What is the blonde drink at Starbucks?

Luckily, you can find a variety of blonde drinks at Starbucks, I go over almost all of them below. Blonde (or Cinnamon) is the type of coffee that has been roasted less time than medium and dark. Its colour is peachy and lighter than the other two roasts, hence the name. It’s a name Starbcuks used first.

A coffee afficionado states this about blonde espresso:

Blonde espresso can mean a couple of things, but most commonly, it refers to a lighter roast colour.
With all other things being equal (time since roast, grind, contact time, water temp etc) lighter roasted coffee is less soluble than darker roasted. So you will get less caffeine, and reduced bitter roast flavours. The blonde espresso will taste less bitter and have a lighter body.

What tastes good with blonde espresso?

Luckily, blonde espresso goes well with a bunch of things including almond milk and vanilla syrup. 

I highly recommend making a delicious cappuccino or latte and add a pump of vanilla syrup to give your brew a slightly sweeter taste. If you’re really into proper caffeinated coffee, you can also use blonde coffee beans to brew filter coffee, it has a more intense flavour. Do you know how to reheat Starbucks coffee?

But keep in mind that the blonde espresso grinding for espresso machines (as it’s for French Press espresso) is different to dripping coffee makers.
