Huge Secrets The Big Coffee Chains Tried To Hide

The next time you stop in to pick up a latte at your favorite coffee shop, there are a few things you might want to know that have been hidden from you. Here’s a look behind the counter at the secrets of some popular coffee chains.

Sometimes you wake up in the morning, but you just can’t seem to get over that sleepy brain fog. So you head to the coffee shop and you order a larger cup than usual, thinking that the extra caffeine is exactly what you need to perk you up. Unfortunately, it might not work out that way.

According to experts quoted by Market Watch, you might get more caffeine if you order a larger size of plain black coffee. But when it comes to drinks like cappuccinos, you get the same amount of actual coffee no matter what size cup you order. For example, Starbucks’ caramel macchiato contains two shots of espresso whether it’s grande or venti. The extra space in the cup is just filled with extra foam or milk.

The same goes for Peet’s Coffee, where both the small and medium-sized lattes contain two espresso shots. To avoid this, don’t rely on the menu for help. The artsy descriptions of the drinks usually don’t include how many shots of espresso are in each cup, so the only way to know is to ask the barista directly.
