SEATTLE—Behind a secure door at Starbucks Corp. headquarters lies a technology lab where the chain is plotting its renewal. That includes rethinking the onerous path its baristas must take to make a Frappuccino. Inside the 20,000-square-foot space called the Tryer Center, baristas working in a mock-up of a Starbucks cafe walked back and forth between refrigerators, blenders and syrups to make a single blended coffee topped with cold foam and caramel drizzle. They asked if the company could build kitchens that bring the equipment closer together and make syrup pumps, milk dispensers and ice bins that work better.

Insider spoke to nine US Starbucks workers to hear their thoughts on the announcement. Workers told Insider that they want changes that will make their jobs easier, but not at the expense of their craft. And a new system for making cold brew is even more of an overhaul: So called "cold-pressed" technology will allow baristas to make cold brew in a few seconds compared to the 20 hours it now takes to brew the stuff. And cold drinks are important to the company: Iced drinks now make up about 70% of Starbucks' sales, CEO Howard Schultz said recently. "I think the new cold brewer will save a ton of time and tedious work," a supervisor from Detroit told Insider.

Iced drinks now make up about 70% of Starbucks' sales, Schultz said, and they're particularly popular with younger Gen Z and Millenial customers, driving sales growth. To better accommodate this demand for iced drinks, Starbucks unveiled new, faster methods of making cold brew and frappuccinos at investor day. The company is adding its new proprietary Siren System that it says will cut the time and effort needed to make cold drinks. The Siren System includes a custom ice dispenser, milk dispenser, and faster blenders to expedite the process of making frappuccinos and other cold drinks. The process to make a grande Pink Drink will go from 52 seconds and 11 steps to 24 seconds and 9 steps, Starbucks says.

Silicon Valley, perhaps even more than the rest of corporate America, has long been engaged in a two-sided battle over the pursuit of happiness. In the Silicon Valley that emerges on Blind, the engineers who strive for work-life balance are just as burned out as the late-night grinders. But Silicon Valley has always overindexed for Optimizers. If this is Silicon Valley today, nobody's happy, and everybody's burnt. Stereotypically, Silicon Valley engineers are grinders.
