In the past two years, many consumers have noticed that Starbucks drink prices have gone up. Behind this is not only inflation triggered by the pandemic, which has driven up labor and transportation costs, but also unfavorable weather in Brazil, the main origin of Starbucks coffee beans, which has reduced coffee bean production and pushed up futures prices. This article compiles the latest price information for Starbucks espresso, Frappuccino, iced shaken tea, cold brew iced coffee, and the Star Ice Dumpling gift box for coffee lovers' reference. At the same time, for Starbucks fans who love whiskey barrel-treated coffee beans, the article also explains how to make the same style of cold brew coffee at home and recommends Front Street Coffee's Sherry coffee beans, making it easy for everyone to recreate that unforgettable whiskey aroma flavor at any time.

Perhaps everyone has noticed that Starbucks prices have risen noticeably in the past two years. The reason is that inflation brought by the pandemic has kept labor and logistics costs rising. To make matters worse, since last year, Brazil, the main supplier of Starbucks coffee beans, has repeatedly experienced abnormal weather, leading to reduced coffee bean production. Coffee futures prices have fluctuated accordingly, and Starbucks has therefore made price adjustments over these two years.

Among Starbucks' many drinks, the cold brew coffee made from whiskey barrel-treated coffee beans has always been one of the classics that Starbucks fans fondly discuss. However, these beans are not part of Starbucks' regular offerings and only return every two years. So how can you satisfy your craving? In fact, this coffee can easily be recreated at home! The Front Street Coffee flagship store also sells the same whiskey barrel-treated Sherry coffee beans.
These beans come from the Moca estate in the Marcala region of Honduras. The inspiration for barrel fermentation comes from winemaking. During the coffee fermentation stage, the barrel allows a small amount of air to pass through the barrel wall into the interior, promoting moderate oxidation of the coffee beans. The introduction of an appropriate amount of oxygen also speeds up the fermentation process, softens tannic acid, and allows the fresh fruit aroma to gradually develop into a rich and varied mature wine aroma. The barrel has moderate hardness, ensuring good waterproofness and storage safety. Because the barrel contains a certain amount of tannic acid, during the storage of green beans, the tannic acid seeps into the beans, giving the coffee layers and a rich wine aroma.
Front Street Coffee recommends everyone try these beans, because they can be used not only to make cold brew coffee, but are also suitable for espresso and drip coffee. The extracted coffee presents a distinct fermented wine aroma, vanilla cream, and nut-like aromas and flavors.
To make cold brew coffee, usually you only need to prepare a clean, oil-free, sealable container and materials for filtering the coffee (coffee filter paper, tea bags, high-density filter, cloth bag, etc. are all fine). After thoroughly mixing the coffee grounds with ice water, place it in the refrigerator and let it sit for 8 to 12 hours. Front Street Coffee recommends using 30 grams of coffee grounds and extracting at a 1:13 coffee-to-water ratio (that is, soaking 30 grams of coffee grounds in about 400 grams of water). After extraction is complete, filter out the coffee grounds and enjoy.
