Few More App Customizations

Starbucks has, after all, been a master of customization ever since it started the first coffee house. Here are some other customizations you can make to your regular or eventful beverages from anywhere in the country.

• Juice flavors: How fun would it be if you could switch out juices in Starbucks juice blend mixtures and just add whatever strikes their fancy? Well, now you can! Starbucks offers switches between juices like peach, apple guava, blueberry blend, and more.

• Sweetener of choice: Unsurprisingly, the regular choice of sweetener in most Starbucks drinks is nothing but ice. Thankfully, you can add options like Vanilla bean powder, honey, saccharin, splenda, etc. You can also add regular sugar and have a classic drink.

• Exciting toppings: toppings make the Starbucks drink stand out from anything else in the world. Which one is your favorite? Caramel drizzle, cinnamon powder, or cascara topping? The good news is if you want, you can get all of them, plus add some web cream as the base!

• Balanced syrups: We are all fans of balanced, natural syrups that give just the right flavor without any artificial smell or color. The app will easily let you choose from a long catalog of names like peppermint syrup, toffee nut syrup, sugar-free vanilla syrup, classic Starbucks syrup, etc., and let you select the number of pumps you want!

Is the Starbucks App Better Than Physical Pick-Up?

Users cannot add milk to any drink of choice on the Starbucks app. There are several drinks available under the Starbucks catalog that are not made from milk at all. Similarly, many other customization options are restricted to certain drinks only. 

If you have an affinity for some crazy experimentation with your Starbucks, it’s best to visit in person and request your barista to make it for you.

At the same time, the Starbucks app is better than a physical pick-up for those who are busy with work and would love a little caffeine boost to appear magically in front of their eyes at the right time.
