There is a growing debate over Starbucks' most recent change: its ice cubes.

The Seattle-based coffee giant is introducing new machines to select locations this year that make nugget ice instead of cubed ice, and Reddit users felt inclined to weigh in.

The change — albeit very small — is apparently infuriating some customers who claim the new nugget ice melts faster and can even dilute drinks, according to a Reddit thread. Others are ecstatic over the nugget ice, which is less dense than cubed ice.
