In coffee-shop sizing, a "grande" is the mid-sized option at about 16 ounces, while a "venti" is larger, typically around 20 ounces for a hot drink. Grande sits one step below venti on the menu.

A "tall" is the smaller size, usually about 12 ounces, while a "grande" is the next size up at roughly 16 ounces. Despite its name suggesting "big," grande is actually the middle option.

A "grande" is typically around 16 ounces, which is about 473 millilitres. It is larger than a "tall" but smaller than a "venti."

"Grande" is the Italian and Spanish word for "large," and coffee chains adopted it as part of an Italian-style sizing scheme rather than a literal measurement. As a result, the word that means "large" actually labels the mid-sized drink on the menu.
