    Okay, doing a quick story and need some quick info, please.

    Starbucks coffee shops..do they use the size names of their cups in Britain that they do here? - short, tall, grande, venti?
    Could someone tell me what the price of a tall vanilla latte in Britain would be?

    I don't "do" Starbucks..have boycotted them for years.

    Thanks for any info you can give me!

    We have Tall, Grande & Venti here. No Short as far as I know.

    I guess the vanilla latte is about £3.50 or so. I was in Starbucks today, should've checked!

    Short - 8oz
    Tall - 12oz
    Grande - 16oz
    Venti - 20oz

    you can also get espresso cups which are i guess 2-3oz (1 espresso shot = 1oz). This is accurate for the UK

    Can't find prices for servings anywhere on line, but I have read comments that the prices vary depending on your location "Coffee at Starbucks in London will cost more than coffee at Starbucks in Lincon..."

    Sorry I could not be of any more help.

    LOADS of help! Thanks everyone!!! Perfect. Yeah, they used to have "short" but now a "tall" is the new "short". Duh! I'll go with 3.50 (can't find the pound sign on my special charaters..grr).

    If you have a numeric keypad just Hold down alt and type 0163 and you should get a poundsign. (Only works on the keypad though!)
