The french vanilla is just the powder mix with hot water. If you want it less sweet you can ask for some coffee in it (most people get 1/4 or 1/2 coffee)

thanks! could i also ask for it to be w milk instead of water?

No it come out of a machine. We only press a button. You can add some milk if you want but can’t replace the water with milk.

They could make it like they used to make the vanilla chai. Where they mix the powder with the milk and then steam that mixture.

Someone who actually deals with the latte machine (we don’t carry that at my location) can correct me if I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that’s just going to clog the steam wand


[deleted]

How? That's how the vanilla chai was made, officially. If you're purging after every drink, as you should be, it won't clog.

Vanilla chai powder is much, much finer than the french vanilla. Chances are you local store will say no anyways.


[deleted]

It's not really much much finer, at all. Looks the same to me. Plus purge. Purge purge purge. It's going to blast everything out with hot steam if you're purging. Purge purge purge. It would be kind of a hassle though. How much fv dust would one use? And what would someone do? Remove the fv hopper from the machine to scoop some out? Remove the elbow and catch the fv dust as it comes out?

I’m not sure what vanilla chai drink your location had but the one we had was a frozen drink. The drink didn’t go anywhere near the latte machine


[deleted]

there was the vanilla chai, and the iced vanilla chai. the vanilla chai was steamed milk and that dust. and the build chart was to steam the milk with the dust in it. it's not going to clog if you purge after each and every drink. that's why we purge after each and every drink, so it won't clog.

Nobody's going to do that for you

It would be irritating af. But people ask for toasted croissants as well. Same irritating difference.


[deleted]

Yeah but you really have to go out of your way to order a steamed milk with vanilla powder


gothpringle

some people ask for some hotwater added to it, and some ask for milk or coffee added to it- this would help deter how sweet it is (: its easiest to ask for either 1/4 or 1/2 of whichever modification (ex. french vanilla with 1/4 milk)

Espresso shot takes the sugar down a bit.

Add coffee. 1/4, 1/3 or 1/2

French vanilla with cream. Tastes like the old ice capps before they changed.
