A not-so-hot hot take: Starbucks's pumpkin cream cold brew is the best seasonal item they've ever made. Here's why we can't stop drinking it:
During the last week of August, when the temperatures in New York City reached nearly 90 degrees and, here in Atlanta, they didn’t drop below 95, Starbucks rolled out its fall beverages. This year, customers were greeted with a surprise: In addition to the now-infamous Pumpkin Spice Latte , consumers could purchase a new, different gourd-infused beverage: something smoother, more refreshing and—most importantly—chilled, the perfect seasonal drink for a world on fire.
What makes this drink so special is the cold foam, a relatively new element that Starbucks rolled out this year for many of its iced beverages, which baristas make by churning low-fat milk in a special big-bladed blender.
I have tasted many iterations of Starbucks’s flavored iced coffees in my day, but I can confidently say the PCCB sticks the landing the best. If you’re a fan of their tapped nitro cold brew, a denser cold-brewed coffee with more caffeine, you can adjust your PCCB order to be made with that instead of the regular cold brew. However, the nitro brew isn’t served with ice. While the lack of melting cubes makes for a richer sip, the PCCB doesn’t taste too great lukewarm. You’ve been warned.
Unlike most of Starbucks’ iced beverages, the PCCB is served with a protective, straw-less lid , which the company rolled out in select regions earlier this year as a first step in working to eliminate plastic straws in their stores. However, if you dive in foam-first without stirring in the cream, which evades the coffee like oil from vinegar, the cold brew will likely struggle to trickle through. So I recommend using a stirrer to incorporate the foam, or bring your own reusable straw.
If you’ve been hesitant to participate in the capitalist, money-grabbing bullshit operation that is Starbucks holiday drinks, I totally understand. This is not a call to throw away the punch-card from your local shop and open a Starbucks Rewards account. Please, for the love of local business and all that is good, keep spending your money at the shop around the corner.
