"Let's break it down: In ascending order of size, Starbucks has the demi (three ounces), the short (eight ounces), the tall (12 ounces), the grande (16 ounces), the venti (20 ounces for hot drinks, but 24 ounces for iced drinks), and their largest size, the trenta, weighing in at 30 ounces and only available for iced coffee and iced tea drinks."
"Dutch Bros, on the other hand, offers as its smallest option the Kid's Size, which holds nine ounces, and exclusively serves caffeine-free and low-sugar drinks. Then there is the Small (12 ounces for hot drinks, 16 ounces for blended), the Medium (16 ounces for hot, 24 ounces for blended), Large (24 ounces for hot, 32 ounces for blended), and finally its Extra-Large, which holds 32 ounces of a hot drink or an undeniably hefty 44 ounces for an iced Dutch Bros alternative."
"Comparing the prices of the two chains is a little trickier, as what you can expect to pay at Starbucks or Dutch Bros will depend on what state and region you are in. Additionally, the coffee industry has faced extraordinary pressure over the past year, partially as a result of U.S. tariffs imposed on Brazil and other major coffee-producing countries, as well as harvest issues, the effects of which may still cause prices to rise."
Starbucks size lineup runs from demi (3 ounces) through short (8), tall (12), grande (16), venti (20 hot / 24 iced) to trenta (30 ounces, iced only). Dutch Bros sizes start at a Kid's Size (9 ounces, caffeine-free/low-sugar) and progress through Small, Medium, Large, to Extra-Large, with blended and iced options reaching as much as 44 ounces. Dutch Bros consistently provides the largest available beverage sizes. Price comparisons depend heavily on state and region. Recent U.S. tariffs on Brazil and harvest issues have increased industry pressure and may continue to raise coffee prices.
