Venti is the name of Starbucks’ largest standard hot cup size.
In the United States, a hot Venti drink holds 20 fluid ounces. The word “venti” means “twenty” in Italian, matching the size of the standard hot serving. Starbucks uses Italian-inspired names for several of its beverage sizes rather than straightforward small, medium, and large labels.
The main standard sequence is Tall, Grande, and Venti. Tall is the smaller named size, Grande is the middle size, and Venti is the largest of those three for hot drinks. The size names can be confusing because “Tall” sounds large in ordinary English, even though it is the smallest of the core Starbucks sizes.
Venti does not always mean the same volume for every preparation. In the United States, a cold Venti is generally 24 fluid ounces, while a hot Venti is 20 fluid ounces. Trenta is a separate larger cold-drink size.
