They brew espresso shots, pour over ice, and add water. If you're talking about cold brewed coffee, they soak the coffee grounds (not espresso, usually their Pike Peak roast coffee) in cold water for 12 hours or so.

Why does Starbucks iced coffee taste different?
Starbucks roast coffee beans are mass produced, usually over roasted (burnt).

You need to tell them how many pumps of vanilla to make it taste like you want.
How does Starbucks cold brew their coffee?
