I went to my local Starbucks and asked the barista to walk me through exactly what's different from yesterday in their drinks.

She showed me three changes: A richer mix on the espresso machine, smaller steamer pitchers, and shot glasses into which all espresso is now poured first, so they can check it before serving it into a cup.

(And I have to brag: I can't find anyone else who actually REPORTED the story and got all 3 changes.)
