How Much Is a Pump of Syrup at Starbucks?

Syrups are common sweeteners that you get at Starbucks in hot and cold beverages. If you have ever had to watch what you are eating, you may have wanted to know how many milligrams are in a pump of syrup.

There are two types of pumps: a small pump for cold drinks that dispenses about 7.4 milligrams, which is equivalent to 1/4 ounce, and a larger pump for hot drinks that dispenses about 15 milligrams (1/2 ounce). This means 4 of small pumps make an ounce or about 30 milligrams of syrup.

I learned this recently when I needed to reduce my sugar intake and was curious to know exactly how much syrup was in my cup. By knowing this, you will be able to determine the significance of each pump you add or reduce to your drink and manage your diet better.
