Starbucks drinks can be painfully piping hot, depending on how you take your coffee or tea. Instead of waiting hours to enjoy it or watering it down with ice, order your drink at "kids' temperatures" or a specific temperature, even.


Starbucks brews kids drinks like hot chocolate at a drinkably warm 130 degrees. You can order any drink like that or, as Michelle Albright-Peters of the So Wonderful, So Marvelous blog learned from a Starbucks barista, simply by asking for a drink at 140 degrees.

I'm not sure how they manage it with coffee and black teas, since they have to be brewed properly at 200 degrees or 212 degrees, or if it takes more time to get your coffee made this way, but it's worth giving a try if Starbucks drinks are always too hot for you.
