Starbucks Brewed Coffee Menu With Prices
Brewed coffee is the cheapest drink at Starbucks and the backbone of the whole menu: fresh-batch roasts from about $3.35 a cup, 5 calories black, and free refills for Rewards members while you sit in-store. This 2026 menu lists every roast with prices per size, from Blonde and Pike Place to the seasonal dark roasts and decaf.
The choice is really about caffeine and body: Blonde Roast is the lightest AND strongest at about 360 mg in a Grande, Pike Place medium roast is the balanced daily cup at 310 mg, and dark roasts trade caffeine for smoky depth. The Caffe Misto, half coffee and half steamed milk, turns any of them into a budget latte.

Which Roast Should You Order?
For maximum caffeine per dollar
Grande Blonde Roast: 360 mg for about $4.15. Nothing on the menu comes close.
For the balanced daily cup
Pike Place. Cocoa and toasted nut notes, medium body, the flavor Starbucks built its name on.
For dark and smoky
Caffe Verona year-round or the rotating seasonal dark. Pairs with anything chocolate.
For a latte on a budget
The Caffe Misto: half brewed coffee, half steamed milk, any syrup you like, about a dollar less than a latte.

FAQs About Starbucks Brewed Coffee
What is the cheapest coffee at Starbucks?
A Short Pike Place at about $3.35, and it comes with free refills in-store for Rewards members, effectively bottomless coffee for the price of one cup.
Which brewed coffee has the most caffeine?
Blonde Roast at roughly 360 mg per Grande and 475 mg per Venti, the strongest regularly available drink at Starbucks.
Does Starbucks always have decaf brewed?
Decaf Pike Place brews all day at most stores; some switch to pour-over decaf in the evening, which takes a few extra minutes but tastes fresher.
What is a Caffe Misto?
Half brewed coffee, half steamed milk, essentially a French cafe au lait. It takes any syrup and is the best latte substitute under $4.
Is Pike Place bitter?
It is a smooth medium roast, less bitter than dark roasts. If you find it strong, the Misto or a splash of cream mellows it; if you find it weak, go Blonde for brightness or dark for body.
Can I buy the roasts as beans?
Yes, most brewed roasts sell as whole bean bags with free grinding; see the Whole Bean menu for the full 2026 lineup.
Is “Guatemala Casi Cielo” available as a brewed coffee in 2026?
Yes. Guatemala Casi Cielo is the featured seasonal medium roast for the Winter/Spring 2026 season. While it is always available as whole bean, many stores rotate it as the “Drip of the Day” several times a week during February and March.
Why does Blonde Roast have more caffeine than Dark Roast?
This is a common coffee myth that needs correcting. Because Blonde Roast beans are roasted for a shorter time, they remain denser and retain more of their natural caffeine. Dark Roasts like the 1971 Roast are roasted longer, which breaks down more caffeine but creates a much bolder, more intense flavor.
What is the “1971 Heritage Donut” pairing?
The 1971 Heritage Donut is a dark cocoa-glazed donut specially created by the culinary team to complement the toasted sugar and caramel notes of the 1971 Roast. You’ll often see them promoted together as the “Heritage Pair” with a small discount.
Is there a “Sugar-Free” way to flavor my brewed coffee?
Absolutely. In 2026 you can add Sugar-Free Vanilla or the brand-new Sugar-Free Caramel to any brewed coffee at no extra charge. For a natural option, most condiment bars now offer Stevia and Monk Fruit sweetener blends.
The Bottom Line
Brewed coffee is the deal hiding in plain sight: the cheapest cup, the most caffeine (Blonde), free refills, and a 100-Star redemption. If your order is secretly “just good coffee,” this page IS the menu. Level up to espresso on the Hot Coffee menu or take the roasts home via the Whole Bean menu.
