Making Starbucks Drinks At Home | But Better

So making something like a homemade classic Starbucks Frappuccino seems impossible…well actually it’s not. It’s really easy, you just need some finesse and a little xanthan gum.

Here's a tip I use when I make my frappes at home. If you freeze the coffee in an ice tray and add it with all the other ingredients (I use ice, milk, a little sugar, and caramel) into a blender, you can achieve that nice texture without using xanthan gum or however you spell it. It works every time for me. (:

Can you make a “but better” of Costco food. Chicken bake, hot dogs, etc.

As an avid lover of great coffee, I love Starbucks despite the bad coffee, not because of it. I don't know how to describe it other than liking the vibe. Starbucks was the treat my mom let me have when we went to the mall. My sister took me to Starbucks when we would just drive around town after she turned 16. It's something I always come back to for comfort despite my pallet for coffee improving. Sometimes it's just fun to say a size that doesn't make sense and get a drink that isn't trying so hard.

Starbucks barista here! We don’t use cold brew in our coffee it’s instant espresso roast! Powdered stuff we mix in water!

Starbucks Fraps are made of whole milk, syrup/flavoring, "frap roast" (instant coffee powder and water, you can use shots if you want instead), and "frap base" which is xanthan gum and water

Bruh, I'm barely clinging to life and you want me to roast my own beans

For someone that doesn’t drink coffee.. this might tempt me to change my mind.

Me: Imma try and make this
Joshua: takes out coffee roaster
Me: Ight imma head out

I also use the simple syrup base for my frappucinos. Sugar dissolved in boiled water, and then an added dash of vanilla extract and xanthan gum. (It is surprisingly cheap at my local safeway)

Then i get my milk, my heavy whipping cream, another dash of vanilla extract, a teaspoon of good quality instant coffee, a bunch of ice* 3 Tbsp of simple syrup base, some chocolate syrup because who drinks frappucinos cause they like coffee? And then its ready to blend. Top that bad boyo with whipped cream for extra creaminess baby

*My best result was with chocolate milk frozen into ice cubes. That way, when it melts it doesnt get watery, and i dont put too much chocolate syrup in the og frap

I dont work at starbucks but I think with all the effort i put into drinking these a lot, I should

I work at Starbucks and looked at the ingredients on the strawberry açai base and it’s literally just white grape juice with Color and “natural flavour” so that’s why he couldn’t recreate it

[notquitehim]

"I'm crazy because I bought a coffee roaster just to flex on Starbucks"
That's a perfectly valid and not crazy reason tho

[mariejunarhy]

omg thank you for using the coffee beans from nicaragua its nice to see others love our coffee! i never had better tasting coffe than when im back home

[spiderbouquet]

When I worked at Starbs my favorite thing to do was make a small vanilla bean frap using half and half instead of whole milk to make it more like ice cream, and I’d blend it only half way so that there were still chunky gritty pieces of ice in it (personal preference, I like crunching on ice lol) then I’d dump it into a grand cup and pour two shots of espresso on top. Good god I loved that drink.

if you haven’t make a “Olive Garden bread sticks, but better.” I would love to see that

99% of this vid was Josh hating on the pink drink.

For me, when it comes to frappuccino's, it really depends on how well the coffee is. If it's just a cheap mass produced coffee, I want more of the sweetness to where it's more like a milkshake. However, if the coffee already has a real nice flavor to it, the frappuccino should be a nice mix. Kinda hard to explain though.
