  1. Damn, beat me to the main thing I was about to say!

    The other thing was that I am amazed by how much some of those vary. OK, so some are twice as large in volume as others, but that obviously isn’t a very important factor (hence the 8oz Caffe Latte is the same as the 12oz Caffe Latte, I presume because the extra volume is made up with more milk, not more coffee).

    I thought an Americano was just an espresso with extra water added, which in my book is basically the same as ordinary filter coffee. So how come the tall and grande Coffees both have so much more caffeine in them than an Americano???

    I do not expect you to know the answers to these pressing questions, incidentally. But maybe someone out there does?
