I get a Starbucks maybe once or twice a month. The only one anywhere close to me is inside a grocery store I seldom go to anymore.
I loved Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Brew.
The last couple times I have gotten one - blah. It wasn't as good. I noticed that the barista could now just pull it from a tapper built in to their counter. She said they used to make it themselves, and then mix it with water, etc. Now they just get it in a keg and pull it from the tap.
It doesn't taste great to me anymore. I don't get that "coffee" hit from it.
Is it my store? I know when I order from different Starbucks, the drinks don't always taste the same? Or did their kegging it ruin it?

I think kegging it has definitely made it less pungent, but also my Target Starbucks were always worse then Safeway or the actual store in general. I like my coffee strong, so I have definitely been getting less cold brews since the change. I just make my own, but I miss the fun foams.
