Starbucks sizes come in the form of their glasses in which the largest size is Trenta which was introduced in May 2011. The name was given from the Italuan language which means ‘thirty’. Maybe it is assumed that the coffee size is 30 ounces but it is actually 31 ounces. Mostly the sizes in restaurants would be simply samll, medium large but here at Starbucks it is not the regular nomenclature rather they have different names. So if someone is not a regular customer at Starbucks then ordering a coffee would be a bit time consuming. For example they have this cup size called ‘tall’ which may give the idea that it is the largest cup size while it is giving only 12 ounces of coffee. The names are collected from different languages particularly from Eurooe so the names are giving you a Eurotrip.
Starbucks makes it easy for the customers as well because they are not only giving names to their cups but also providing all the necessary information. The calorie count, amount of caffeine, amount of milk or chocolate. All these count are written on the menu or the cups to facilitate the customers.
What are the Starbucks cup sizes?
There are six available sizes for the Starbucks. The sizes are all differentfeoending upon the beverage being served. They may have separate sides for hit or cold drinks. Some sides may be dedicated to the type of drink like cold drinks, shots and expresso.
Demi
This is the smallest sizes available at Starbucks but it is not the smallest as compared to other coffee sellers. This is the smallest one for serving expresso and contains 3 ounces. As said it is still triple the times Expresso being sold as compared to other because they will sell the smallest one as 1 ounce of 2 ounce. This mean that the Demi sold at Starbucks is still big enough.
Short
Short is among the original sizes being sold at Starbucks and can be called as the smallest size. This contains 8 fluid ounce of beverage. The coffevwe usually drink at home has a cup size of 6 to 8 ounces so there is more coffee being sold in a small cup. Although it has the same quantity of coffee like we have at home still being small it is not very popular.
Tall
Tall is 12 fluid ounce and again an original Starbucks size. In the beginning this Tall cup was equivalent to the large cups being sold at other coffee shops but now the case is different. Among the sizes being offered at Starbucks this is a small size compared with other servings.
Grande
The word Grande means ‘large’ in French, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian. The name may indicate that this is the largest size but actually no. The largest are yet to come as this one contain 2 ½ cup or 16 fluid ounce
Venti
Venti; this is what you call ‘twenty’ in Italian. The name indicates that the cup size is 20 ounces for a hot coffee. The previous cups do not indicate their sides in any language but it seems that Starbucks like to play with the names. However when you are ordering cold coffee the Venti will come with 24 ounces because there is added ice in it.
Trenta
Lastly Trenta is the largest size bring offered at Starbucks and is means 30 in Italian. It serves 31 ounces though which is a plus point for the customers. The cup is well only available for the cokd beverages such as lemonade, ice tea, ice coffee etc.
