Starbucks cups are often photographed and instagrammed frequently. Have you ever looked at these popular drinks closely?
You’ve probably noticed the lines at the bottom of your cup. Have you ever wondered what the lines on Starbucks cups are for? This is what we discovered when we looked at it…
What do the lines on Starbucks Cups mean?
Starbucks baristas use the printed lines on their handcrafted cups to determine the exact amount of ingredients in your drink. This makes it easy to determine how many ingredients to add to your drink and where to place them in the cup to make sure they have enough room for ice.
This article will examine the lines used in Starbuck drinks. It will explain which cups use them and what they mean.
What are the Lines on Starbucks Cups Used for?
Starbucks drinks are exclusive to Starbucks. The lines on the cups indicate unique drink creations.
They are actually pouring instructions for specific ingredients, and marking the process to make complex handcrafted drinks.
These lines are required by baristas for the following reasons
- Add the right ingredients
- To order the ingredients correctly
- To make sure there is enough space for ice
- To ensure that the drink is properly “finished” (or polished).
- Make sure the drinks are made quickly and correctly each time.
What do Starbucks Baristas Do With The Cup Lines?
Starbucks baristas are often under pressure and use cup markings to measure, pour, then blend their drinks. Clear markings on cups make it easier for them to do this quickly than measuring each ingredient individually and scooping them out.
For example, to make a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato you must add the ingredients in the correct order.
To make a Starbucks Caramel Macchiato, the syrup must be added first. Next, the milk, ice and caramel sauce topping should be added. These (and many other specialty drinks) can be made quickly and efficiently using ingredient lines.

To reach the middle line, the milk, strawberry syrup, and ice mix are added. This means that the amount of milk used will vary depending on how large the cup is – tall, grand or venti. Finally, the drink can be topped with whipped topping.
What are the lines on the cups?
The cups of Starbucks have lines that indicate the fluid ounces. There will be a mark for ice if the drink is cold.
A venti cup (591ml) has 8 fluid ounces at the top, 4 at the bottom, and 4 at the top. The top line is for the ice, and liquid ingredients cannot be added to it.
These lines do not indicate how much liquid you have in your drink. They are a way to tell how many cups of each component of the drink you need.
What are the lines on my reusable Starbucks cup?
The printed lines on the reusable cup are decorative and serve only as an icon for Starbucks reminders.
It’s likely that you’ll notice that Starbucks baristas won’t take your cup and make a drink from it. They make one at the counter, then pour it into your reusable cups.
Why is it important for Starbucks baristas to follow the printed lines on the cups?
Starbucks drinks are designed to be exact. They name these drinks and post them on both their offline and online menus. Customers expect a drink to look “perfectly right” when they choose it.
Each Starbucks handcrafted beverage has an appealing and attractive appearance.
These menus showcase drinks with precise layers, clear colours, contoured surfaces and pure textures.
These characteristics indicate freshness and coolness as well as clarity. They also suggest energy, refreshment, and health.
Many milk drinks have brightly colored bases that indicate rich flavour and aroma. As they rise up the glass, these bases will blend slowly but not completely.
Blended versions can be infused into a variety of flavours, like the Iced Matcha Green Tea Latte. Some drinks can be blended completely, but you need to use ice to break down the colour wall. Other drinks are made in layers.
What would happen if Starbucks Baristas didn’t use the Printed Cup Lines
If all Starbucks drinks were simply mixed in bulk and served immediately after ordering, then the only visual elements that consumers could use to make their decisions would be colour and size. This isn’t enough.
It is important to highlight artisan drinks by determining the clarity or opaqueness of the liquid.
Baristas should be able recreate advertised drinks accurately, repeatedly, and with the same standards each time.
