Choosing the Right Cup Size for Your Menu
Published on 12/29/2025
8oz, 12oz, or 16oz?
Selecting the right cup sizes is crucial for your profitability and customer satisfaction. Offering a standardized range allows you to simplify inventory management while meeting diverse customer needs. It also helps in controlling your cost of goods sold (COGS) by standardizing portion sizes.
- 8oz (The Purist): Perfect for flat whites, cortados, and small cappuccinos. This size is favored by specialty coffee shops that focus on the coffee-to-milk ratio.
- 12oz (The Standard): The universal "Regular" size. Ideal for lattes, teas, and drip coffee. This is typically the highest volume seller for most cafes.
- 16oz/20oz (The Traveler): For those who need a serious caffeine fix or are taking their drink on a long commute. Essential for iced drinks where ice takes up significant volume.
We stock all standard sizes to ensure your menu is fully supported. Having the right mix ensures you never have to turn a customer away because you didn't have the right vessel for their drink.
