Cup Sizing and Terms

Welcome!

Recently due to the High Volume of Locations, Starbucks has become the Coffee Industry Standard for Beverage Termonology and Cup Sizing terms! Here you can find out what the most common terms are and how to order them!

Starbucks:

Hot Drinks: (4 sizes)

Short (8oz.)
Tall (12oz.)
Grande (16oz.)
Venti (20oz.)



Short or 8oz. cups are commenly used for Espresso Con Panna's, Espresso Machiatos, Americanos, Double Espressos that need room for milk or ANY childrens drinks. Almost all other hot drinks will go in either the tall, grande or venti sizes!

Iced or Blended Drinks: (3 sizes)

Tall (12oz.)
Grande (16oz.)
Venti (24oz.)



These cups are used for all iced or blended drinks. Starbucks calls its blended drinks Frappacino's. So If you wanted a Mocha in a blender you would say "Mocha Frappacino"!

Tim Horton's:

Hot Drinks: (4 sizes)

Small - 10oz.
Medium - 12oz.
Large - 14oz.
Extra Large - 20oz.

Iced Capp/Iced Drinks: (3 sizes)

Tim Hortons has new Iced Beverages such as the Iced Latte and Iced Mocha along with its original "Iced Capp" Slushie! The Iced Capp is a blended slushie Coffee Flavoured Beverage which uses a handheld blender, Cream/Milk and a frosted Cappacino Mix.

Small 10oz.
Medium 14 oz.
Large 20oz.

OTHER COFFEE SHOPS:

MANY OTHER COFFEE SHOPS USE A COMBINATION OF THE ABOVE TERMS AND SIZES! TALL, GRANDE, SMALL, MEDIUM ETC. The Term AMPINO may be used as well and this size is another way of saying large!
