Starbucks offers several distinct drink sizes, each with specific fluid ounce capacities and some unique naming origins inspired by Italian coffee culture. Here are the standard Starbucks sizes as of 2023-2024:

• Short : 8 fl. oz. (available only for select hot beverages)
• Tall : 12 fl. oz. (considered the smallest regular size on the menu)
• Grande : 16 fl. oz. (medium size, despite "grande" meaning large in Spanish)
• Venti : 20 fl. oz. for hot drinks, 24 fl. oz. for cold drinks (the name means "20" in Italian)
• Trenta : 30 fl. oz. (available only for select cold beverages like iced coffee, cold brew, and iced teas)

Additionally, there is a Demi size (3 fl. oz.) used primarily for espresso shots but not typically a full drink size for customers

. The naming conventions are influenced by Starbucks' founder's inspiration from Italian coffee culture, which is why sizes use Italian and Spanish words instead of the usual small, medium, and large

. In summary, the most common Starbucks cup sizes you will encounter are Short (8 oz), Tall (12 oz), Grande (16 oz), Venti (20/24 oz), and Trenta (30 oz), with Demi reserved for espresso shots.
