Starbucks sizes UK at a glance
Starbucks UK cup sizes
| Size | Hot drinks | Iced drinks | Espresso shots (latte) | Caffeine, latte |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 236 ml / 8 fl oz | — | 1 | 45 mg |
| Tall | 354 ml / 12 fl oz | 354 ml / 12 fl oz | 2 | 89 mg |
| Grande | 473 ml / 16 fl oz | 473 ml / 16 fl oz | 2 | 89 mg |
| Venti | 591 ml / 20 fl oz | 709 ml / 24 fl oz | 3 | 134 mg |
The UK recipe is the reason a Tall is a strong drink: two shots in 354 ml. In the US a Tall latte has only one. The flip side is that the Grande, the size most people order, adds 119 ml of milk but no coffee.
What each size costs
Uber Eats lists the Tall price and adds a fixed step for each size up. For most lattes the step is £0.62 to Grande and £1.25 to Venti; Americanos and Frappuccinos step up by less.

Price per 100 ml
Caffè Latte: what you pay per 100 ml
| Size | Price | Per 100 ml | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tall | £5.00 | £1.41 | 89 mg |
| Grande | £5.62 | £1.19 | 89 mg |
| Venti | £6.25 | £1.06 | 134 mg |
The bigger the cup, the cheaper each millilitre: a Venti latte works out at £1.06 per 100 ml against £1.41 for a Tall. If what you are buying is caffeine rather than milk, the maths turns around — Tall and Grande carry the same 89 mg, so the Tall is the cheaper dose.
Sizes that are not on the menu board
- Short (236 ml) — available for most hot drinks if you ask. The Flat White and the Ristretto Bianco come only in this size (£4.92 and £4.85).
- Iced Venti (709 ml) — the iced cup is 4 fl oz bigger than the hot Venti to make room for ice.
- Trenta — not sold in the UK.
Kcal by size
Kcal grow with the cup because most of a latte is milk: a Caffè Latte with semi-skimmed milk has 124 kcal as a Tall, 151 as a Grande and 204 as a Venti. Flavoured drinks also get more syrup or sauce in the bigger cups, so a Venti Caramel Macchiato has 273 kcal against 167 for a Tall. All kcal and caffeine by drink: Starbucks caffeine chart.

Frequently asked questions
What are the Starbucks sizes in ml?
Short 236 ml (8 fl oz), Tall 354 ml (12 fl oz), Grande 473 ml (16 fl oz) and Venti 591 ml (20 fl oz) for hot drinks. An iced Venti cup is bigger, 709 ml (24 fl oz), because part of it is ice.
Is a Tall the small at Starbucks?
For most drinks, yes — Tall is the smallest size on the menu board and in the apps. A Short (236 ml) exists for hot drinks, but you usually have to ask for it, and the Flat White is sold only in that size.
How many shots are in a Starbucks Grande?
In the UK a Grande latte has two espresso shots — the same as a Tall. A Short has one and a Venti three. So a Grande gives you more milk, not more coffee: 89 mg of caffeine, the same as a Tall.
How much more is a Grande than a Tall?
A Grande Caffè Latte is £0.62 more than a Tall on Uber Eats and a Venti £1.25 more. Frappuccinos step up by less: £0.47 to a Grande.
Which Starbucks size is the best value?
Venti, if you want volume: a Venti latte costs £1.06 per 100 ml against £1.41 for a Tall, and it has a third shot. If you want caffeine, a Tall and a Grande latte have the same two shots, so the Tall is the cheaper way to get them.
Does Starbucks UK sell Trenta?
No. The 30 fl oz Trenta cup is only sold in the US and a few other markets, for iced drinks.
