Starbucks standard sizes are Tall, Grande and Vente, which means on a practical basis, Small, Medium and Large.“Vente” is literally Italian for 20, and the cup 20 ounces (more or less).Some stores appeal to the real coffee addicts with an even larger size, “Trenta”, which is Italian for 30.They also categorize the coffees by how “bold” they are, from “Dark” (strong) to “Blond” (mild). Maybe they’re just humoring me, but I generally manage to crack up the newbie barristas by telling them how Starbucks is the one place I can get away with asking for a “Tall Blond”.

I usually just get a tall, which is a small. “A tall is a small?” Sorry, Animaniacs moment there.
