Sizing Model
The Master Sizing Architecture – 7 Brew Cup Sizes Explained
7 Brew uses a Split-Track Sizing Model. Coffee and infusion drinks follow one track, while energy drinks, smoothies, and sodas follow another. This sizing system is based on base density and ice displacement, which is why a 16 oz Medium means different volumes depending on the drink type.
Quick Reference: Split-Track Sizes
| Drink Type | Small | Medium | Large | Extra Large |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Coffee & Infusion Track | 12 oz | 16 oz | 20 oz | 24 oz |
| Energy, Smoothie & Soda Track | 16 oz | 20 oz | 24 oz | 32 oz |

Not a cup size. It adds 6 shots of espresso (~450 mg caffeine) to any drink size on the menu.
The Pocket Rocket
Order a Small Triple 7 for maximum caffeine in the smallest, most portable cup.
The Double-Double Chiller
Ask for a Large Chiller with double flavor for more intensity without sizing up.

Nutrition
Dietary & Nutritional Considerations by Size
How sizing up affects sugar, calories, and add-ons.
The Sugar Jump
Medium to Large adds 1.5–2.5 pumps of syrup, about 80–120 extra calories.
The Skinny Swap
Order “Skinny” (sugar-free + skim milk) to cut calories by up to 60%.
Dairy-Free Upcharge
Milk alternatives are a flat +$0.70, so larger sizes give better per-ounce value.
