Starbucks handcrafted menu (Items on the Starbucks handcrafted menu, Price list + More information)
All drinks served at Starbucks belong to one of two categories: brewed or handcrafted. Brewed drinks need little preparation, while drinks on the Starbucks handcrafted menu require detailed readying behind the counter.
If you are a Starbucks regular, chances are that you have enjoyed a handcrafted beverage. I must confess I started paying attention to handcrafted beverages because of the opportunity to earn points on the reward program from them. For me it is a win-win situation: I get to enjoy my usual treats and get paid to do it. I have found out I can do this for all my coffee preferences, and frappuccinos. My tea-loving sister gets points too, as the teas she orders need customization to meet her health-conscious lifestyle. I am now on a ‘hunt’ for point earners, come along as I explore the Starbucks handcrafted menu to find out more.
