Non-dairy milk lovers, rejoice. Starting next week, Starbucks will stop charging coffee-drinkers who wish to customize their drinks with non-dairy milk options an extra fee, the company announced Wednesday. Starbucks said dropping the extra charge will make "it easier for customers to make their Starbucks beverage their own" by customizing popular drink recipes with non-dairy milk options, including soymilk, oatmilk, almondmilk or coconutmilk, according to the release. By removing the extra charge for non-dairy milks we're embracing all the ways our customers enjoy their Starbucks," Brian Niccol, Starbucks chairman and CEO, said in the release. Substituting a non-dairy milk is the second-most requested customization from customers, according to Starbucks.

Starbucks’ controversial line of olive oil-infused drinks will leave U.S. stores in early November. The lineup of Oleato drinks infused Partanna olive oil into Starbucks’ Caffe Latte, Iced Shaken Espresso and cold foam. Schultz imagined the Oleato line after a trip to Italy, where he saw Sicilians drinking olive oil as a daily ritual. He, too, began drinking olive oil alongside his daily coffee and decided that Starbucks should try to mix the two together. Cafes in China, Italy and Japan will continue to serve the Oleato drinks.

Starbucks' controversial line of olive oil-infused drinks will leave U.S. stores in early November. The decision to remove the Oleato drinks from domestic menus predates newly installed CEO Brian Niccol, who arrived at Starbucks in early September, a company spokesperson said. The lineup of Oleato drinks infused Partanna olive oil into Starbucks' Caffe Latte, Iced Shaken Espresso and cold foam. Schultz imagined the Oleato line after a trip to Italy, where he saw Sicilians drinking olive oil as a daily ritual.

Starting next week, Starbucks customers will no longer pay more for adding non-dairy milk to their orders. The company said the removal of the non-dairy milk surcharge means customers who request it will pay around 10% less than they did previously. Orders with milk substitutions have proliferated at Starbucks in recent years, alongside non-dairy alternatives in grocery stores. Non-dairy milk has become the second most common order modification at Starbucks, behind adding a shot of espresso. Starbucks is scaling back promotional offers through its mobile app to get customers to pay full price for its coffees and teas.

☆ Starbucks will stop charging extra for dairy substitutes
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-30 | by ( Amelia Lucas | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Starbucks said Wednesday that it will remove the surcharge for dairy substitutes, saving some U.S. customers more than 10% on their drinks. Substituting a nondairy milk is the second-most requested customization from customers, trailing only adding a shot of espresso, according to Starbucks. Currently, Starbucks customers can already add up to 4 ounces of a dairy substitute at no extra charge to hot or iced brewed coffee or tea, cold brew and Americano drinks. Starbucks first started serving nondairy milk in 1997, when it added soy milk to menus. In March, three lactose-intolerant women sued Starbucks in federal court, alleging that the surcharge discriminated against customers with allergies.

☆ Starbucks is getting rid of the olive oil coffee that Howard Schultz pushed
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-29 | by ( Jordan Valinsky | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +2 min

New York CNN —Starbucks is eliminating its controversial olive oil-infused drinks from the menu, less than a year after they made their nationwide debut. “Rather than a flavor or a product, it’s really a platform.”Oleato was the brainchild of former CEO Howard Schultz, who got the idea after meeting with an olive oil producer who introduced him to the practice of consuming a tablespoon of olive oil each day. A pair of reviewers posted a video titled “We Tried Starbucks Olive Oil Coffee Drinks and Seriously Regret It.” Others had mixed feelings , but concluded that the drinks seem more like a stunt — something worth trying but not necessarily worth coming back for. The Oleato menu consists of two drinks: an oat milk latte infused with the extra virgin olive oil; and a toffee nut iced shaken espresso with golden foam, which is vanilla sweet cream infused with extra virgin olive oil into a cold foam. Schultz was effusive about the launch, and it was one of his most high-profile projects before leaving his position.

We've tested several for our guide to the best espresso machines, and the Jura Z10 ranks as the best super-automatic espresso machine. The Jura Z10 stands alone in the sea of sub-par automatic espresso machines on the market — though not without a few shortcomings of its own. Read on for our thoughts on the Jura Z10 espresso machine. Owen Burke/Business InsiderIn the end, no fully automatic espresso machine we've tried competes with a quality semi-automatic machine and a perfectly dialed burr grinder. But if convenience is your primary concern and you have the budget for it, the Jura Z10 is the best automatic espresso machine on the market.
