Starbucks Secret "Short Cup" of coffee 8oz

Most people are unaware of a secret menu item called "the short cup" which is available at Starbucks. Most Starbucks coffee is sold in one of three infamous sizes advertised on its menu and on the web site: tall, grande and venti. But you can also ask for a short cup, which at 8 ounces is 33% smaller than the 12-ounce tall. You'll save about 30 cents on a cappuccino or a latte this way, but the real payoff is in the taste: The short cup offers a more concentrated espresso flavor because less water is used. Enjoy!
