Starbucks adds basic espresso-what's the taste of Blonde Espresso? The comments of the masses lit up!

For years, people have generally complained about Starbucks coffee: its taste has been burnt out. Now, Starbucks has added a new espresso for those who think its original blend is too strong.

On Tuesday, Starbucks stores in the United States began offering the golden espresso, the first new coffee variant on its American menu, since it entered business 40 years ago.

Starbucks tested the golden espresso in Canada last year and said it would be available in more than 8000 locations. Customers can choose Starbucks specialty espresso or Starbucks blondeespresso.

According to my barista, I usually order decaffeinated coffee only in caffeinated varieties.

Chris, president of Starbucks retail in the United States. "We want our customers to experience our perfection for them every time," Engskov said in a statement.

Starbucks said the new blondeespresso will sell coffee machines in its stores and coffee pods.

Wait a minute, you might say, there is no such thing as blondeespresso in Italy. You're right. Starbucks products are mixed beans from Latin America and East Africa.

How does that taste? This is definitely a big shift from traditional Starbucks coffee.

On Tuesday morning, I ordered two of the golden drinks I often get: an iced American and an ordinary latte.

This difference is immediately apparent in icy America-espresso adds water and ice to make iced coffee. I usually put a bag of raw sugar, but there is no milk.

The blue-eyed America of blonde is significantly smoother than the traditional ice America. It lacks the bitter taste and you often get the first normal Starbucks version of sip.

But the taste is not very obvious. It tastes like an ordinary ice America after the ice has melted, diluting the original espresso flavor.

Usually, when this happens in normal ice America, I add some ice. But with a blonde blue-eyed ice America, adding more ice may lead to a drink that is almost tasteless.

I like blonde's blue-eyed latte even more. Here, the smoothness of the new espresso blends perfectly with steamed milk. It tastes a lot like the coffee milk I ordered in Rhode Island.

If you like dictator coffee syrup in your milk or hot chocolate, you will enjoy a cup of blonde latte.

Starbucks says it is working to introduce lighter tasting coffee. It already offers a golden blended brewed regular coffee. It says it thinks customers will like to try new hybrids.

I think blondeespresso is the perfect coffee for beginners for high school and college students who spend endless time in Starbucks stores, studying and socializing.

It may also be a way to introduce younger children to coffee, although I will pay attention to it because of caffeine. And it will work well in lighter summer drinks.

The only danger I can see about Starbucks is that it took four years to adapt to the taste of coffee. They may feel that their version is getting weaker and weaker when blonde is used.

On the other hand, diehard Starbucks lovers may not be the target market for the new blonde variants. They're gonna want to do their best.
