What you need to know about Starbucks Venti cup-size drinks

How much drink is in a venti iced coffee

As you consider the prices of different venti Starbucks drinks, it is worth keeping several facts in mind:

Iced coffee tends to be more expensive compared to hot coffee, and this is because iced coffee is more challenging and time-consuming to make. The inclusion of ice demands more expensive equipment and more labor costs, all of which are accounted for in the price you get.

For the uninitiated Starbucks newbie, a Venti size cup is the Italian translation of ‘twenty.’ However, the definition of Venti in Starbucks language is slightly different from what you may expect – a hot Venti cup contains 20 ounces of liquid (about 591ml). In comparison, the iced version will hold 24 ounces of liquid (about 710ml).

The venti is not the largest cup size Starbucks offers; that honor goes to the Trenta cup, which you can think of as an “extra-large” cup.

The prices of these drinks change regularly, as Starbucks’ pricing policy requires that these prices are revised twice a year. Therefore, the prices I will outline are not fixed, and they will also depend on the store’s location and the specific drink you are buying.

While Nitro cold brew qualifies to be under the “cold coffees” label, Starbucks does not sell venti Nitro cold brew drinks – and the reason does not have much to do with the caffeine levels. Instead, this is because when the barista is pouring nitro coffee, the drink must never touch the tap, and this is impossible to achieve with a venti cup. Therefore, Starbucks will only offer nitro drinks in Grande and Tall sizes.

If you are wondering about the number of espresso shots in a Venti-size cup, the standard Starbucks venti drink has two shots. However, remember that this may change according to the specific drink you want and whether you want less or more espresso. If unsure, you can always ask the barista for their recommendations.

You can also order these Venti-size drinks using Starbucks stars. The average number of stars you need is 150 for most drinks. The best drinks to order are the Venti Americano, Venti Iced Coffee, Venti Flat White, and the Venti Salted Caramel Mocha Frappuccino.

Conclusion

Venti-size cups at Starbucks are what would be termed as “large” in many other coffee houses, so do not be confused by what it means. It is best for people who want a moderate caffeine boost for a long day, but you should avoid it if you are very sensitive to caffeine.
