Why Not 20oz "Venti" Hot Coffee Drinks?

We do not offer 20oz hot coffee drinks for several reasons:

1. You can not make a proper espresso-based drink (latte, cappuccino, etc) that large. Hope you like milk, cause that's all you get in a 20oz "venti", more milk on top of the same quantity of espresso in a 16oz drink.
     Our 12oz espresso drinks contain a double shot, 16oz is a triple shot.

2. It would take at least 4 shots of espresso and 3oz of flavoring (syrup or sauce) to make a proper drink. It would be a $5+ cup of coffee, hard even the most die-hard java fan to swallow. Any "venti" drink that costs under $5 is not made properly, and why drink a poorly made latte just to save a buck?

3. I'm no diet fanatic. I often upsize or "go large" on my burger combos. And I believe people should be able to make their own choices, good or bad. But as a business owner I get to make choices about what I am willing to serve our customers. Take a moment to read through the "Coffee Truths" article in our Fun Stuff section. It will help shed some light (and pounds) on the whole mega-size coffee kick.

4. If everyone offers the same stuff, you end up with...what we have in corporate coffee culture today! Where's the fun in that?

 

Why 20oz "Venti" Iced or Frozen Coffee Drinks?

 
We do offer 20oz iced or frozen drinks for one reason:
1. Ice. A 16oz drink poured over ice overflows a 16oz cup, but perfectly fills a 20oz cup.
