Starbucks in Qatar - using UHT milk
By Milly-Milly •
All starbucks are now using UHT milk to make their coffees. It is disgusting. Everyone needs to make sure they fill out a complaint form if they go there. They charge top (dollar) riyal for their coffee and cut costs by using long life milk. Disgusting. Shame on you Starbucks. I will definitely not be going back.
Met somebody in a Starbucks today; had a Hot Chocolate and they 'appeared to use' fresh milk:-/
It could be said they have seen this post and decided to decant the UHT milk into normal looking milk cartons.
I doubt it though.
In New York (when I was there) Starbucks used UHT milk.
Perhaps they are going back to the original format :-)
Some people prefer UHT milk.
Anyway - let's all boycott Starbucks in Doha - that will stop those pesky Starbucks billionaires;-/
respond intelligently even ur unintelligent.
we agree. At project site, an engineer can't live without it! Lol!
flor..Nescafe 3 in 1? Yumm, can't live without it!
I agree, and that's why I object to Starbucks using a UHT milk that has powdered milk as an ingredient.

mandi - UHT has nothing to do with powdered milk. most uht brands i use have milk, and nothing more. if a particular brand advertises powdered milk as one of its constituents, don't buy it.
why do u expect? a fresh cup of milk direct from the boobs of the ghoat? :P
why cant there be milk pipelines
I thought Starbucks was a zionist company.

Anyway.....where does the milk come from anyway??? I've never seen anything remotely bovine-like here.....probably best to drink milk thats been fried to within an inch of its life!!!
The answer for your UHT Milk

Well my friend, If UHT milk is not your prefer taste for milk.
You got other options as replacement:
1- The Doha Animal shelter has a big bull(Male cow) you could always milk him. That will be close enough for cow milk replacement.
2-Darude could always bring you some Camel milk from his farm.
3- Britexpat knows the exact location for sheep or goat milk.
4-As for me, well my friend, I could always recommend you some "Chupa Cabra milk."
hmmmm looks like i will have to force some one to milk the camel this time :P
He is also making deals with local camel farms.
but goats buffaloes also
I heard that Mr. Starbucks himself has read this thread, and will be flying in cows on his private jet, so that Qatar's Starbucks customers will get the freshest milk for their coffees possible.
It will be called FUTC...from udder to cup.
who forced buy your coffee and make it in home
i heard starbucks is opening up a new starbucks inside the existing starbucks.
Breast milk is still best for babies. lol.
How kind of you, hazmat! I may be pasty but I'm certainly not fat! And I just object to powdered milk being sold as fresh.

What's disgusting about UHT milk? The only disgusting thing I get to see at Starbucks and other coffee shops are fat pasty white women.
If you are looking for a fuller flavour Italian blend rather than the American milder blend, try Dean and Deluca, or the cafe in the fardan tower that serves Illy coffee. They are the best I have found so far :)
That's why i prefer columbus cafe... love their toffee coffee :)
There you have it.. Xena likes it, mandi doesn't..
Comes down as always to a matter of personal taste... .
Starbucks (Doha) is using Nadec UHT milk which has powdered milk as one of its ingredients. It certainly is considerably cheaper than regular milk and I personally do not think Nadec skim milk tastes good at all. I can't believe the Starbuck's mothership would approve of this!
Mandi
Good one ,Thanks Sam
UNDER HEAVY THIGHS......Heeeeeee Heeeee
yes tht is true
bt wt xena posted is also correct
There coffees are still delicious...
UHT or fresh... makes no difference...
Sam, Not very pleasant!
shyte?
Sam, it still tastes shyte though ;o)
perhaps its to do with the high temperatures in the country and the possibility that fresh milk goes off too quickly..
Fresh milk, often referred to as homogenised and pasteurised milk, is sold in the chilled food section of the supermarket. It has a short shelf life and must be kept below 4°C to maintain freshness. Ultra heat treated (UHT) milk, which is sometimes called long-life milk, is slightly different. It has had extra treatment which enables it to be stored at room temperature (as long as it is unopened) for extended periods.
Both fresh milk and UHT milk have undergone pasteurisation and homogenisation before packaging and sale to consumers. Pasteurisation involves heating the milk to 72°C for 15 seconds to kill harmful bacteria that may be present. The milk is rapidly chilled, before homogenisation commences. This involves passing the milk through a fine nozzle to create a smooth, creamy taste and texture.
Fresh milk is then packaged and refrigerated, while UHT milk is exposed to a more powerful heat treatment to inactivate harmful bacteria. This allows the milk to be stored out of the fridge while it is unopened. It is important to chill UHT milk once it has been opened.
can you for once not think with your other head? :-P
Thanks!
Take it black and get ALL the flavour :o)
That is why I always go to Colombiano...:)
oh i thought UHT is...
Ultimate Huge Titties ! :(
It means that they leave the milk outside for a while.
Ultra High Temperature (processed).

excuse my ignorance, but what is UHT milk? :-(
What type of animal is an UHT ?

Nobody forces you to go there!
