So long ice cubes. Starbucks is switching up the ice in its iced coffee. The chain plans to swap out its current ice machines for nugget (or, pellet, if you prefer) ice, but you might have to wait a little before you see it at your local store. Yep, that’s the same kind enthusiasts gush over at Sonic, Chick-Fil-A or, in some cases, hospitals.
The chain says the rollout will take place over the next few years, with locations that have a high number of cold drink orders getting the softer, more compressed ice first.
