Full origin of venti →Frequently asked questions
What are the Starbucks sizes in order?
From smallest to largest: short (8 oz, hot only), tall (12 oz), grande (16 oz), venti (20 oz hot or 24 oz iced), and trenta (30 oz, for selected cold drinks only). Confusingly, tall is the small on most menu boards.
Why is the venti iced size bigger than the hot one?
An iced venti is twenty-four ounces rather than twenty, because a good part of the cup is taken up by ice. The extra four ounces keeps the amount of actual drink closer to what a hot venti gives you.
What does venti mean in Italian?
It simply means 'twenty'. Starbucks named the size after its capacity in fluid ounces, following the Italian-styled naming used for grande and other menu terms.
