Starbucks size chart: cup sizes at a glance
Five Starbucks sizes are in use in the US. Hot drinks come in Short, Tall, Grande and Venti; iced drinks skip the Short and, for coffee, tea and Refreshers, add the Trenta. Each size has its own number of espresso shots, which is what decides how strong the drink is.
Starbucks US cup sizes
| Size | Hot | Iced | Shots in a latte | Caffeine, latte |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Short | 8 fl oz | — | 1 | 75 mg |
| Tall | 12 fl oz | 12 fl oz | 1 | 75 mg |
| Grande | 16 fl oz | 16 fl oz | 2 | 150 mg |
| Venti | 20 fl oz | 24 fl oz | 2 hot / 3 iced | 150 mg hot, 225 mg iced |
| Trenta | — | 30 fl oz | — | iced coffee, cold brew, tea, Refreshers |
The Grande is the sweet spot for espresso: it doubles the shots of a Tall. A hot Venti keeps two shots and adds milk; iced Venti espresso drinks get a third shot to make up for the ice.

| Drink | Tall | Grande | Venti | Trenta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caffè Latte | $0.47 | $0.41 | $0.36 | — |
| Brewed coffee (Pike Place) | $0.30 | $0.27 | $0.25 | — |

| Caramel Frappuccino | $0.56 | $0.46 | $0.32 | — |
The bigger the size, the less you pay per ounce. The Trenta is the cheapest by a distance: a Trenta Pink Drink costs $0.25 per ounce against $0.55 for a Tall — though part of every iced cup is ice. More drinks ranked this way on our best value Starbucks drinks page.
Espresso shots and caffeine by size
Caffeine follows the shots, not the cup size. In a hot latte it goes 75 → 75 → 150 → 150 mg from Short to Venti, so the hot Venti is no stronger than the Grande. The iced latte keeps climbing — 75, 150, 225 mg — and an Americano adds a shot at every size: 75, 150, 225 and 300 mg. Shaken espressos go 150 → 225 → 300 mg.
Brewed coffee is where caffeine climbs fastest with size — 155 mg in a Short Pike Place, 235 mg in a Tall, 315 mg in a Grande and 390 mg in a Venti. Cold Brew reaches 360 mg in a Trenta. Full list: Starbucks caffeine chart.
Calories by size
Calories grow with the milk and the syrup, so they rise with every size. A Caffè Latte with 2% milk has 100 calories as a Short, 150 as a Tall, 190 as a Grande and 250 as a Venti. A Caramel Frappuccino goes from 260 (Tall) to 470 (Venti), and a Pumpkin Spice Latte from 300 to 470. Black coffee, Cold Brew and unsweetened iced tea stay at 10 calories or less in any size. Lighter picks by size: low calorie Starbucks drinks.
Which size to order
- Hot espresso drinks: Grande. It has two shots for $0.90 more than a one-shot Tall; the hot Venti only adds milk.
- Iced espresso drinks: Venti if you want it strong — the iced Venti size gets a third shot (225 mg in an iced latte) for $0.40 over a Grande.
- Iced coffee, Cold Brew, tea, Refreshers: Trenta, the cheapest per ounce. Ask for light ice to get more drink in the cup.
- Frappuccinos: think twice about the Venti — the price step is small, the calorie step is not.
- Watching your budget: a Tall brewed coffee at $3.65 is the cheapest drink on the menu; see Starbucks drinks under $5.
