For years, I got used to ordering coffee in Starbucks sizes like ‘Tall’, ‘Grande’, and ‘Venti’.
The first time I went to Dunkin’, I had to pause and rethink that habit.
This quick guide should make Dunkin’ cup sizes a little easier to line up with what you already know.

Dunkin' Donuts vs Starbucks—Who’s is bigger?
For medium and large drinks, Dunkin Donuts and Starbucks are the same size.
Starbucks uses different names for its coffee cup sizes, and it has one more option, the 8-ounce Short size, than Dunkin’ Donuts does.
Dunkin’ offers cold drinks up to a Large size, but their Medium cold drink is the same size as Starbucks’ Venti iced (24oz), and Dunkin’s Large cold drink is the same size as Starbucks’ Extra Large-sized Trenta iced (32oz).
That was a bit tricky for me at first, since I’m more used to Starbucks sizes and names than Dunkin’s shorthand.
Here’s the drink-size list, which makes the comparison much easier:
- 8 oz: Starbucks Short
- 10 oz: Dunkin’ Small Hot
- 12 oz: Starbucks Tall
- 16 oz: Dunkin’ Small Cold or Medium Hot / Starbucks Grande
- 20 oz: Dunkin’ Large Hot / Starbucks Venti Hot
- 24 oz: Dunkin’ Extra Large Hot or Medium Cold / Starbucks Venti Cold
- 32 oz: Dunkin’ Large Cold / Starbucks Trenta Cold

Conclusion
It took me a few visits to get it, but Dunkin’s drink sizes are pretty straightforward once you separate the hot and cold lists.
The switch from polystyrene to paper cups can make the hot drinks feel less familiar in hand, but the sizing system itself is still simple.
Hopefully this makes the cup sizes a little clearer the next time you order, especially if you’re moving between hot and iced drinks.
