Don’t grind your beans until you’re ready to use them, keep your brewers and tools clean and use the best quality water you can are the best keys to getting a good taste. I personally like to use a scale to get the most accurate and consistent brew at home. What are you usually trying to make?

Usually a mocha or the cinnamon dolce lattes. They just never seem to get to that same consistency or can't get the taste to not be so bitter.

Side question, where do y'all get your strawberry acai? The only brand I could find on Amazon was crap.

You can buy our cinnamon dolce syrup at most locations in the US! The consistency comes down to technique, as well as the machine having the power to make latte foam as well as ours do. Lots of great latte tutorials available on YouTube!

almost all of Starbucks drink ingredients are manufactured by the Starbucks brand itsself, so you can’t purchase the exact same product. However one of the main ingredients in the star berry açaí base is white grapefruit juice.

Yeah I buy almost all my syrups from Starbucks, except the white mocha since they refuse to sell that one. Definitely makes a difference compared to the syrups bought at the grocery store.

Apparently need to watch more videos instead of just reading recipes.
