If you’re tired of waiting ten-plus minutes for a Starbucks drink in a cup that more times than not has your misspelled name on it, pay attention – because there’s a very good reason for the delay. The coffee chain’s menu, with its customized drinks containing various shots, syrups, and cold foams, contains more than 383 billion different possibilities just for a latte.

• To try and better solve for this issue, Starbucks recently committed to spending billions of dollars to reinvent its behind-the-counter operation, aiming to shave seconds from the process of making nearly all of its drinks (it’s even shifting to smaller ice cubes because they’re easier to scoop, per Bloomberg).
