Amazon's Alexa can now order your favorite Starbucks latte

As my loved ones will tell you, I have a fairly expensive coffee habit. And Starbucks might have just made it worse by announcing "voice ordering" for the company's iPhone app, as well as Amazon's Alexa. Before I would have to open the Starbucks app and tap in my order, submit it, and wait for the payment to process. But the company's new Starbucks Reorder skill for Alexa will remove much of the order friction by simply allowing me to say, "Alexa, order my Starbucks." Alexa will then ask me about my order, and with that, my coveted Cinnamon Dolce latte will be on its way.
