Choosing the right 7 Brew cup size might seem like a small decision, but it actually has a big impact on your overall experience and what you pay. Order too small and you are left wanting more. Order too big and you might not finish it. Let me walk you through each size option so you can make the perfect choice every time.
The Four 7 Brew Cup Sizes
Small (12 oz)
The Small is perfect for trying new drinks, quick pick-me-ups, or when you want something lighter. At 12 ounces, it is roughly the size of a Starbucks Tall. It is the most affordable option on the menu and gives you enough to enjoy the full flavor profile without feeling overly committed. Great for concentrated drinks like breves and mochas where a little goes a long way.
Medium (16 oz)
The sweet spot for most people. At 16 ounces, it is satisfying without being excessive. This is the most popular size at 7 Brew and what I recommend as the default. The price bump from Small is minimal (usually $0.50-$0.75), and you get noticeably more drink. Think of it as the “Goldilocks” size — not too much, not too little.
Large (20 oz)
For the serious caffeine enthusiasts. Large gives you 20 ounces of your drink, which is excellent for iced drinks that you want to sip throughout the morning. The ice takes up some space, so if you are getting something iced, Large ensures you are getting plenty of actual drink. Comparable to a Starbucks Venti.
XL (24-32 oz)
The big one. And honestly? The best value on the menu. The XL costs only about $1.50-$2.00 more than a Small but gives you 2-2.5 times as much drink. If you are a heavy coffee drinker, share with a friend, or just want your drink to last the whole commute, XL is the way to go. It is the best ounce-per-dollar option at 7 Brew.
Hot vs Cold: How Size Works Differently
Important tip: for cold drinks, ice takes up a significant portion of the cup. A 16 oz iced latte might have 6-8 oz of ice, meaning you are getting 8-10 oz of liquid. Hot drinks do not have this issue — you get the full volume as liquid. So if you order iced drinks often, consider going one size up from what you would get hot.
Which Size Is the Best Value?
If we are talking pure value — ounces per dollar — the XL wins every time. Here is a rough cost-per-ounce breakdown for a typical flavored latte:
- Small (12 oz): ~$0.38/oz
- Medium (16 oz): ~$0.33/oz
- Large (20 oz): ~$0.30/oz
- XL (24-32 oz): ~$0.22-0.27/oz
The gap is significant — XL can be nearly half the per-ounce cost of a Small.
My Size Recommendations by Drink Type
- Lattes and Breves: Medium or Large — concentrated enough to enjoy in these sizes
- Energy Drinks: Large or XL — sparkling drinks are great in bigger sizes
- Smoothies: Medium — these are thick and filling
- Iced Teas and Lemonades: Large or XL — refreshing drinks you want lots of
- Secret Menu (first time): Small — taste test before committing
