On the drink sizes, maybe this will help. Being that espresso is an "Italian" coffee, I assumed the names were italian as well. If that is correct, the sizes in Italian translate to: Tall = ? Venti = twenty Grande = large so a "tall" is less than the "twenty" (20 oz)? and a "grande" is more (than 20 oz)? Oh, hell I don't know!
